I, personally, dont think its that serious. But kudos.

Looks good. So you just taped up the Jumpman as well? Sounds like a pain, but looks good.

Can you get clearer close up pictures of the surface that you painted? Does it look painted in person or does it look natural?

 

[southwesthouston]

It looks natural , retro right or even better sea glow will never make heeltabs white again, this method works.

At salvo : yes I used the little art knife and it was easy to cut around

 

[southwesthouston]

Close up after paint and matte clear coat added . Looks natural, something sea glow will never accomplished and I've tried before

obviously. that's what this thread is about.

 

[eltouha]

not bad

 

[strongmind3]

looks very good

 

[peekthasneaks]

hmmmm

 

[midnight hype]

Looks like new

 

[cdunk]

Very nice......are you going to attempt to use the same method but different color for the cracking midsole?

 

[zack54attack]

Need to try this...

 

[transam1079]

Nice....I will have to remember this when the day comes.

 

[bence23]

this needs to be done. fire red 3s are so so underrated.

 

[chris316]

Imma try this pretty soon to my 3's.

 

[lil black jean jacket]

thanks for the advice. probably not gonna use. though I do have both those products.

 

[Magic33]

My fire reds are slightly yellowed and cracked, might try this one day.

and obviously it's not really a solution. in reality you are covering up the problem, not getting rid of it

 

[southwesthouston]

For the cracking midsoles I will use the typical angelus paint but for heel tabs , this method is the way to go since sea glow doesn't work on heeltabs
