    Gave my new Avirex B-3 a classic paint Job tonight.

    sounds Rigorous! I was Thinking about Enamel working, Its Just hard to get the paint to soak in to this particular leather. The Paint on the Original Jacket looks like it absorbed well, wish I knew what it was. In the meantime I will check out your Reccomendations and do some more homework...

    Help to identify my G1... no label

    Looks Aces, Treat that one nice! I love when the collars get bleached out! Awesome! I had one similar, but it was small. I painted this on the back, Though I Knew it could be a little Blasphemous to add this on a vintage G-1 Jacket, after a long time I finally decided it wouldnt hurt...
