Nah haven't tried any paint, that actually wouldn't be a bad idea. I might have to look into that, I'm just awful with that kind of stuff though, this would be me after trying to paint just the logo

LOL you guys are cracking me up! It does help to have a background in art and design for customizing sneakers. For me its just taking the leap in starting a pair...I have a hard time doing that. But once you start you have to finish. Wait....
this would be me with a paint brush

Speaking of paint jobs, what type of non-Angelus brand paint would you guys use for the tongue? Acrylic paint? Fabric paint?
Anybody painted the logo as well as the reptilian parts on the side of the tongue? Wonder if that'll be a good or bad look.

Honestly, the Angelus stuff is pretty cheap. Like $30 for a starter kit (12 colors and 5 brushes) or buy individually for a couple bucks per color. Pretty sure everyone is using it for custom work. Just go that route. Its a proven product.
As far as the tongue....I have only done the logo and a couple swooshes on the medial side. I think it would be difficult to do since the scales are so small and not as recessed as the shuzoku. Less room for error but if you do it post some pics!!! Would like to see how it turns out.

Quick question. On the GITD soles, how long does it glow? I know for GITD toys if I let it sit for a few hours in the sun it glows all night.

I have used regular acrylic paint on my pairs and it has been fine. I get the paint that is already premixed so that it is not as thick. Most bottles go for about $6. I did both of these pairs with non angelus paint a couple months ago and they are still fine.

Cheers for all the tips, fellas. The brand of acrylic paint I bought is Liquitex. Bought a black and a gold color. Black for my Beethoven 10 ID and gold for multicolor IDs. Intend to do the shozoku only....no confidence yet to paint the scales

So is eBay the only place where I can cop X IDs online?
Returning my DS 5 rings to NDC, the elite low GR colorways were so bad
drill sergeants, mambacurial, 5 rings, opening nights, chesters.....IDs so much better

iD was the way to go for the X. I didn't pick up a any GRs for the Xs.
Now I'm staying away from the iDs for the XI. CWs have been solid for the retail pairs

What is a good price for grinch iD? Worn once
- 5,095
- 13,937
I would say $275-300 is a "fair" price based on what deadstock pairs are going for. Depends on your size, but most new pairs are going above $300, seen some sell for $350-375.

Ragrets on the Grinches. I hated on them from the get go too. But not willing to pay that resale price for them.
