Picking Paint for Painting a Leather Jacket

Video Transcript

"The next thing you want to do is get your paints. You can pretty much go to any paint store in town. Pearl is great. Michael's is great. What you want to get. I started out with Createx paints. They have flat paints, also metallic paints, which is kind of fun. A little accents of metallic. Be careful with the metallics. If you do too much of the metallic, it ends up a little bit cheesy. I'd say use it sparingly. They are very cool to work with, especially if you have nicks or spots in your leather. If you mix in a little bit of the metallic paint it covers really well, so that's kind of a little trick to use. If you've got like a vintage jacket and there's a really dark stain, then you can usually cover it with some metallic paint. It's kind of a little trick. Actually, my favorite paint is from an amazing company called Angelus. This paint is actually specially made for leather boots, so it's super durable. You can wear it out in the rain. I throw these jackets everywhere. I just toss them around. I'm really rough with them and it sticks on there really well. This is great. You can go to their website and order from there. Very easy. Go out, find your paints, get your color scheme together, and you're ready to go."
