yeah the check is real messy because when i put the gesso down it WASNT dry.So it kinda left marks.And i kinda rushed through the check.

I never used matte finish before.I only used gloss which i didnt like because the shiny affect was icky.

The uptowns i did up there were orignally :Black with grey stiching.All i did was the front and the checks.

I checked the paint and its called Homefront Decor Paint......Very good paint and its cheap......Its like 1.27 a bottle

E22s: I just put a little bit of Lacquer thinner or you can use Acrylic Thinner......Lacquer seems to work better....Or a type of paint thinner made for Acrylic......I bought it at Ace Hardware thats......Thats the only place I know that carries it

Dr Exclusive: Naw I mean we recently had sleet but in the summer I wore it in 90 Degree Heat

I havent had a problem w/ delta paint mixed w/ acetone and alcohol.

And i just painted my kobe2s the other day. They've held up fine so far, no cracking

 

[roca z4]

E22S: Yea I bought both at Ace.......You can use it straight from the bottle but its too thick........

^ yeah, i was wondering the same thing... i was thinking to do my Jordan XI White/Columbia Mids's sole Red...

peace

 

[babybrat4life]

For the sole on the Xi,You can use liquitex medium viscioty(spell check lol)..Of coarse painting the sole of the xi,it will peel off or scrap off but!..You can use liquitex mixed with acetone and put it on them.About 4 coats.You should out matte finish on it if you want. After a week you will have so touch up the paint though because it will most likely peel off.

I would like to know how to paint patent leather.

Thank LIVEFORKICKS for this info from his essay. . .

shoe painting guide

 

[ricksokrayzee]

how long should you wait b4 you put on another coat?

 

[soundbyte]

That essay was very insightful. I didnt even think of putting multiple coats of acetone prior to painting, Has anyone here used the Windsor and Newton Finity High Viscosity Artist Acrylic Paint mentioned in that essay?

 

[lilwang05]

i waited just until the paint dried...


peace

 

[babybrat4life]

You have to wait til the paint is dry to apply another coat.

i dont think i got the weather protection off before i painted. i put on like 4 coats and 3 coats of varnish and the first day i wear them for only 20min they cracked should i crack off the paint and redo the whole thing?
