What are some good acrylic paints that would work on leather, and approximate cost?

hi, dont think acrylic is what you want as its water based and when it rains you will be leaving a rainbow trail... better off with a fabric paint that works on leather. tulip fabric paints are great and would be ideal for what you want and they are only 2.49 per tube. sold in good art/craft shops---south wales area nolton art gallery bridgend have them.

airbrush artists have been painting on leather, canvas, t-shirts - etc for years. Createx makes a great paint, and with bonders/adhesion promoters it will stick and be quite durable on leather. Painting them by other means, such as a regular brush may not be ideal, as the paint layers will be thicker...and prone to crack. Gotta wonder if oil paint with a damar varnish mixed into the glaze would work? I know the Createx works fine, as long as you use the bonder/catalyst/adhesion promoter.

Watch it using acrylics on leather. If there's any kind of oil in it to preserve it it will make the paint peel. The last time I painted a jacket I used model paint and it lasted for years. Acylics will look better but enamel will last longer. You may want to go to a leather shop and see what they say.

hmm i don't think you should use acrylics.. use fabric paint that you can find in most craft stores... IE. Hobby Craft, The Works, Stationery Box try Atlantis - the on line store is under construction, but you can order a cataloge... you can get decent ones for 3 to 4 pounds a colour... hope that helps mate
