What color of angelus paint do you suggest to paint the midsole and the toe box.

Crazy work this is straight
I have a few questions for you regarding setup and time. Are you using the liquid or creme retrobrite solution and which gives you better results? How long are your indoor sessions for example: 5 sessions of 4-5hrs each? Are you still using the double Repti-Glo 5.0 bulbs for your indoor setup i have the 10.0 compact bulbs will these work also? Sorry to ask so many questions but i seem to be stuck in my unyellowing process lol. Thanks in advance.

I use the creme solution, I've found it gives better results but that could just be for me. My sessions are usually around 4-6 hours each and how many sessions really just depends on how yellow the soles are. Retrobriting takes time, you just gotta keep at it. A lot of the time, folks think that because they dont see instant results, it means somethings wrong ie. Formula, lights etc. But most of the time its just because they havent done enough sessions. The 10.0s will work as I've replaced my double 5.0s with one 10.0 because I found the double 5's give off too much heat. And dont worry about asking me questions, thats what Im here for!
Anyway, hope this helps,

I dont do swaps as of yet but I would love to start in the near future
and my advice would be to look up Retoremysneakers Midsole swap videos on youtube, they're filled with tons of info about doing the whole swap

Are you using the single 10.0 for 1 shoe or both together? I feel like I need 4 in order get both shoes front and back.

Definitely do not get 4, the heat that those 4 lights will cause so much sole seperation,
just one 10.0 is really what you need
When you line the inside of the box with the reflective surface of your choice, the UV rays will reach the front and back of the shoe

Starting these columbias from 96, begin with the soles, and here is the progress so far, I used outdoor method for now...

as you can see though, if you do not cover your pods, the "retrobrite" will kind of strip that paint on those, these I don't care cause I already planned on repainting them anyways, and the black angelus is perfect...still have ways to go with the rest of the shoe....thanks guys, and thanks dom
Thanks!
