My first "custom" Core Black 3.0. I painted upper and cage. I wasn't a fan of the grey stripes.

Nice, what'd you paint the upper with? 
 

I'm actually painting the cages on my pair as we speak.

What kind of paint did u use? I was gonna do this exact same thing and do the boost as well

 

[Mugen247]

The navy was 220 and the black was 175 for some reason iirc. The eqt was 220-225. Ordered both nmds of hannon for 165 shipped and got the eqts from sns for 229 shipped. Gotta love the euro sites.

black was changed back to 220, it was a pricing error.

Every site had a pricing error?

I'm talking about the Adidas US site with the pricing of the blue being 225 and black being 175 in the beginning.

I used Dupli-Color - Vinyl & Fabric Paint. PK will remain soft as long as you do not saturate it. As for the cage I used the standard Black Angelus leather paint followed by a VERY LIGHT coat of Krylon Matte Finisher.

^ok thanks for the info, so u sprayed the whole upper. I was gonna go by hand and just paint the gray areas.

May i suggest krylon flat black spray paint for the cage. Its an exact match for the heel cup, no finisher needed.

Does krylon spray paint cause no chipping or peeling for the cage?

I taped off the Boost and the cage and then sprayed the entire upper. I hand painted the cage (only took 5mins) because I would have to re-tape certain parts of the shoe and that would take more time than hand painting it.

*IMPORTANT* If you plan on keeping the Boost white be sure to have the tape over lap on the Primeknit unless you are a pro at masking. After removing the tape I had a few areas that were still greyish so that's where I used a paint brush and Angelus.

Thanks. Yeah I had the listing opened but was looking at pricier shoes to save the whole $50 w the coupon. Then realized they'd go quick and got them

FML Got an unauthorized chargeback on Paypal from a buyer that I've already sent the shoes to. Unfortunately even though I paid for the label through Paypal, I did not do signature confirmation but I do have the tracking information showing it was delivered to their Confirmed address. Likelihood of seeing my money or shoes again? 

@chrisnuggets  One main reasons I don't deal through eBay or marketplace anymore.

What can you do to protect yourself?

I was planning to use GAC 900 with angelus for the upper, I've had the gac for a long time but just never used it.

I was going to go that route but it sounded like would take too long.

That blows man. I'm always afraid of this Thats why I rather sell on goat even tho you have to pay fees

That LTD tongue looking fire... (saw this on FB)


View media item 2367251

eeeek i think the regular tongue looks a lot cleaner IMO

 

[ueih]

Was this through ebay? I've had this before it's basically the person saying the account was unauthorized/stolen so it's really difficult to fight. I'd suggest to use GOAT to avoid situations like this.

I would agree.

I would've just gone ape sh*t with that spray since it does say it is for vinyl and fabric. Hahah. Just curious why you just didn't use that spray for the cage? I want to try it out now for cage and boost. Hmmm[emoji]129300[/emoji]

I thought about it but had it not worked I would have been heated since they are DS. I might try it on a beater pair.

Was hoping for a black leather tongue like the previous leather cage models.

 

[ohwussup]

Any news on those burgundy 3.0s? I hope they're still dropping

 

[mbp12]

Confused about the tongue because the preview pics show a reg tongue...
