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

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

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..

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

they look fine to me
maybe just tidy up the area below the wings logo where the red meets black.

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

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.

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)?

So beater rotation continues.

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