Re: How can I replicate suede?
What I do works real well, but tends to hide details in the plastic. I cover the part in embossing powder. Then I spray on some relatively thick coats of the paint I'm using to simulate the color of the suede. A very light dusting of semi-gloss to give it a some sheen and your done. Practice this first before you try it on the model part.

Re: How can I replicate suede?
The krylon "suede" works really well, just make sure you keep the item away from the can. It can go down heavy but drys very different. Use a scrap piece of plastic to try it out. I have been told you can use flour through a fine mesh.

At this point the embossing powder look very convincing if you were simulating carpet, but after a few coats of paint it will look more like suede. |

Re: How can I replicate suede?
Ay regular hobby store like Michael's or Hobby Lobby should have it. I found some there but figured I could use powder instead.

Re: How can I replicate suede?
As mentioned above the embossing powder can be found at the large hobby chain stores like Hobby Lobby or Michaels. It will be where the stamp making and scrap booking items will be. They usually sell it in small plastic jars.
Interesting idea about the flour/baking soda. I'll give it a try. |
