When I sanded it was just removing the paint, not any part of the midsole

And the pictures of the white are after 1 coat...I was getting sick of taking so many pics and didn't want to have 30 of them in the post...but thanks!

has anybody used the angelusxairbrush technique for repainting midsoles?.. do you fill the airbrush with straight angelus or do you add water or something? just wondering cause I feel like adding just angelus would be a waste.. imo


Got my gun ready just waiting to get my small air compressor and damn... can't wait. Hand painting with all the coats and etc just isn't cuttin' it lol

This is what the kicks look like as of right now. One shoe is gutted, unstitched and the donor is set in place. All that's left is repaint, restitch, and gluing! :]
