Painting boot soles


FO3Winger

Recommended Posts

Being that I wear size 15 boots my choices of footwear are rather limited... the pair that I have built my boots on have a stupid dual tone rubber sole and I’ve read before on here somebody recommending to another that you can paint it to match. Wheat color if I remember correctly. Do any of y’all have any suggestions or experience with painting soles? Longevity/durability with different types of paint and/or sealer? 

Here’s what I’ve got:

I painted my first pair. I used a cheap paint from Michael's. I just airbrushed it on. I never had a problem with it at all. I didn't use a sealer either. I lightly sanded the soles and cleaned with alcohol before applying the paint. Never had to touch them up as well.

Hey sounds good enough for me, thanks

Ok good people, how’s this for a single color? Please remember I’m colorblind. https://imgur.com/uUfu8NI

Also I’d prefer the cutouts on the boot to be better but it lines up with the cuts already on the boot and I’m pretty much limited to just this and hardly any other boot since I wear a 15US. Hopefully that doesn’t kill it being Lancer. 
 

Any input is appreciated.
