Nice work Paul :-)

Paul, I'm looking for some of the paint here to paint my sons new boots I ordered, since the UK3 has grown to small in the last few months. The Angelus over here comes in 29,5ml and 118ml. How much did you use to get yours done good? I'm pretty certain I need to get the 118ml one, but I might need 2 or more. Hoping you can give me a tip on the amount required for a UK4.

 

Also, I should be wiping down with acetone prior to painting right, to strip the finish, drying then painting with angelus, like some of the other people have done?

 

Thanks, Derrek

I bought the 118ml bottle and I have enough left to paint my other two pairs of boots easily. All I did was wipe the boots with a clean cloth to remove any dust and painted them. I don't think it is necessary to remove the glaze on the boots and I have never done that with any of the boots I have painted over the years.

Paul, thanks! Just a paintbrush and away we go type of thing, your boots look so smooth, almost like a airbrush?

[troopermaster]

That's right. I used a brush to apply the paint but it can also be airbrushed according to the instructions on the bottle.

They look awesome painted, Paul. Now wear them so it all rubs and chips off again!

Excellent. I took the plunge and ordered the bottle of dye.
