hello friends

I have a pair of red pf flyers in the mail and two bottles of regular white acrylic paint. You can guess what i'm doing. I'm wondering if someone here that's done it can explain the process and/or give me tips on how not to fuck it up.Would I just use a brush and paint layers on them?

Thanks

Don't use acrylic if you're going for mmm style cracking. Find a chalk based house paint and use that instead. Acrylic will just turn into a kind of latex layer of white over it.

This. The paint on the rubber sole will crack, but on the canvas it will rub off.

I used it cause I like the effect. And it was cheap.

how much is chalk based house paint/where can i get it?

>>8031884
It's faded on the back? Is that a result of only doing one layer or what?

>>8031888
Oh, that's just the result of my pant leg rubbing against it.

You could probably get it from any hardware store. Try to get just a small paint can though, the big ones will run you upwards of 30-50usd.
