A couple weeks ago, I became the proud owner of rhm 188 (one of rhm's re-leathered saddles). The thread for the build that it will be going on is here.

Anyway, I have used the time that it has been drying to sand the rivets to the smoothness I desire, and planning out my next extreme action. Leather Paint.

I gave it a couple coats today after mixing up some Sapphire and Silver Metallic leather paint. Here's what it looks like now.



Not 100% sure of the durability of the finish, but I will find out before too long.

Am now working on leather bar tape and brake hood covers, which I intend to paint to match.
