well, u got acrylic paint, but do not use the leather paint on the soles.

i dont own angelus paint (which i should). but i use acrylic paint on soles, with a light amount of water with it with light strokes.

since your IVs soles have that shine to it, plain white just aint gonna do, if on the black part then

you're good money. hope this kinda helps

I was told to get the leather paint, because it held the best...

 

[emmanuelabor]

are you painting the leather or the sole?

 

[gotem4cheap]

the foam sole.... the black part by the air bubble...

hmm...I dont know much about painting midsoles.....I dont even do it. I heard thin layers of textile medium and paint work. I believe I was told like 3alternating layers of each...like this

medium
let dry
paint
let dry
medium
let dry

etc, etc, etc
