Nice! How did you do the stars? Stick on stencils? Cut-out stencil?

[mission_scratch]

@mhudson111 I used a vinyl that sticks well to leather and cut the stencils with my stencil cutter.

MS - you are very talented, great job on all of your shoes. So impressive!!

[mission_scratch]

Thanks @portland appreciate it!

Latest custom - did these for Momma Golf! Love their logo and they gave me creative freedom, so I had a lot of fun with these!

Hey @mission_scratch love your work. I know you've shown mostly golf shoes and painting over white but any suggestions on how to change up the royal blue and orange on these? I'm a UVA grad and want to make the orange a little darker and change the royal swoosh to more navy. 

 

Edit: Guessing I would be better off getting an all-white version and painting that way?

Prep them really well and then paint then with a few lights coats of light gray and then you can change to them to any color.  The orange might Take a few more costs than the blue but once it’s the light grey you’re a all set.

@JRS1939  yes,  used a stencil those those.

Impressive, you did a good job, thank you for sharing. The green Nike shoes in this thread are one of the most beautiful shoes I have ever seen in my life.  I had a similar model a while ago, and I loved them, they weren't that pretty though. Now I had some problems with my feet, and I have to look for the shoes which are the most comfortable. I found out that for some reason tennis shoes are really comfortable. It is like walking on memory foam pillows, the insoles are made of a similar material, I love it!

I know a few members have posted asking questions and some  have sent me messages asking for some advice on customizing.  So I plan to either make a new post with some updated tips and tricks or a YouTube video to post on here.  
 

in the mean time-  my latest custom -  TW 20’ x Galaxy

@mission_scratchyou mentioned applying a clear coat after if you are painting plasticky parts of the shoe. What product do you use for that. Also I know you mix the paint with different products depending on what part you are painting. Is there a particular type of paint you use or does the website you get yours from just offer one type of paint and then you add stuff to it depending on what your painting?

Superb talent man.

If it’s a plastic part that flexes you’ll want to avoid painting that area.  Because after while it will crack, no matter how well you prep it unfortunately.  (I’m still looking for a way to work around this and testing new processes that will last. )
 

If painting on a plastic / hard Rubber area that does not bend or flex,  you would mix “2-Hard” to your paint at a 1 to 1 ratio.  So if using 1 oz of paint add 1 oz of 2-Hard. ( this is so much easier to paint if using an airbrush).

 

Prior to laying down the paint -  scuff up the area with a 320-400 grit sandpaper then use a 1400-2000 grit to smooth out some of the scuffs and also so it won’t be noticeable after painting.  Then acetone to clean up the area then 1-2 light coats of adhesion promoter.

Angelus is great. They have everything on their website. Not sure if that's what mission_scratch uses, but it's widely used for custom shoes.

He's not joking. He warned me that the TP's would probably crack. I prepped as best as I could, but they cracked halfway through the round. I go back and touch them up occasionally, but they always eventually crack. It's not a huge deal, the shoes still look amazing, but it's something to keep in mind.

 

Adding 2-hard with a paintbrush is a giant pain-in-the-rear. At least for me. I almost bought a hobby airbrush kit specifically so I wouldn't have to deal with it. LOL

Getting an airbrush was a game changer for me! 
this is a solid one and with an air pump from Harbor Freights is the inexpensive way to go!

Mad skills. Simplest ones are the best, but your edging is nicely crisp on all of them. Shirley a spot in Sneaker Freaker beckons? 😃
