nice work, they look better than mine.

i remember how hard that elephant print was to lighten. no matter how many times, the watered down acetone eventually stopped working. i think i changed up and used watered down white acrylic paint and then went over the dark print lines with ink. tbh, i eventually wished i stayed with dark elephant print. even though that's not exactly like real katrinas, i prefer it that way.

careful with the white paint where the tongue connects to the toe box. it chips there.

nice job, i think the katrinas are a little lighter in the red area but to me all of the 3s look better when the midsole color stops before getting to the to the toe cap part, like the white cements. great job though!

Look great, I just redid my black cement 3s, and was wondering if you used the angelus finisher or just the angelus paint itself?

They look pretty good.

Just the paint, I don't know what the finisher is

 If you don't mind, give me the low down on lightening up the EP.  Trying to do the same thing to my FR 3's
