Turn your black/red Jordan 6s into infareds

[flawlessv]

Heads up NT, no pics as of this minute, just throught I'd share a tip.

I was restoring a pair of 2000 infared 6s and needed to mix paint to aquire the correct shade of infared.  I found a mixture that is 100% dead-on. 
With some taping and minimal paintbrush handling skills you too can use this color to modify your 6s or restore your OGs or 2000 retros.

Here you go.

(cheap craft paint type will work, stay away from any glossy paints, you want a matte finish)
4 parts basic red acrillyc paint
1 part yellow
1 part white
1/2 part metallic silver

I'll throw in the exact shade of black to complete the midsole.

5 parts ivory black
1 part white
