nope. just have a color match done at lowe's or home depot. just take a sample over there and they'll tell you what paints you need.

follow the directions. i know for the rit i have at home all you have to do is add a couple of capfuls to some water in the sink and a little detergent. justuse a toothbrush for best results. no sunlight necessary, just let it dry outside.

wow, you're really putting some effort into this. you should see results after about 5-10 minutes. maybe time to use some bleach diluted withwater or maybe rit.

There is a scratch on the toe of my 6s and I was wondering if their is anyway to smooth it out? Will it cover up when I paint with Angelus or is their somethin I could use before I paint? The leather is like shredded..
Same with the side of the shoe the leather feels real soft and looks fuzzy
Sorry for the bad pics...
fot he other area, you can try just straight paint, but like i said its going to stand out a lot.
I was actually going to paint the whole shoe cuz their real beat up. So what exactly does the ace tone do?

the acetone acts as a primer for the paint. whenever you paint anything, first you add a layer of primer so the coat of paint your applying willstick and hold better to the surface being treated with paint. and it also helps remove the old paint so the repaint is easier.Originally Posted by HipHopJunkie

looks like you did a decent job on those 4s, good job....
clean up the edges tho and you will be better off, might want to use a finisher too.
