Thanks for the sand paper tip! First I washed the weird factory glaze off the crocs with dish soap, sanded, then coated the paintable area with 1shot clear vinyl primer. Then painted with 1shot enamel paint. So far so good, the paint adhered well and no flaking.

Try using Mr. Super clear matt spray as a primer and as a sealant or if you prefer use semigloss mr. Superclear as the sealer. Since crocs are resin based this should widen your pigment options. Mr. Super clear is renowned for its use on resins especially ball jointed dolls, and provides a remarkable tooth for color to stick to and using multiple layers of spray will make it very durable.

@@echoplexic the design is still on there, the only part that rubbed of slightly was on the edge of the toe box near the big toe. Other then that it’s all there. For reference my design was only on the top par of the crocs where the holes for the jibizts are. I would recommend cleaning your crocs and getting rid of any dirt on them first. Second I will say that the sharpie tend to clog up often while drawing on the crocs , so this does require some patience. To solve the issue of the sharpie clogging up I had a piece of paper near by wear I would scribble on to unclog the sharpie. Lastly I wear the crocs I customize for light use, I wouldn’t really recommend customizing the crocs with sharpies if you intend to use the crocs daily as they might get dirty and cleaning them might wear off the design. I have cleaned my crocs since I customized them but only around the design not on top of it. Maybe using a top coat would eliminate this issue, I don’t know of a top coat that would be best for this? Maybe a topcoat was recommended in the video I don’t remember as I watched it so long ago.
