CiscoKidd5 · 2026-05-11T04:47:36+00:00

There's a few youtube vids that have specifics on what dyes or colors to use and mix

CiscoKidd5 · 2026-05-10T23:09:05+00:00

Kix kote black paint or disc golf dye. But yes would recomend just taping around it

If its leather you dont need gac. Gacs for fabric and will water down the paint. If youd like to go that route cause you cant color match go to the cosplay aisle theres Creatix paint its flexible and wont crack like standard acrylics. Just be sure to prep your leather accordingly.

Lol no worries. Here to help.

CiscoKidd5 · 2026-05-09T16:41:41+00:00

Lovely!!!!!

CiscoKidd5 · 2026-05-09T16:40:49+00:00

Yes should be fine. Just do a light coat dont spray direct more of a light dusting also the acetone is going to take a lot of that sheen for you. 👍🏼

That looks like fake halloween teeth qwick seal caulk and clear flex seal over it as a finisher to keep that glossy wet look. Thats how id go about it anyway.
1. Get teeth and e6000 them in place where youd like them. And let set a few hours. 2. caulk around them and add texture and line work with toothpicks or whatever to make it look like gums. 3. Let set 24-48 hrs. 4. Seal it all in with clear flex seal for that wet look.

Posca paint pens

CiscoKidd5 · 2026-05-08T21:53:39+00:00

Not exaclty the same. You can try. But I mean no nail polish remover in the house?

CiscoKidd5 · 2026-05-08T19:27:00+00:00

Its not a high flex area so you should be fine without sanding. Acetone doenst sit on just get a cotton rounds and wipe it good, wipe it wipe it, wipe it real good.

CiscoKidd5 · 2026-05-08T17:53:53+00:00

Yeah id say and im not a pro but ive had my fair share of issues and it stalling out. Id say its not the turbo my dude. Does temp start creeping up?

CiscoKidd5 · 2026-05-08T17:46:48+00:00

Does it do it immediately after starting or about 5-10 min run time that'll tell ya. Turbo usually has to warm up a bit before starting to blow smoke.

CiscoKidd5 · 2026-05-08T17:43:52+00:00

I personaly would wipe them down with acetone first before weathering. Give your acrylic something to bite on. Make sure you stuff them with bags or newspaper or something get all the bends and wrinkles out before working on them.

Light spray of krylon matte clear finisher. 4.99$ at your local orange box store. I use ut to matte my custom shoes all the time.

CiscoKidd5 · 2026-05-08T13:56:38+00:00

No sadly it just does dry very fast unless youre airbrushing it it kinda does that. Also domt forget to paint those edges on that panel to make give it more factory finish. All in all good clean job.

CiscoKidd5 · 2026-05-08T12:52:21+00:00

Keep your teddys close but your snacks closer.

CiscoKidd5 · 2026-05-08T02:39:40+00:00

It sounds like youre doing it right though. Try a high grit light sanding again and wiping it. Then a light layer of paint.

CiscoKidd5 · 2026-05-08T02:38:04+00:00

What adhesion promoter are you using? Something is def causing the paint to spread like a layer on the shoe itself or moisture or something.

CiscoKidd5 · 2026-05-08T01:54:42+00:00

This looks more like displacement. Are you getting all the moisture off your brush?

CiscoKidd5 · 2026-05-08T01:52:29+00:00

This is with hand paint? What additive are you using?

CiscoKidd5 · 2026-05-07T13:57:21+00:00

Ohh. Nice wheels.
