Anyone know how they are dyeing these ultra light colors on black suede based shoes? Lol

Just got this restoration in, i consider myself to be pretty good, professional status at what I'm really solid at but I'm not sure what to do with the patent leather!!! Never ran into this on any 11s ever especially dmps! Please heeeelp!

yeah looks like they used whiteout lol. you got any tips as far as color matching

 

great job

 

would you recommend the angelus mink oil for the suede conditioner?

 

I'm attempting my first restoration of some '06 FR 3's.

How many coats of fire red do you guys normally use?

I am applying very thin coats but I still see streaks.

Do you think I can use very fine sandpaper to try and get those out?

 

i repainted the same shoes i think i did like 6 coats. the first like 3 coats are kinda opaque then the last few coats you should see the red really start to pop

 

Thanks. Do you remember what size paint brush you used? I think I'm using a #4 which is like a quarter of an inch wide, but I noticed in the sneakerheadinthebay youtube video he recommended a #2. I wonder if a wider blade may help.

 

Man Doms, relatively new to NT but not to collecting shoes, just read all 19 pages of this thread, you sir do some impressive work.  Nothing is better then bringing a pair of beat OGs back to life.  That being said I just got gifted a pair of OG Cherry 12's, only have one question, Im going to repaint the white leather upper and probably the red leather as well.  Do I just prep the areas lightly with the acetone before painting and then let it rip? (already cleaned the shoes as well of course).  Thanks for answering my question in advance good to see people in this game that are still willing to help others.

 

So I used Retrobrite and it worked fine in bringing back my icy sole, but veven though I taped and double-taped with 3M blue painters tape, this is what I saw when i took the tape off....Suggestions?.....
