Looks good! One thing I'd recommend is to peel the tape before the paint dries. Peel the tape after a couple minutes when the paint is still tacky, but not wet. You'll get cleaner lines when peeling the tape and less likely to peel paint at edges.

This is a great video. The first midsole I did was this shoe and I didn’t prep properly. Or paint properly. I used acetone when I could of just scraped. I created holes in the midsole and stained black paint all over the midsole material. Also other gunk. I created such a big mess literally and figuratively. I also used the wrong tool and scraped the side of the shoe. It took my 5 tries to get it right. Love the video
