CRUSTPUNKS.COM IS GOOD FOR SPIKES..YOU CAN GET 1000 FOR 25 OR 30 BUCKS. AND ACRYLIC IS GREAT FOR LEATHER...SINCE YOU HAVE STENCILS RUB THE PAINT IN CIRCLES LIKE YOURE RUBBING IT IN. IT HELPS KEEP IT ON THERE LONGER THAN JUST STROKES. SORRY MY CAPS LOCK IS STUCK LOL

Emily all leather can be painted but unfortunately it cost's , you first have to prime the leather with a urathane primer then a couple of coats of special leather paints , I used to re-colour leather lounges once upon a time in my younger years :) you can strip the colour on your jacket now with thinners as all leather has been coloured from new , you may be able to use vinyl paint from an auto shop , hope this helps :) keep up the good work .
