Just paint the white laces black with the same mixture you used on the sockliner, im working on that now.

How did you get rid of any paint splashes in the wrong areas. I'm just about done ona a pair and need some guidance on removing a few paint blemishes on the edges and in corners.

use a suede eraser if that dont work a little bit of deglazer should lift the stain

For any blemishes use half water half acetone and a qtip. If a lot of the white comes off I just touch it up with flat white

Anyone know a good site to buy solebright since angelus' website is sold out? Or have an alternative?

Got mine from there. Ordered Wednesday and should be here today. Most stuff is cheaper than angelus direct as well.

Thanks! Now all I need is to find a cheap heat gun. I think I'm ordering the paint through angelus though because it's cheaper if I buy the kit.

Or just use 40 vol will do the same thing. Checkout retrosnickers on YouTube. He did his sole with it. I think it's like $6-$8 a bottle from Sally's hair salon. People also use it to clear yellowed soles

 

[kvn]

Oh and for a heat gun, just got one for $9 from harbor freight

[kvn]

[Fidel_Cashflow]

Eh it's only 7 dollars less than a wagner one that i can get from my local home depot. I'll just dish out the extra.

 

[jayocampo]

Would 4oz red be enough to paint breds including the soles?

Yes, but you have to dye the outsoles, not paint them.

Depending on how the 11 release goes, I might just head to my local JJ that has them sitting and gobble up all pairs at $110.

I have a very strong feeling DS pairs are gonna be hard to come by this time next year. A lot of people are scooping up now to customize

I would jump on them if I can find em. Im hoping to grab a few more if I can as well. I regret not jumping on more of the Celtics 1s when they went for under $100 at some places. I grabbed a couple and customized all of them to Black/Gold 1s which everyone bought of me lol. Only kept one pair and by the time I wanted more it was too late. Not gonna make the same mistake with these

Yeah sorry I know. I'm going to buy sole bright too.

 

[Fidel_Cashflow]

No need to apologize.

It's already been mentioned, but Salon Care 40 works too. It's cheap and easy to find locally.

Oh yeah derp. I have a Sallys near me. Going to check it out tomorrow.

 

[jayocampo]

Actually the better question; Is 4oz black enough to paint the lining and leather?

 

[af1 1982]

I'll be happy if I can grab a pair to rock and stock as is. And if I'm lucky to catch JJ at an even deeper discount, I'll grab a few more
