PERMAFRIED_ Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Maybe this belongs in the artfag or fashionboy section but it specifically concerns technique sooo.... The other night, while in the midst of an adderall frenzy, i took a krylon 18k gold leafing pen to an old pair of velcro onitsuka tigers. They are now beautiful and shiny all over, and i want them to stay this way for eternity. Yeah. Problem is, the surface of this exquisite coat of fancy gold-ness, like, sort of rubs off, leaving a finish that's more graphite-like. Perhaps this was a dumb idea. I am acutely aware of this possibility. HOWEVARRR... Does anybody know of a way that i can apply some kindof clear finish coat to preserve it?? Because it makes me smile. I'm not looking for anything super glossy, nor do i wanna brush on a bunch of shit that's gonna remain gummy or get all crispy crusty n sheeit. Thanks in advance. EDIT: CLARIFICATION: I am not anti-super-glossy. In fact i think it's tasty. It's just not a necessary criterion. TRANSPARENT is necessary.

PERMAFRIED_ Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 how bout applying a clear finish to the shoes? have u tried that dumbass That's exactly my question you fucking illiterate moron. I'm asking for recommendations for a *specific type* of clear finish. LIke, a brand name... or product name... Do you understand yet? Think real hard now; I know it hurts but you can do it.

PERMAFRIED_ Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 alright, i had a feeling i'd get a bunch of non-answers. looks like the yard is still a haven for mildly retarded ghetto children with AIDS and a vocabulary equivalent of that of a direct effect host or something. that and teenage hillbillies with fetal glue sniffing syndrome. sometimes i wonder why i even bother.

ClownPrince Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I've heard that on leather, dye is more effective and appealing. If however they were made by other materials like canvas, fabric paint tends to work most efficiently as it does not to crack or chip. I'd say at this point it's best just to try anything protective, expirement with maybe some varnish or lacquer, sorry I couldn't be of more help, i'd looked into this myself awhile ago and had the same frustrations.

MarkAll Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 http://www.hypebeast.com Everything you need to know about customizing sneakers. Also sneakerfreaker on their site has a good tutorial, although I think your shit out of luck using that pen. That shit will not stick. Theres krylon matte finish people use to protect their shoe. But I dont think thats what your looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stay strong Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I know a way to keep the sneakers that way, in 3 simple steps: 1. Rap the sneakers in aluminium foil. 2. Put the wrapped sneakers in a box made from the same metal they use on the space shuttles. 3. Bury the box in a crevasse in the remote mountain ranges of Nepal, Asia.
