I always get my stuff from these guys. pretty good value and good products. Craft knife/scalpel blades and a shit load of masking tape are also handy, plus acetone to rub the shoes down with first.
My advice is to get hold of a cheap second hand pair of white SS and experiment.
Good luck mate.
thanks sneak.
i think the cheap second pair is a necessity!
Yo Zwer,
Sneaks got the wizdom for the custom jobs - I agree the leather spray paint, airbrush, tons 'o masking tape, acetone to wipe, scalpels, and plenty o' patience for the custom worx...the markers would work, but the 'look' isn't as nice as with paint...kinda what your kids (if you have any) would come up with on their coloring books, but on your 35th's instead!!!
I bought one each of plain ol' all blacks and all whites (like $40 each a few yrs ago) to customize when I got the time...will hopefully get around to the projects sometime this summer - was meant as 'tribute' shoes to my kids - tastefully done of course...will practice on my Nikes used for cutting the lawn!
Check out our local Curry's Art shop or down around Queen/Spadina for supplies if ya interested in DIY - but it sounds like a better deal getting talented colleagues to work em...
