"In terms of drying your jacket and taking care of it, you basically want to make sure that it's dry before you move it. Give it a good half an hour. It dries fairly quickly because it's water based, which is great. Make sure that your cat's not going to jump up on it, your kid's not going to move it, or whatever. Just keep it sort of free and clear for a good half an hour and then it should be good to go. The paint is really durable. Like I said before, you can wear it out in the rain. It sort of soaks in like a tattoo, so it's really permanent. If you want to spray a protective coating, you can get that at any leather store just to safe guard it, but you don't have to. That's pretty much it. It's really easy. Treat it like a luxury good I would say. Other than that, it's very easy to care of. You have your backup paints if you do get a scratch or a nick in it. Other than that, enjoy it. Wear it out. Enjoy it. Next, I will be showing you how to custom paint a pair of jeans, so join us for that."
