RE: The Custom thread.
Gotta give the guy some props for trying (it's not easy the first time!) But I have to say, it's not the kind of job that you should try selling on. These should be kept as a test pair. Guy def needs to work on his technique. Definately looks rushed in places, especially the stripes (you notice the sides of the stripes are still white in places) And yes, the UV paint needs to have been applied better. Problem with UV paint is that it needs to be applied in thin multiple layers, otherwise the UV material within the paint spreads to sparsly.
Bottom line, we all gotta start somewhere, but if it's not perfect, don't try selling it!
I like to move it move it!

RE: The Custom thread.
I can appreciate the hard work that went into them but the style is a bit too weird for me.

RE: The Custom thread.
If the shells been painted then that wouldnt be too good if you were gonna wear em? Right?
I'm an optimist, but I don't think it helps.
