how is the white midsole
On the BL holding up? Really want to do it but am skeptical of paint cracking

One thing that will help is wearing in your shoes before you paint. You want to stress the midsole and cause any creases before you paint.

I called ups and it says if it was ground that nike used it wouldn't have hit alaska. so he said they probably used air shipping. I don't really care because it was free as long as it gets here on the planned date.

Just FYI, the Angelus Leather Preparer/Deglazer is pretty much just acetone. Just use nail polish remover instead to remove as much of the midsole finish as possible. If you do a good job you won't need as many coats of paint. 

I didn't rub the midsole hard enough with acetone on the blue lagoons and it took like 5-6 coats of paint before the volt stopped bleeding thru. On my grey volt pair, I did a lot better job with the acetone and only had to use 3-4 coats of paint.

I saw that angelus has a product to mix with their paint/dye to paint fabric so it doesn't get hard after. anyone tried that or tried stripping the top coat off the flyknit?

I've never tried the angelus brand stuff but any textile or fabric medium should do the trick and allow the paint to soften on fabric and prevent cracking. It was like $2 at Joann fabric.
