A wonderful student saw this and passed it on - I'm going to have to try these paints for leather. Especially as I recently had bit of an ebay boot buying binge and have a few pair patiently waiting in the wings for their day of glory.
"Angelus Acrylic Leather Paints are brilliant and opaque in color and are used for decorating, staining, or edging smooth leather and vinyl articles. Ideal for painting special areas on western boots, belts, tennis shoes, purses, jackets, etc. Angelus Leather Paint, when dry, will not peel, crack, or rub-off. Waterbased for easy clean up."
For those of you who might have missed it
