Anybody have any pointers on what is the best paint to put a logo onto the back of a vinyl seat and paint some lettering onto a leather jacket? Thanks.

Angelus leather paint is what you want, you need to degrease and deglaze the leather with acetone, this also helps to key the paint, you can brush or spray it on, followed by a finisher/sealer
