painting/coloring a Dunk sole
« on: January 24, 2014, 05:07:26 AM »
I know there have been some threads about this here, but does anyone know the best paint and/or method to use to color a copsole--like paint a white sole black? I know it will come off during skating...

From what I've read about customizing shoes, Angelus leather paint is the way to go. The only problem is it's going to crack over time since the sole bends so much. Honestly, especially if you're planning on skating them, I'd just get a spray can and have at it.
Look I'm not selling anything that doesn't have my jizz on it. I don't care how much is offered.

Angelus is actually made for leather and is acrylic based, spraypaint is solvent based and more suitable for rubber.

you're a genius. I just watched Jeremy Wray's second hand smoke part where he's wearing those. Beautiful. You should go all out and paint a little 23 on the back panel.
