Aloha my fellow Lopaka!

You are too kind! Wait till you see the Hawaii variant hand painted

Hoping to get one set painted in the next couple days.

Soo…I changed the thread’s name as I’m gonna derail often from the origin. That having been said all the hype on the MUZM Mars has me wanting to reengage ASAP.

As to the current project. Oakley Leather Patch prototypes. Ocean painted…when dry on to the islands!

Well…I need leaf green to progress on the Hawaiian variant so I’m dead in the water till it arrives tomorrow. Side note…acknowledgement to @Brettc10 for his Hawaiian Scatter Skull logo variant!

Sooo…I’m switching to the basic leather logo patch for the moment. My first inclination was X-Metal Metallic Pewter for the skull, a Metallic Silver for the background and a Black frame.

But thought I’d toss it out there for artistic input as to colors. Thoughts?

Oh…and Happy Veteran’s Day to all my Brothers and Sisters past and present who have served!

Sadly, I’ve gouged a few lenses myself trying to take off those rings. Just carelessness on my part. Sticking a tiny screwdriver in between and twisting to spread open more is about the only way I know of. I only use my side cutters if there isn’t enough room for a screwdriver.

I always mask my frames and lenses with masking tape around the c-ring to protect against a slip.

Lush Island Green leather paint has arrived so time to proceed on the Oakley Skull Hawaiian leather patch variant!

Gonna need a second coat of green to get those islands to pop…

Think I already found a home for some of these patches…and conveniently notched for ones Oakleys

Looks awesome, man

Dang! Almost forgot this little gem. These leather patches are approximately 2.5 wide for reference.

Looks awesome!! Really cool idea. One quick side note I think you are missing an island? There are 8 islands in the chain. I think there is only 7 on your design.
