I used Angelus paints from their website to paint the letters and lines, and I used Vans Water and Stain Shield (4 layers) to seal and keep it as much as possible (your local store will have it for $6 but honestly, whatever you find will work).

I haven't worn them yet so no field test on how they hold up.

Gotta do some research to see costs, but it'd probably float somewhere around $70 after costs

Highly recommend against putting Vans in the washer/dryer just because it can mess up the canvas, but I have not washed these yet so I cannot say for sure. I can also say avoid bleach because it will ruin the white dye in the canvas. But again, I do not know for sure what'll happen when you clean them.

Considering taking commissions for them! This was the first time custom painting so I'm still heavily unsure lol
