When I was 16 I decided to paint my white vans for fun. I painted two Native American portraits from one of my favorite painters Howard Terpning. These are 15 pairs out of the 30 that I have done in the 3 years that Ive been making custom vans.

What kind of paint is used? Will it wash off fast?

@filterdeath I use high quality acrylic paint so it never washes off or fades! Ive been wearing my pair everyday for six months now and they still look just as good as the first day!
