With a minor touch up the black medial isn't as bad as yall swear it is. Would it be better if it was actually weaved? Of course

yeah, I prolly would've kept a pair of black medial if I had some skills and time to paint.. but I decided to just order a Tour Yellow medial instead.. I'm quite sure I'll get the darker weave in that version as well.. so that'll make 2 dark and 2 light version for my mc's..
looks great though after the touch up.. pls post some closer shots when you can.. and maybe steps and products you used to do the touch up.. I'm sure someone here will find it helpful.. Thanks..
Repped!

Fairly simple but you must be meticulous. I laid down painters tape along the edges to prevent any errors even though I didn't really need to. All you do is basically color each grey thread and make it black. You have to be precise and careful not to color any volt/purple/crimson threads as this would mess them up. If you have a steady hand you can do it took me maybe 30 minutes to do both.

I got the lighter weave on my black medials so i would love to keep it if I can just remove the paint on the toe box then use your method to fill in the grey weave so it would have black lines instead of a black patch. Anyway to remove the black paint?

not sure but I wouldn't think so. I'd assume the dye would remain slightly and leave the colored threads a dark ugly color.

Do you have a pic? Haven't seen a black medial pair yet that had the lighter MC IX-esque weave.

Its not lighter like the grey medial but not as dark as the black medial. Just took one right now in my car no filter.
