I've been watching your videos for over two months now. Just started my first "custom" and everything you've told me that could happen HAS happened. The pre-paint anxiety was REAL and prepping a shoe is literally every chore you've ever done in life that you never wanted to do. Thank you for the path.

[@alexvazquez123av]

The most important tip was Don’t rush when you’re painting and waiting for them to dry. I customized shoes Yesterday for the first time and used a hair dryer to dry them in 5 minutes and they just peeled off. Just because it looks and feels dry the next layer will just make it wet again and make it peel off. I did them again and waited at least 15 minutes between layers and there was a big difference . The color looked better and It felt more Solid.

[@biazacha]

This also is a problem when you aren't used to the paint/material; learning how it reacts to coats and the time needed to really let it settle down before working on it more avoid so many headaches in the future...

[@durvashibhatt8995]

So should I let the shoes get dry by itself or use a hair dryer and wait for 15mins?? Cause i have seen almost everyone uses a hairdryer

[@brianlip7290]

it dont matter how you dry it .you have to use acetone to clean the paint and sealer off that was alresdy on the shoe. .. then when your done painting you have to use a finisher to seal the paint

[@mrrj44]

[@chibinecco1981]

The way I've ALWAYS done commission turn around projections is: how long do you think it's gonna take you to do it? Tell your client you can't promise less than triple your projection, but it usually takes about double. So, if you think it's gonna take you one to two weeks, say "I can't promise anything sooner than 4-6 weeks, but it's usually only 2-3." This gives you PLENTY of buffer for if you need to order more paint, start-over from scratch, paint's drying slowly because it's a particularly wet week, whatever else; but means that you'll most frequently be able to give your client the product even sooner than they're hoping/expecting.

[@lightsanddarks3392]

I feel this! Definitely agree with the notion of watching out for taking on too many orders. At one point I was COMPLETELY swamped and so overwhelmed. It's so important to take some time out to create art for yourself, as well. That's the trick to keeping the spark ignited- steer clear of burn out zones!

FolkArt acrylic paint ($1.69ish each) with Golden GAC 900 textile medium (about $10) Angelus Acrylic Finisher (I think $7ish?) And finally Angulus Stain and water repellent ($10ish) ^ these are great on canvas shoes, can be used on leather but invest in the Angelus leather paints for sure!

[@sda1819]

I'm finishing up a pair of customs for my first buyer! Thing is...it took me over a year to do one pair because I'm a perfectionist. And they're not any old custom/basic shoes, they're super detailed with intricate designs and complex art. No stencils, nothing to aid my art, just the purity of the skill in my hand. How do we speed things up and become more efficient?

[@rajammacheriakalath3742]

A good idea is to create a time frame to work on your project. For example, you could work on it for two hours every week, or whatever you want. What I used to do for things like that is I worked on it hours on end one day, then I tell myself I did enough work to last a while then never get back to my project. I also recommend working a couple times a week for shorter amounts of time rather than 1 or 2 amounts a week for more than an hour. It can make you get bored of whatever your working on.Hope this helped :)

I gotta be honest I can’t recommend posca as I’ve just seen far too many people end up with shoes that don’t hold up. You can certainly try to prep as much as possible and hope the finisher may help some but it’s not something I would want to give you advice on. I just think there’s better ways.

Hi Dillon from the UK, great channel - the most concise one on YT :) Conc. painting different materials & additives; how would you do a Rainbow Fade on some AM IVO, the toebox & some of the sides is mesh & the toefront, lace section and paneling is leather. So would be spraying across 2 different materials

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

For something like that I would lay down the base colors using the appropriate mediums such as 2soft on the mesh. Then when doing the actual blend I would just paint the whole thing with the leather paint no additives

I'm looking to paint my own tennis shoes, and a pair of shoes usually lasts me only 6 weeks at most before I've worn through the sole (I play a LOT of tennis). If the life of my shoe is that short, would you still recommend staying away from 'pens' due to their not lasting as long as the angelus paints? Thanks for any advice you can give.

I would say it depends on the design to some degree. For small little linework or doodles than pens might be perfect. If you're covering the entire shoe in anyway I would avoid em
