Experiment with Acrylic Leather Paint

These white Saltwater sandals were picked up at "the Bins," the colloquial term for the Goodwill Outlet in Seattle's SODO, where they sell clothes, accessories, house-wears etc., by the pound. These almost broke the bank at $1.09.

Not enthused with the color, I ventured to MacPherson leather supply on 12th and bought some "Angelus Brand" acrylic leather paint, in "Neon Paradise Purple."

Left has two coats of paint, Right has one coat.

Even after the second coat I can still see the brush strokes, but the color is super saturated and beautiful. We will see how they fare in the humidity and heat when I go on vacation to DC and NYC.

Update: The paint works and the color evokes compliments.
