TrainWreck Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 So this isn't really intended to be a tutorial. Just sharing what I've done. First I picked up a second hand pare of boots off of Ebay for $30. ...and got some cheap $3 leather paint from Michael's... I then rubbed the boots down with fingernail polish remover (I'm told this is really bad for your boots) and taped off the soles: I then over the course of 24 hours put about 6 coats of the paint on: ...and then removed the tape: So the tape bleed through a bit and then took some of the paint with it so I definitely have some touch up to do but over all am very happy with the end product.

TrainWreck Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Yeah. I have moments when I walk by them and they just look painted. I think a good weathering should take care of that. 😉 Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyBoy Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Yeah. I have moments when I walk by them and they just look painted. I think a good weathering should take care of that. Thanks guys! That's how the originals were done....so your on target. I think your right though, once you wear them and the paint starts to crack and weathering comes into play you will love them.
