I bought a new leather jacket 3-4 weeks ago. Many cows died to make that jacket I'll tell ya! 
I decided to get something painted on the back.
I think it looks friggin' good! 
It looks a bit shiny in the first pic (taken in the conservatory) but the second pic shows better how it's been painted to look 'aged' and a bit worn out (a bit like myself then!).
Before you ask, no I didn't do it myself.

looks great! 
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

So you now have a "one of a kind". Very cool! Would love to know how it was painted... maybe a trade secret though...

All I know is the paint used is acrylic.
It looks to me like all the little 'cracks' that make up the distressing were done by a brush by hand!!

Yep, looks great, Ade. I especially like that "aged" look, too.
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
