Re: "A marker pen, and some sticky back plastic" - Customizing Your Boots II

thanks im glad i took a risk haha

Re: "A marker pen, and some sticky back plastic" - Customizing Your Boots II

Damn they are amazing!

Re: "A marker pen, and some sticky back plastic" - Customizing Your Boots II

Really nicely done. Are you going to wear them for games? i would expect the gold to peel off though.

Re: "A marker pen, and some sticky back plastic" - Customizing Your Boots II

i doubt it because they dont fit too well anymore. but i kicked around once and it wore off a little but i took the sharpie to it again. but i like how the gold goes with the black. i also customed my k leather black V.106 but they dont look as nice

Re: "A marker pen, and some sticky back plastic" - Customizing Your Boots II

look lush!

Re: "A marker pen, and some sticky back plastic" - Customizing Your Boots II

What do you guys reccomend to make my obsidian vapor III's pure black? And is there anything I can put over the paint to protect it from smudging?

Re: "A marker pen, and some sticky back plastic" - Customizing Your Boots II

i plan on getting the super ligeras in white and taking off the blue nike swoosh (its stitched on) hopefully ill be able to show those in a few weeks

Re: "A marker pen, and some sticky back plastic" - Customizing Your Boots II

yeah that puzzled me too as i wanted to black out my vapor IV's i really dont want a smudge so idk about customizing non leather materials good luck if you pull it off.

Re: "A marker pen, and some sticky back plastic" - Customizing Your Boots II

Heres something I tried..
First I went over the gold in permanent marker but it look to shiny and 'purpley' So I went over th permanent marker with a whiteboard marker and sprayed with anti-perspirant deodrant because someone told me ages ago to, because it makes it absorb it all or some thing :S .. But the whiteboard marker doesnt wipe off now soo..
And I did the sole aswell even though I know its going to come off

Re: "A marker pen, and some sticky back plastic" - Customizing Your Boots II

k isee them. l ike the swoosh. its kinda weird that the balck pen is a different shad eof the shoe black but nice job.

Re: "A marker pen, and some sticky back plastic" - Customizing Your Boots II

I just bought some bright pink neon laces for my SL's

I'll show pics when I get them...


Oh yeah, this w***** trod on my foot for no reason in the game and his studs were the sharpest buggers I've seen on any boot, he put a F****** hole in the upper!
It's only small but still, it will get bigger and I'll have to say good bye to them...
Or i'll put them on my shelf to prove I had them.

WTF somebody studded you and your Carbon Fibre 'very tough' boots just got a hole in them? Damn they might be poor quality but I can't wait to see pics.

Re: "A marker pen, and some sticky back plastic" - Customizing Your Boots II

not all the way and its tiny...
It's the plastic that got a tiny hole in and the carbon fibre has just started to fray out of the top...

Re: "A marker pen, and some sticky back plastic" - Customizing Your Boots II

Oh right so it isn't the actual CF, just the outer plastic layer.

Re: "A marker pen, and some sticky back plastic" - Customizing Your Boots II

How do you customize the colors on the vapors i have the pine green vapor ivs and tbh i hate the color. I removed the lace cover tho. Is there anyway i can white out the boot and maybe change the swoosh to a specific color? if i can which kind of paint can i use.

Re: "A marker pen, and some sticky back plastic" - Customizing Your Boots II

No offence dude, but if you hated the colour in the first place you had a few more to choose from...

Re: "A marker pen, and some sticky back plastic" - Customizing Your Boots II

yeah but i got them for 100 dollars so it was one of those cant refuse type of things.

Re: "A marker pen, and some sticky back plastic" - Customizing Your Boots II

Fair do's.

Problem with Vapors is they are synthetic so finding a paint that sticks is difficult. I don't know what to suggest in all honesty.
