I am going to dye some suede soon . my question is do you have to prep the suede in any way ? thnx
ooo, i am too. and do you apply the bleach straight by itself, or would i have to add water?
i would also like to know if you could possibly bleach nubuck (i.e. the black nubuck on the black cat 4's)

nu2dunx: i'm no expert, but from what i've read consistently on here is that for one, you should never use sharpies. and when you're "sealing" the paint job, krylon matte finish or any matte/gloss finish should work.
Hey,i painted the tounge of my shoes with leather paint but the tounge isnt made of leather, is that wrong?

What is the tongue made of?
Hi guys, I need some help. I live in the LA area and I'm looking for a store that sells Angelus leather paints locally. I want to go pick it up so that I can start painting within the next few days without having to wait for shipping. I have a deadline coming up this coming weekend.
Any suggestions? Like I said, I'd prefer to buy in person locally. (LA, CA)
MUCH thanks in advance. I've searched, but I get too many false positives.
[quote:c1bf7e90c4="BxCuBaRiiKaN_XI"]i.MK- what about removing the jumpman itself? then getting a super beat cheap pair of 4s with nike air on the back remove it with idk a very sharp thin knife? then Glue nike air onto mars & paint it [if needed][/quote:c1bf7e90c4]

I tried acetone all it did was make a dark spot
