Hey AirThompson, did you use any duller on the blue here or is this just straight royal? I'm also assuming the black is just flat black? Thanks.

you're wings are so crispy. Do you just use a detail brush? If so, what brand/size

Unrelated but seeing your avy gave me flashbacks to the early 2000's, sitting as a high school kid on NT. Good times.

Any tips on how to avoid making any streak marks on the shoe when painting?

Streak marks? When you do it by layers, the streaks should be gone by the 2nd/3rd layer depending on how thick the layer is.

I over saturated w/ a cotton ball & rubbing alcohol. I used the Angelus Sole Bright on the bottom.

Is the white on your pair the same white that came with the shoe? Not sure if that makes sense lol. I'm assuming you only acetoned the laser parts and taped off where it is white. Getting my second pair of Lasers soon and I'll be doing the frags again. I changed the pair I had now to royals because the white seemed off since I acetoned the whole shoe lol.

If you acetoned the whole shoe, you probably smeared some of the off white color of the laser onto different parts.

SHOaks yours aren't that bad....I'm calling these my 'impressionist' period wings lol
Just hoping the laser frags turnout as nice as EM's or my wings are as thorough as AirThompson's.

Always mix duller with my paints. Not a fan of the pre-made matte, because it doesn't allow you control of how dull you want the finish to be. I added about a 1:6 ratio of duller to paint. Angelus alone is too glossy.
It was from a detail paint pack at Michaels. Not sure the brand, but I know it was the cheapest ones.
Appreciated. Always easier when you paint free handed.

Light coats, and let the shoe completely dry. Don't go over the same spots during a coat.
Honestly found it easier to use no masking tape. Sounds crazy, but without masking tape you can see what you're doing. Free handed you can lightly apply, and go at it without leakage.
Those look awesome
Thnx, and don't rush. I wore mines as is for months before I decided.
