Logon Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) Bought a pair of Loake boots 290(i think ) on sorenM's recommendation and i am going to paint them this week. First i scrubbed them down with preparer liquid(some kind of alcohol) and then started painting Enjoy!

SorenM[TK] Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Looking GOOD!:-).... And they are really nice, and ofcourse very screen accurate, boots. How is the fit now? Are you using brush or sponge? I incidentally has just started to put masking tape on another pair ( made by Loake for Herring Shoes, it is the same model as yours:-)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logon Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I am using a sponge brush look att he first picture to see how it looks They fit better but not great yet, if i go trooping i will defenetly need to use a bandaid before going. Why are you making a new pair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you making a new pair? Ha ha...ok yeah I see what you mean now:-)...I am sorry to hear they are not yet great... did you try some of the methods I told you about?:-).... Where exactly is the problem with the fit? Good bandaids which last are Compeed and Tenso..... Just because I can:-), having to pairs seemed like a good idea, and they were given to me free of charge :-). And I am using another type of paint, which is matt...seems to work a little better, and it sticks better to the leather for some reason:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logon Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Is my left little toe only i think my feet are asymetrical because i only have the problem on my left foot, little toe. I used a preparer on mine so my boots where actually pretty matt when istarted painting so that was a plus. Hope ou get a good finish with that paint, i think the "real" boots use blank paint.

SorenM[TK] Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Good idea to use a bandaid the first couple of times.:-) ...or go to the cobbler he can help you expand the left one a little bit....but fear not, you will get great boots that will last forever:-)... I started mixing the two paints, so two layers ( it dries very very quickly) of the "new" stuff and one layer of Angelus...looks pretty good I really do not know which type of paint they used in the movies.....:-)...

SorenM[TK] Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 A word of caution: make sure to use a scalpel all the way around the edges, so you seperate the masking tape and tha painted surface, that will save you from irritation, grief and more work:-).....

SorenM[TK] Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) David...it must have been, I am not sure I could have done that to a pair of brand new Loakes....but they look fantastic, and very authentic. I am 100% sure you will be very satisfied with them, and they will last forever.:-) Edited August 28, 2013 by SorenM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SorenM[TK] Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I just did the math, 2689 $ is my amount, and that is not counting the first undersuit and neckseal I bought (another 120$), but that amount excludes boots (which I had already), but includes an Icomm....
