Actually the better question; Is 4oz black enough to paint the lining and leather?

4 oz is more than enough. You will have plenty left over. Probably enough to do another pair or 2

Yes the royal 5 paint. Cant comment on the matte finisher as i have not applied a finisher yet and i bought the regular finish

don't add duller too the paint then matte finish it.
If you want a real dull finish add duller to the paint and matte finisher

 

[Karizma]

Thanks for your help guys. I just ordered everything.

Is it ok to add matte finisher like that?

Are you asking if you're supposed to add the finisher to the paint? Nah, you apply the finisher on to the shoe after the paint has completely dried.

My experience, adding duller to the finisher is not good, it does not stick to the paint as much.. Its just my experience..

Yeah you just get a duller finish

Red is a little darker than what I wanted.. Debating on stripping it and doing it again [emoji]128528[/emoji]

 

[Karizma]

they look fine to me

maybe just tidy up the area below the wings logo where the red meets black.

Very nice man.

Do people hate the lasers this much? Lol seems like nobody wants them for what they are.

I don't think it's hate, it's probably because people don't wanna pay 500+ for shoes that they can customize to look like for way less

Yea, still got a lot of cleaning up to do, far from finished. Still gotta dye the sole too

what red did you use?

Varsity red, might add a drop of white if I redo it

Very nice man.

Thanks man

That's true, tbh I haven't even worn mine. I got them more to commerate the years I've put in to the Jordan culture.

I think the red looks fine, I bought the same shade of red as red for my next pair. But don't add white, it'll make it pink. Try adding orange or yellow to mix with first. If it gets to bright then add some white to lighten it up.

 

[dseditorjoel]

I need to ask, what's the best finisher to use? My buddy used a spray on matte finish and the paint cracked almost immediately on the laser royals he made.

What finisher do you guys use (especially since the leather is so soft on these)?

I need the answer as well after reading the comments on this product from angelus. People are saying the Matte finish actually leaves it glossy. 

I already ordered the Matte finisher and i really want my pair to be dull.

like @Duo 1026

I love them, but it's been monsoon season lately around here.........

So beater rotation continues.

Go with duller in the paint and matte finisher, that should technically give you the really matte finish.
