hypebeast forum is like my go-to-guys before i drop my dough!
have any of you guys ever used 3M reflective ink for textiles? they're water based, and good for fabrics and cotton but there's no mention of leather. i was wondering if it would adhere to leather, and if it is strong enough to withstand walking on? any feedback is good.

you have to mix it with a fabric medium so that it'll stick to the paint, thin it out and airbrush it on in a good few layers. (you have to airbrush it or it wont go on evenly)

Or you could put on a thick layer of paint, get some of the reflective in powder form and sprinkle it on evenly???? cant say i've ever tried it tho and it'd make it rough... kinda like the 'glitter' customs
