What can I use to coat an Avirex goatskin A-2 that I have in order to get a similar effect as what ELC is doing for their 'Escape' A-2? I don't expect a perfect result, obviously, which is why I'm using a $100 Avirex rather than a great jacket. I'm just quite curious about trying one, and don't really know what I can go buy to brush onto it to produce the glossy, dark, and ultimately flaky (and flake-0ff) lacquer. Will wood lacquer crucify the leather?
Ideas? Thanks guys!
FYI, I am having the lame little thin Avirex epaulettes replaced as we speak by my local chinaman/tailor-god, and then I want to lacquer it. Then I'll put on the AAF decal and go to work on additional bling such as name tag, nose art, etc. I will post photos throughout the process. Make no mistake, I know it will NEVER look like an ELC one, but its just a little pet-project.
