>wall paint

I don't know what to say.
is this the first time you've attempted to paint anything ever?

did you not think about going with a leather or acrylic dye?

If I saw somebody walking around wearing those, I'm going to notice they're painted, poorly, right off the bat. if you can pull off some weird niche DIY artist look, but if you wear normal clothes with those you're going to be some weird kid who put primer on his shoes.

shit you can scratch that right off I bet. it didn't even adhere, you should have at least put some lacquer in there.

>> No.9499419

>>9499401
please don't think i was serious, understand that i had those shoes and i didnt use them so i just took some paint we had and gave it a layer, i knew the result would be like it did but i didn't care, i'd rather just buy som new shoes than dye or w/e, they were a bit messed up from skating in them anyways, atleast the left shoe

you could've saved that by spraying black paint first then coat it with the white one so when it starts cracking it gives those effect more likely inspired by the cracked textured shirt from Balenciaga which I assume you dont know.
