Thanks for your reply I appreciate it. I think imma just leave them alone though and not try to repaint since I'm not well experienced doing it. Would hate to ruin two shoes as expensive as those. Would rather a professional such as yourself to do it ya know.

Hey Jingx,

Try getting the angelus light grey paint,

They havent released an exact colour match for the cement 4's yet

So your best bet is to get the closest colour grey they have and then do a little mixing yourself

Try adding a little dab of white paint to it if you need to lighten it up or black to darken it

Also, you could always get the light grey paint and a darker grey paint and mix the 2 until you get the perfect shade

Paint mixing takes time, I`m not going to lie, to get that perfect shade wont be easy but its all trial and error

Where do you purchase the beat shoes from?
Click to expand...
In my earlier days when I had just started trying to restore shoes, many of the shoes I had purchased from Ebay or Craigslist

There are steals everywhere on beat up shoes on Ebay

But now some of the shoes you see me do are other peoples kicks that I have restored

But I do still occasionally buy a beat up pair on Ebay when its just to hard of a deal to resist
 
Dope ! I just picked up a pair and was gonna ask you if you ever done a pair . I'll hit you up before the spring comes . Needs to be repainted just like the above
 
I'm attempting to restore a pair of beat roshe run and would you have any idea how to repaint the midsole/sole and keep it from cracking and getting destroyed?

Roshe runs dont come with factory paint on the midsoles though?
 
Hey man. Big fan here from the philippines. I just gotta say but this post of yours is so informative and I got to learn so much stuff about cleaning/restoration. Props to you man ! Just gotta ask but how can I whiten the leather upper of my Fire Red 5(Grey Tongues) ? Do I need to strip the paint of the leather or do i just paint a thin layer of white on top of the original layer ? Thanks !!!

Thanks for the kind words!

I`m actually in the beginning stages of planning a trip to the Philippines for later in the year!

As for whitening leather, you can try a cleaner like the jason mark, angelus cleaner, pretty much any cleaner

or

Sometimes shoes accumulate a layer of dirt on the top layer of paint, so try rubbing some acetone with a cotton pad or swab

on the parts you want to whiten, make sure you do it very lightly and dont rub to much in the same spot because you just want to get rid of the thin layer

of dirt on the top surface

And then if you dont see too much of a difference or what them to be even whiter, like you mentioned, paint a thin layer of paint on top

Hope this helps!

Hey,

Im not sure exactly what you mean,

What paint would be chipping off when you adjust the laces?

Because theres no paint on the plastic lace loops

Great Airbrushing!

I love the colour, as for the paint chipping around the lace loops, I dont think they will, just be careful as you put the laces through,

Those type of customs arent meant to be worn very much, and If you are planning on wearing them, dont tie the laces tight,

This will prevent the laces rubbing against the plastic loops when you walk
 
I've had the same question about the plastic shoelace loops but have never asked it.  Thanks for clearing that up.

Thanx man.. Your always very helpful unlike some other restorer/customizer who don't share any tips and tricks or help in general... Thanx. I repainted the lace holes and just did a very light pass about 3 passes and heat gun in between for drying. So far no chipping when i put my laces on.. I will update in the long run after few wears..
 
I was actually thinking of sparting the plastic with SEM plastic adhesion promoter but could not find one available around my area..
