Painting outsoles.

I want to paint my shoes sole black, what type of paint should do the job? Plasti Dip ?

[dillanharp]

just spray paint the whole thing black and stop being such a woman.

It'll just come off if you plan on skating them.

The reason Gravette is always injured is because he goes to Klan rallies.

Maybe you could dye the soles if they are vulc soled

I've dyed some kicks before, you can get a vulc sole nice and black, but the ollie area will eventually wear back to white.  The rest should stay dyed though.

After being skated for a few weeks heres what my dyed cts's looked like:

Oh they bled onto my socks a lot actually, turned em kinda purplish.  I wouldn't recommend wearing your favorite weed socks with dyed shoes

Thanks for the tip.
I don't have any favorite weed socks though.
Just whatevers clean and in the basket.
Was thinking of dying some white Sk8-Hi's. Vans has limited vegan shoes that aren't low tops.

well how did you dye it? and what about changing the color of suede? i have wanted white shoes for awhile but there are non that I like out right now. If I buy some gry suede shoes how can I change them to white?

[wisdom teeth]

I dyed mine with RIT dye, specifically the powder kind.  Mix it with boiling water, put the mixture in a shoe-box sized container, let the soles sit in the dye, used a brush to paint coats of the dye onto the suede. 

I don't think you can dye anything white, you'd probably be better off with spray paint.  In which case make sure you use flat, not gloss or semi gloss or anything like that.

Just go to a craft store and get a paint pen. . . you can do all kinds of colors and if it wears off, just repaint it. I wouldn't worry about it so much, just customize your shoes and enjoy yourself.

spray paint can ruin your carpet etc and dying them RIT wouldn't work to well since your feet get wet/sweaty.

I really don't know if I would ruin all my socks just so my shoes turned a different color. That's just me though. Ask T-racer he probably does something fucking stupid like fills a bowl with a gallon of paint then dips his shoe/foot in, he's dumb as something incredibly dumb and fucking stupid,

ALSO REMEMBER BAKER2G IN GRECO'S PART HE USED PAINT PENS TOO, THEY COME OUT REAL GOOD

Let me know how it goes!
