OT: How to paint fake leather part of partly leather recliner? - 15 years ago

I have 2 recliners that have leather on the contact surfaces. But, across the front, the bottom 1/2 of the strip your calves touch is fake and has cracked and peeled and looks awful. It has a wheat-colored fabric behind the navy fake stuff. Is there a paint that would come in navy that might make it look better? It would need to be for cloth and who-knows-what.

Re: Austin City Limits - Ray Davies ... - 15 years ago

I missed the first 30 minutes. He seemed much less of a wild man than I remembered. The guitar player had a litlle different rhythm on "All Day and All of the Night" than the record and it didn't have that garage sound, so I was disappointed in it. His flat notes really showed, but that's part of his charm, I think.
