Great stuff as always, I hadn’t thought to put the deglazer on the abrasive pads too and not just the applicator pads. The pre-creasing is an interesting approach too, some forces I made my kid cracked a bit at the high crease points but I sanded and touched up those spots and it’s held up ok so I sort of got there in a roundabout way

I see you are really emphasizing avoiding the stitching for the first time I can remember. The way the threads were frayed after prep always bothered me. This makes so much sense though. Extra attention with acetone on those tiny strips will be fine, and it’s only going to crack in the places it would otherwise. Keep pumping out the knowledge my man. Hope you understand how many people you inspire.

First time I ever used Angelus paint was 2003/2004 when I was in High School(yeah Im old now). Back when I would browse ISS Forums or Niketalk. The quality of most general release shoes, especially nike has been terrible since about 2007+. The Quality of Forces for example just for a pair of all whites were of better quality than today's "premium" releases. Back then all I did was strip the factory finish with acetone and went straight to painting and no finisher. Even wore some of my shoes to basketball practice and never had an issue with the paint lasting. With todays shoes I don't doubt your prep process at all.

Great Video Great Tips Especially Since I have always painted Shoes since the late 90s to skateboard in but the paint always worn off due to the grip tape and I am going try this for skateboarding shoes and wear test with your order of operations.

It’s hard to say you “have to.” I think this is a technique I would say falls under the category of when you want to do everything possible to prevent the worst case scenario. You dye white leather any color. So if the toebox needed to be painted red on your design you could dye it red first

What is the best way to use the adhesion promoter for shoes with different colored panels?

Or is it okay to apply the promoter over the whole shoe and paint it normally?

Great question. In order for it to be most effective you would want to take those extra steps of essentially applying it twice.

Don't the dye bleed? At least to the stitches? How do you avoid that?

Yes the dye can spread and bleed. But if you're painting a panel completely black it'd be fine to have the stitching dyed black before paint. However if you're asking if it'll spread to other panels stitching, then no not fro. my expeirence

1. Didn't you use leather dye products in Nike Swoosh line? What I'm trying to say is, I'm curious about the standard of applying paint between leather dye products and leather paint products 2. How can I paint the midsole to last? Please answer me.

Can’t paint midsoles unfortunately. I did not dye the swoosh since it was black. So no dye would really impact it. Otherwise if it were white I would have

how much ml need to paint a pair of shoe ?

@DeJesusCustomFootwear

It really really varies depending on the overall design. If I had to give a blanket statement and say if you painted an entire shoe one color it would likely take 1.5 oz total

Hey I was just wondering how big of a deal is sanding really gonna make? I really want to start customizing my pair of shoes as soon as my paint comes in and I didnt get any sandpaper. Also does the dye make that big of a difference? I was gonna make a pair of chicagos from heritages but I dont have sandpaper or dye on me.
