Can u post picks of them after a few wears so we can see how well they hold up.
bro i thoguht of the same thing!!!!! i wanted to get an air brush kit so i can start doing it like that reduces time and comes out cleaner but yeah the only thing i can think of is grab a box cutter blade and lighty go thru were the tape seem is but it happend to me a couple times it fixable just go over it with a brush ofter the paint doesnt peel hella bad it just takes a little chunk if your not carefull and when u take the tape off pull away from the paint so if it does strech a little it would be left over paint not taking it from the paint " did that make sense? lolOriginally Posted by mikecabrera
ghotemex23!! You are the man bro!!! Awesome tutorial! How did you learn how to do all this? I can't wait to try it out and resurrect some of my J's. I was wondering if I could use an airbrush with those Angelus Acrylic Leather Paints...
The thing I'm worried about with using the airbrush is it will be hard to not get overspray on the masking tape, so when I remove the masking tape it might pull on the rest of the dried paint. I'll have to do a couple of test runs with this, but if I could avoid paint strokes with the airbrush, I will be super pleased!
Thanks again!!

Haha... you know what, you deserve some kind of consolation for erecting this thread as it
prompted me to whip these out and showcase them.
But, i'll at least grant your wish, remove the paint and start on
Air Jordan IX Project Fire Red Part Deux.
I remember wearing these to hoop in and these cats laughed at me cuz they assumed,
"Okay, we havent' seen these in stores, they were never released... they prolly fake!"
I don't blame them.
When they were done, the IX's were clean as hell.
Mind you... it wasn't even a restoration job on some beaters; I applied the paint on BRAND NEW SHOES.
This time around, i would definitely take more care of them as i was type negligent back in college.
My concern at this point is... 1. how do i clean the sock liner (the portion under the laces) - that shouldn't be too hard, but
need to know how to rewhiten them. And 2. How to i remove the years of charred, scarred, grime, gunk, debri, and stains
from the sole?
to clean the iner part at the bottem of the shoe laces its simple tooth brush "bar keepers freind" and hot water make the mix and also apply a dry rub do it over and over and al that stuff will come off and turn white again and for the mid sole same concept except run the sole under hot water to get as much as that old gunk and junk to unstick from the sole and with a bigger brush rub the hell out of it no need to worry about the soles let me know how this turns out and dont worry about the haters bet u if they only knew what u did and that they were legit kicks they would want in on it rock what u feel like u know i did some air maxes and i have ppl come up to me asking were i got them and i said i made them ....ill tell ya them cats wanted in askin if i could hook them up...the air maxes were simple and they were my test dummys
and there u go fire red air maxes lol

lol your welcome bro and i have a little trick to bring out the aqua 8s too! makes the suade all buttery and black again get at me...

If you get paint on the tape just take an exacto knife..or any sharp knife, and score the line between the tape and what you painted...it should come off clean that wayOriginally Posted by mikecabrera

I really hope you do these. I bought a pair of these recently and I want to freshen up the white parts. Mine are no where near as bad as those, but the white sections on the midsole are turning yellow. I am just kind of scared I will mess up lol.
