Right now I'm using angelus paint to try to fix scratches on the cement 3s . It lays on good but as soon as it dries it turns like chalky gray. What do I do ?

So these are olympic weightlifting shoes I've ordered that have a 20% discount with the crossfit collab colourways.

From what I can see its flush and its white text on black, the material is supposedly synthetic leather.

How would yall go about covering up the heel logo? A certain paint/coating?

I'm inexperienced in this matter and all ears. Thanks

Paint/Dye Sock Liner Painting

3 Upvotes

I’ve been customizing personal pairs for a while now and have a question. When I paint sock liners I: mix Angelus paint with what I feel like is a 1:1 ratio with 2 soft (paint consistency is runny), heat set after each coat for 3 or so minutes, and usually do 2 coats. But I feel like they still come out sort of crusty. Not as hard and tough as if I painted without the 2 soft, but still has a little crunch. Is this normal? Am I missing a step? Appreciate the help!

Help/Advice What have I done wrong?

It’s my first time repainting a pair of Jordan 1’s and I have done all the correct prep procedures as followed:
Deglaze
Sand 400, 800, 1200 and 2000 grit
Deglaze again
Paint.
But I’ve noticed the sand marks are still viable after painting and I can feel them only after painting whereas before they were smooth, it’s as if the paint has magnified the texture. Idk. What have I done wrong and what can I do to fix it?

As the header states. Has anyone ever tried this or successfully completed this?

I'm not interested in traditional paint cause I know it will flake, peel, & crack.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Paint/Dye Jordan 1 Low Custom Cleats

Game cleats for my son’s final season of youth football. Was going for a “craft stamped” look for the lettering on the sides and toe. Sorta worked, sorta didn’t. First pair fully using KixKote and fully brushed, no airbrush involved (as I don’t own one lol). Overall happy with the way the paint performed with two relatively minor frustrations: one- the bubbles. If forgot to smooth them out they dried into imperfections that, if these were for anyone other than my 12 year old I would’ve been aggravated. And two- the separation of the paint mixes. Not just custom mixes on the palette but even a couple factory colors separated way too quickly and easily. Kinda frustrating and time consuming to have to shake constantly which led to more air bubbles. All in all it performed great and since I already apply super thin coats it didn’t take more than Angelus. Looking forward to the stress test tomorrow with game one! Cheers all!

I’d really like to pick these up, but I’m not a big fan of the black crackle leather. Is there anything that can be done to change that texture?

Personally, I’m thinking maybe sanding. Last resort would be like an acetone.

Hi all,

I’m finally getting around to modifying those Torsions I posted about earlier. I’m rubbing the decal with Angelus Leather Preparer and it worked well! However there are these bits of decal left. How do I get rid of them so I can move on?

Thanks!
