New Tutorial

Posted by chucktowncustoms on September 30, 2011 at 8:50 AM

We are going to start bringing back the tutorials. Two videos are already done. This first one is showing how to prep a sneaker for painting. Its taking you back to basics because if this part of the process is not right then the next few steps will not even matter. If the sneaker is not prepped correctly the paint will not stick or bond to the leather. It will just end up cracking and the sneaker becomes unwearable. Now with that said..how often does this happen? Never...if you know how to prep correctly. Do not forget your essentials: Acetone, cotton balls (alot), a glass bowl to hold acetone drenched cotton balls, and most important patience. You will know when a sneaker is prepped when the gloss feel is gone and it feels like suede to the touch. I hear starting with a black sneaker is easier because you can see when its prepped. It gets a white overtone to it. A white sneaker will turn grey. Any questions feel free to hit me up. We will be redoing the tutorial videos too.
