Asics Love?!? Where is it?

 
Man those look nice. I know thats a picture but how do you paint/dye the sockliner material? @joelom  @flores0206
it might not work with the green being so dark. but you mix leather paint with this stuff called GAC XXXX (i forget the number) which allows you to change the color of softer materials.you mix it with the color and apply it. then you hit it with heat to soften it up and make it bind to the fibers. the sock liner is a ***** to color though. it absorbs everything. this was going to a super green GLV. been working on it for over a year just don't feel like finishing it haha. but this is 13 coats of the grey over the purple. its not bad, but would be better after i put a heat gun/ blow dryer to it.

Wow thats a ton of work haha. Ive tried using dye and it works well however it rubs off and fades slightly over time. Thanks for the response. You da man.

the dye works. i used a black dye on my black tan IIIs and make them all black. but black is easy, and if its not a light grey or white, its just a lot harder.  
 
8 balls are looking clean, sadly still waiting on my pair to come in

Flamingo's did not come in a sz 13, which is what I wear, so if I had some I would be able to trade for at least 7-8 pairs of GRs if not more.

To be honest, I havent even tried that. I've only done basic midsole repaints and leather...I am assuming it would be tough to paint blue just because that green is so dark, it would just turn black or dark purple. What if it was bleached prior to painting? Bringing it to almost white or cream, would that help when using another shade, in this case blue?
