The paint work started with the primmer. Rust red primmer paint. Several coats of primmer were applied to cover the gray resin color. Primmer paint is used to fill imperfections and light scratches. The ones sand paper work can't fix of course. Also, will help the brown acrylic paint to cover better.

Once the primmer paint is dry, I applied the first coat of reddish brown paint. I applied almost five coats of that paint in order to cover the piece and achieve the brown color we wanted to get. The last details for the base paint were the gold buttons. I used mask/tape in order to paint with the gold acrylic paint. Only two coats were necessary for that pigment. A very strong one. As you will see on the videos It is very easy.

To accomplish the worn/weathered leather look, I used two different colors. The first one was a chocolate brown. It is just a little bit darker than the reddish brown used for the base. You will notice a shadow in the corners of the pouch, that's the chocolate brown effect.

The last color is black, which was applied in the same way; corners and borders. I think I achieved a decent worn/weathered leather look, even better than the first one I did. I am very proud of them. I took some photos with and without flash, so you will see how the pouches looks like. Rebeca, my wife, took the videos with her digital camera. She is supporting me in this crazy task.

To finish the paint work I will apply during this week a clear coat to protect the acrylic paint. I will assemble and ship them by the end of the week. May the Force be with you!
