Sneaker Tongue Tag

[brittonmane]

I recently made a pair of all white Nike Air Max 1 on NikeID. The tongue tag came with a black Nike air max logo on it. I wanted it all white. I tried bleaching it, painting it. The black shows through. Anyone know how to make it white?

make sure you rub the tag with 100%acetone and then put your paint on. after you will need a gloss varnish. search liquitex

I'll try the acetone. Why glass varnish?

GLOSS varnish or something to act as the sealer to prevent the paint from being rubbed off

Ok. I meant gloss by the way.

Is it leather? Mesh? Patent Leather? Suede?

It's like the tag on Air Force ones.
