Shoe FAQ

Hi everybody! Here's some stuff to answer a lot of the questions I get about shoes.


How much?
I'm currently charging $100 (including Chucks) plus shipping, and I usually do PayPal.

What else do I need to give you?
I'll also need your shoe size and what you want painted! If you have reference pictures for me that's a big help.

What kind of stuff will you paint?
I'll give almost anything a shot, BUT...
I'm currently trying to move away from copyrighted stuff, not because I've annoyed anyone but just because it's bad form. If you're a major fan of something I'll see what we can do to keep it INSPIRED BY but not copying the original.
If we've already started talking about a pair, don't worry, I'll still do it. This is from here on out.

Can you paint other kinds of shoes?
Yup! Basically any kind of shoe that's mainly canvas or other fabric. Vans, Chucks, Keds, whatever. I've done heels too.

How well does the paint hold up?
Really well. For the most part, the shoes start to fall apart before the paint does. I use acrylic paints, which are already water-resistant, and add a fabric medium (like this one www.joann.com/joann/catalog/pr… ) that helps the paint soak in and keeps it flexible. A little rain's ok, and you can wipe them down with diluted, soapy water. But don't toss them in the washing machine.


Hope this is helpful. Nobody every RsTFM anyway, but I figured it'd be good to have it all in one place.
