I'm just getting my Valk ready for the summer and thought my saddlebags looked a bit tired.Before buying a new set I thought I would try some leather paint.I'm quite pleased with the outcome. I'm just waiting for my birthday goodies to arrive for the bike now. before  after  |

Look good. I saw that leather paint on an episode of Wheeler Dealer. How was your experience with it?

I found it very easy.The stuff i had was as thick as paint,almost like a gel.Put a bit on a small bit of clean rag and rubbed it in.I panicked a bit at first when it was drying but once dried it left a great finish.
I even used it on my Mustang seats and backrests.It really sharpens the look of the bike up.

Can you post a link to the product for me. Thanks, Dave |

I was going to buy some from Ebay but a buddy said he could get some from where he works.So I went with that.
I just had a quick look on your Ebay,theres some on there for 3.99$,maybe worth a try.

Most of what I saw on ebay was a spray can. Not touching that. Thanks, Dave |
