TommyV311 Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I've been doing some research and can't seem to find a boot supplier I'd be satisfied with based on feedback and reviews from other troopers. So my solution in this dilemma is to buy a pair of Chelsea boots and dye them myself. My questions to you is would you recommend taking this route to those new in this hobby and haven't done anything similar, is it cost effective vs buying from Imperial Boots or other suppliers, and is it worth it in the long run?

Rat[TK] Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I can only say it is more expensive in the long run because of repainting, but is actually totally screen accurate.Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REAPERofDAISYS[TK] Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I went with Angelus acrylic leather paint. Took about 10 coats since I didn’t have a sprayer.But end result was satisfactory.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTCost74[501st] Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 This is the route that I am going. Picked up a pair of black Jodphurs for $40, now I just need to prep and paint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger[IPM] Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Just make sure to use acetone or something to take the sheen off the boots first if you don’t want them to peel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
