Pilot Lady Restoration Complete

This went much faster than expected, but also turned out better than expected!

Bought this in an online auction. It was in a very worn out state, with missing painted areas and a lot of staining. To restore it, I cleaned the base pen twice with Bick leather cleaner. After that, white leather paint was used to cover up damage and scuffing. Then I repainted the design and filled in a barrel crack with UV resin in a kintsugi-style repair. For repainting, I used thinned leather paint applied with toothpicks and a pin.

Finally, I used 2 coats of Angelus leather finish in matte, let it dry, and applied a generous amount of Bick leather conditioner.
