Air Jordan 3 Fire Red Restoration

[JayWhatJayDass]

thank you so much man! i was just trying to clean my fire reds and they were my first pair of jordans, so they really mean alot to me and i wanted to fix em up a bit, great help!

[vOholla]

how do you take the yellow off the back of the tabs? thanks

[prettythug62494]

@vOholla A solution called Retrobrite will remove yellowing. You can buy bottles at restoremysneakers com

[Gino6123]

@vOholla i painted over mine with angulus shoe paint and used some duller.so it wont be so shiny

[XXWarHero123]

@prettythug62494 wat do i clean the leather upper with for my flip 3s , soap and water or no ?

[prettythug62494]

@XXWarHero123 well the upper on the flips is a suede/nubuck. I would suggest that you use suede/nubuck cleaner on it or just brush it and that alone will remove quite a bit of excess dirt. A suede eraser can remove heavy marks as well. Hope this helps.

[prettythug62494]

@d0peBEAST lol.Thanks. Yeah I never payed that any attention. The shoes are not finished so I am going to correct it.

[prettythug62494]

@natebeetsbaby You would have to either paint it or resort to chemicals like the secret sauce...Something that removes yellowing.

[AndyIDGAFxp]

I need to repaint my DTRT 3s, which paint color way would be the closest to that yellow mid sole color?

[egomez333]

what's the RIT method?

[prettythug62494]

@egomez333 It is a laundry whitener. This product is used to whinten shoes instead. I have a video tutorial on it up. Search for "How to Whiten Shoes TUTORIAL prettythug62494"

[prettythug62494]

@ivanocampo1995 NICE! How is it coming along? I just finished these up so the vid will come soon!

[marshmelo2424]

did you use any duller on the midsoles?

[prettythug62494]

@marshmelo2424 Nope. Not yet at least.....

[SCODTTY]

i got a question for u , wat angelus paint do u think would match they grey sides on cool greys 3s

[prettythug62494]

@SCODTTY I would cop the regular grey along with some white paint.

[MitchxMan003]

how did you remove the paint?

[prettythug62494]

@MitchxMan003 I used a nail file. You can also use acetone or nail polish remover...

[Machoochai]

Sheeeeeit, This is a legit ass video! Hahah, thanks man! Its about time I restore my 3's

[prettythug62494]

@Machoochai lol. Thanks. Be sure to check out part 2!

[tlawrence117]

Ayo fam we talked before and u prob remember I told u bout my business but anyway I been working on matching the true blue color but I can't get it close enough to where I'm comfortable with it,the main color I started wit was sapphire have u messed wit get a tb paint yet???get at me asap

[IMakeCashHere]

Im thinking about repainting my dtrt 3's cause the yellow on it completely came off.. Dont ask me how, i bought em like that for $20 haha.. But i wanted to know if there is a certain type of yellow to match the original color?

[prettythug62494]

@sneakerrestorations Nice! Stay tuned to see how mine turn out!

[gottahavekix]

After/when you repaint do you know how to/what to use to make the paint on the midsole a bit more glossy? I repainted the white part of my CG3s and Military 4s and they lost that shiny reflective look.

[prettythug62494]

@gottahavekix Acrylic leather paint finisher. I said this today in part 2.

[thegame867j]

good pick up , good luck trying to restore them bro

[prettythug62494]

@thegame867j thanks. I'm working on them now :D

[GRAND412]

Actually the fire red angelus paint is a tint brighter than the jordan brand fire red midsoles....trust me, I did a fire red 3 restoration a long time ago....buy both fire red and red and mix them a lil...more fire red than red though

[prettythug62494]

@GRAND412 I thinkits the PERFECT match because its honestly better than what you would get hand mixing paints. A tint darker but not really noticeable unless directly in your palms. Thanks for the comment!

[d2c8]

please keep us up to date with this restoration! i was planing to restore my fre red 3s as well

[prettythug62494]

@d2c8 Nice. I plan to.

[UtubeDominator03]

nice video, is that small bottle 1 oz or 4oz becasue i just ordered 1 oz of the white paint and im a little scared that it wont cover the whole shoe

[prettythug62494]

@UtubeDominator03 I have the 1 oz. in fire red. The large bottle of paint in white beside it is the 4 0z. bottle. Trust me! Its enough unless you paint, wipe off, and paint again.

[UtubeDominator03]

@prettythug62494 thanks alot

[ecko90044]

@prettythug62494 Do you know what color of grey should I buy for my cool grey 3's? Theres a couple on the website and I cant decide which one is for me. Can you help me out?
