you should put the types of supplies you use in the description.

@faderwhore19 better yet, it's in the video itself.

What should I use to change the over all color?

[acrylicana]

@Josewazheretoday ? What do you mean? To paint your shoes overall? The textile paint of your choice, of course. Or use coloured shoes.

[acrylicana]

@Josewazheretoday black is a pain in the ass. Setacolora nd Jacquard are your best textile paints -- both have opaque lines (which will show up on black). Getting a good green is hard, though. You can paint it white and then green, but the more layer you do, the higher the risk of paint cracking (even with textile paints).

Fascinating video, the shoes look amazing. What kind of paints do you use? (Sorry if I'm asking a question that gets asked a lot) <3

@YurpleFish Answered in the video.
