Custom Predator Mania's/Samba's

[Becks7]

did this myself, not the most professional job. I didn't intend on it to come out so shiny, but that's what the finishing spray did.

It was my first time painting shoes and it's something i'd do again, maybe not neccessarily boots, but depends on how they wear & tear.

those look pimp...can u do a tutorial thing on how to paint them?? i like that u left the islands white... i think itd look better if u colored the tongue black and that bit of red on the inside...would the paint come off on your socks if u painted the tongue and the inner part?

you should shoe polish the leather to give it a more shiney look to match the spray paint
