there are 4 types of finisher pick the one that you want, goes from glossy to matt finish

as for the tongue tag.

you can use the tag for the ajko royals but its not the same not a deal breaker especially if you have a pair just sitting in your closet thank
@Paperclip for the idea.


Or you can go with a custom tag from these guys http://kutsukickz.weebly.com
thanks @RickyRiebel for the link.

The wings im still looking on an easy way to do them, looking like a fine brush and a steady hand will be the only way.

Eastbay still had my size so I bought a pair for $147.
Returning my $184.99 release day pair for a refund.
 
Unfortunately EastBay's shipping cost to me down under on the **** end of the world was too expensive. Gonna wait and see if anyone on eBay lists around $120-130 with a cheaper shipping option than EB. Add in the cost for the paint and materials then it starts to add up.

What size u looking for? Im looking for an 11. Also i added all the paint materials with the discount code 45$ shipped, you can get the coupon code for the soleglow on angelus if you like there facebooK page.
 
^ Looks good @sakdogg815

Anybody spotted any DS pairs for below $150? I would prefer to pick up a pair for less than that, but I'm getting impatient and need a pair to wear as beaters instead of wearing my Shadows and B&Ws. 
 
 
Yeah I was thinking about doing this to my extra pair. I'm a beginner to customizing so I gotta tread carefully. Only problem will be customizing the grey tongue tag to gold.
Waiting on a Black Gold custom.....any really good custom shops that do this professionally....and how are they for wearing does paint chip over time

No clue bro. I always wondered this my self, when it comes to full painting customization. I can't see paint lasting too long where creasing will occur regularly.
