You can put some paint on a paintbrush and flick the brush and try to get little dots on the midsole that way.

possible? yes to a point i would think
it would take a lot of skill and painstaking work
an airbrush is a far, far better option

I haven't done one but i asked the same question a while ago...basically, to swap the sole, you have to cut the stitching, and peel off the sole. Thats almost all there is to it.

Its not something you just go do tho, you have to figure out what works and what doesn't, or at least that's what I was told so that's all I can tell you

Good luck though Cool

Airbrush Question

I have a badger 175 and a airbrush compressor w/o a built in regulator on it.

I was wondering how I can do fadings? 3 or more colors.

I know I have to start w/ the lightest color and work to the darkest. And I know I have to gradually increase the distance while I'm spraying it to create the fades.

Correct me if I'm wrong. And more suggestions and info would be gladly appreciated. thanks.




k another question.


do i need a moisture trap for the compressor?
and what can i use to thin angelus?
accetone? or just plain ol' water?
