The SECRET Behind Painting Cleats Into Dunks!

[@Customsbymlm]

Needed a video on how to paint cleats because I’m doing mine like today… and this just popped up. Not going to turn them into dunks per say but need to learn how to paint them.. thanks 🙏🏻

These are amazing. This process is amazing. How many finishing coats did you use to ensure toughness of the design?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Thank you! I did 2 coats 🤙🏽

hi Dillon I'm a new follower. can I ask if you could do portrait using procreate program. thanks

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Yes you can

[@youngtef8946]

Love your videos. Is it recommended to sand every shoe?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

I do just about every shoe unless they’re fabrics

[@Customsbymlm]

What type of adhesion spray do you use? Guy at Home Depot looking at me like I’m crazy

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

I use bulldog brand, usually not available at Home Depot.. most of the time you can find it auto parts stores

[@Celticstothetop]

Geeeeez!!! 🔥🔥

Amazing how u transform the hell out of those cleats. Great job like always Dillion. Definitely would pay for a class like this in The Bronx. Thanks a bunch 4 the lesson.

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Glad you enjoyed 🤙🏽

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Thank you 🤙🏽

[@lorenzog3842]

Do you use 2 soft on the Nike cleats that have that weird coating over the knitted material?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

I’m only if the knitted part is exposed.. if it’s covered then no.

[@lorenzog3842]

@@DeJesusCustomFootwear I appreciate the response and shared knowledge! I’m actually working on some soccer cleats for my son using the joker theme. Can’t wait to share!

So I've recently started customizing cleats, and prepping the swoosh scares me. I see in this video you airbrushed right over it. Is there any concern about the paint sticking to the original swoosh? I have been taking it off, and adding the swoosh directly on to the cleats. Does the adhesion promoter help the paint stick to whatever material the swoosh is made out of?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Yup I never have any problem with swooshes

[@marcotomasin]

you are really helping me a lot to achieve a dream, thanks master, without your videos our dream (me and my friend) would probably be just a dream, now its turning into reality

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

That’s awesome to hear! Keep cooking 🤙🏽

Hey I’m doing a pair of Adizero football cleats right now, and was wondering if after the adhesion promoter, should I be painting all layers of the cleat from start to finish within the same day, or is it okay just to apply an airbrushed angelus base layer, and do the subsequent layers in the following days? I had some paint slide off the smooth upper heel area (above the plastic) and started wondering if the adhesion promoter acts upon all layers or really just the first? I sanded and acetate/deglazed the heck out of those babies. Thank you!

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Really jus the first layer because then the promoter is completely covered

[@justfrase]

Does the paint come off when using these?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Nope

[@justfrase]

@@DeJesusCustomFootwear amazing thank you, I'll give it a try.. appreciate the shout 💫

Im honestly over painting Nikes. They're a terrible canvas. Having to deal with the amount of stupid layers they use and trying to get a vinyl stencil to lay right on them is such a waste of time. The amount of paint that leaks threw your stencil because of the stupid layers is so frustrating. Stan Smith Adidas, now that's a canvas.

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Probably try to switch up the workflow. Literally never ever happens to me

[@Zachary.Tyler.Murray]

Every vinyl stencil you've ever laid over top of a changing layer depth has never leaked paint? lol. Wow impressive. It has happened to me on basically every pair of Nikes I've done. I cant get a vinyl stencil to take to the edge of a layer. It just pops up between layers, I push it down, stretch the vinyl, heat up the vinyl, and it will still pop back up. @@DeJesusCustomFootwear

[@Zachary.Tyler.Murray]

You literally mention this issue in your Multi-Layer Masterclasss video and your fix is to just use more tape to help hold the edge down. But even in your video you can clearly see even after you used more tape there is still a dark gap between the two layers. I too used more tape to help keep edge down and it often doesn't work as well. Not sure why you wanted to pretend like you've never had this super common issue occur but Im sure it has something to do with your relationship with Nike. @@DeJesusCustomFootwear
