Hi Fett heads , does anybody have any advice on dying techniques on a white pleather ammo belt , product and applications etc . The screen used one looks sprayed . Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure pleather can be dyed. It may have to be painted, but it will need to be painted with a flexible paint or it will crack and chip.

I was about to ask the same question about half an hour ago... following this

Search up "Vinyl Renovator Colour" or "Leather Vinyl Paint" - Its a flexible paint that used on plastic leathers to dye them. You cant dye it like regular leather as it doesn't absorb anything, but it usually is painted.

Funkyred hit up Bryan Curtis. His username is bcurtis.

He used an airbrush and a special vinyl paint to paint my vinyl belt from Woody.

Regular artist's acrylic paint works pretty well in a pinch. I painted a pair of my girlfriend's pleather boots green for a Sailor Jupiter cosplay and it turned out pretty well.

I used Angelous paints in the end
