Yo I'm currently doing a restoration on my military blue 4s midsole and I noticed that the angelus white is way whiter than my shoe. Is there anyway i can make it all the same color OTHER than repainting the whole upper ? (either whitening the upper or making the paint more neutral) Also what paint finisher do you guys recommend other than angelus finisher? I heard some good things about Krylon matte finish but is there something like it but in liquid form? thanks

Has anyone used the sandpaper method for prepping a shoe for repainting? I'm thinking about it and tired of acetone. Thoughts on that method?

Bad idea.. sandpaper will be too abrasive and shred the midsole, then the repaint will not look good. I use a file to scrape off the paint, but you have to be carefull with that too because its not hard to damage the midsoles. And i dont like using acetone, its too messy and doesnt get the midsoles clean

In my search, I've heard and seen that grit 1000 sandpaper can be used without being abrasive. You are aware that there are different grades of sandpaper, right? I would not have used a file to scrape off paint from a shoe, it's too abrasive. I'll double check to make sure.

^ The midsole paint should be regular white. Just the leather is off-white.

You may want to try flat white paint for the midsoles if the regular white is too bright for your liking. Or mix duller with the paint.

What's the best way to go about fixing something like this? Paint over it using Angelus?
