I used duct tape cuz painters tape dont stick to the mesh too well, then use an exacto to carefully trim around the swoosh (make sure you aint diggin too deep that youre cutting the fabric underneath. Done this before and it sucks). Do a couple passes of paint and clear sealer then carefully pull off the tape. Thing is these are customs so they aint never gonna be as good as comin straight from the factory. They're gonna have flaws (minor flaws if you're careful). You can just do certain things to minimize the flaws so theyre barely noticeable. And the reason why I do it on the black is it's alot more forgiving since it's a darker color vs. a lighter mesh. BTW you can try acetone-free nail polish remover on your smudge. It does a very good job on my black pairs, hopefully it'll do as well on your Trop Twists.
Ray - I'll take up close shots tonight. I think you should go for it. I've been very happy with results.
Ha and yea all of them are women's pairs. Personally I like the mesh on the women's pair and how my foot looks in them, except the new mesh (on the black/white/volts, sprites and challenge reds). That kind of mesh makes my foot round and its not as 'pointy' as the other mesh. Scooped em up from Zappos, Sneakerhead, & Sports Chalet. Gave one to my dad since I saw him checkin it out one day ha.
Thanks fellas. Got a couple more in the works, experimenting. I'll let yall know how that turns out!
