Wouldn't start with a $220 shoe. start off with air force ones and go up. For all shoes you would use Angelus leather paint from turtlefeathers.net. also don't forget to use acetone and cotton balls to strip paint, or file/sandpaper it off
dunno if you would add alc when you PAINTING. but i do know you supposed to use acetone (nail polish remover) on the **** you trying to get rid of . check out sneakerhedinthebay on youtube he has good videos on it. Airbrush; im going to try getting into that soon, but nothing so far.
