reflective paint for leather
all,
I searched through the forum and web and I didn't find much on the subject, I am wondering if any1 has an idea how to pull off a project...
reflective paint for leather jackets
Every military motorcycle rider has to (or will have to soon wear) a reflective vest or a bright colored jacket with reflective material in it.
I was chatting with a friend of mine, and we came up with the idea of ABing on leather jackets using a reflective paint in the design.
I think you could either sew in reflective "strips" then Ab on top of it, or has any1 used or heard of a reflective paint or a reflective additive? I have a cool design of jumpwings and flags that would be fun to try.
It would be cool if i could make this work and look sexy because if your jacket isn't reflective the alterative is this:

Thanks,

Re: reflective paint for leather
IT COMES OUT CLEAR,,BUT TEST SPRAY IT ON A SURFACE FIRST AND SPRAY IT BEFORE YOU SPRAY TO SURFACE,,MEANING GET THAT GOOK SHOT OUT FIRST,,hope that makes first,,sometimes the first shot is caked in there and ruins the whole project,,,GOOD LUCK
