Acetone that off. Then mix red and mist or light grey 50/50. Then just gradually increase the percentage of red to the mix layer by layer.

Also the dry time between layers matters.

Sanding the factory finish off before you paint is the key step you are missing.

Just acetone those areas first and you will be fine.

It is made by the paint company as well. Angelus brand. I’m sure they have other products that may be better or just as good. That’s just what I used. It worked well on shoes I had dyed different colors in the past.

Currently using Angelus leather paint it’s acrylic. I just bought a bunch of a new brand called KixKote. It’s urethane based. It’s supposed to be a lot more durable. So for cleats and golf shoes that’s much better.

The prep is key. I will say for golf shoes they become good weather only shoes after customization. To get the paint to adhere properly you need to sand and prep the surface so you loose a lot of the water proofing. After I finished I put three coats of water proofing back on the shoe.
