i've done a few layers of this clear stuff over the jumpman on my electric lime 2011's. it's hard to get even because the paint is thin. tried mixing it with clear finisher too, but there was minimal improvement.

the lime has lightened a tiny bit

on a dark night, these will look sick.

played around there's some on the "vent netting", but since it is black based the glow is very faint.

the paint i got from ebay, tiny $5 sample pot.
 
Looks cool, Thats defiantly an eye catcher.. I wanted to get my mint roshe painted to make the bottom mint glow.. But I heard the paint cracks after a while so I passed.
 
I gave no idea how to do an outsole. It's clear in daylight so cracking is no worries.

Tried on my Kobe ix
Right now in daylight

Hard to get even over a big area.
 
I'm planning on doing this to a pair of Lakers VI's, to both Jumpmen on the back and on the tongue tab, as well as the sole. Do you think this will work on the sole if I add it to some Retrobrite? Thanks
