How to Custom Paint Air Force 1's Tutorial
Hey cuties, in today's video, I explain step by step how I custom paint shoes. In this case, I'm about to customize Nike Air Force 1's (AF1). This tutorial is pretty in-depth but it should be easily digestible. Because they're leather, these steps are a little different than if you paint on a shoe like Vans (which usually consist of canvas material. Either way, a lot of the steps are the same but the preparation is a little different.
As you can see, it's a pretty basic design with color blocking. This shoe still took around 5 or 6 hours total so make sure you are patient with the process to get the best results.
I hope you enjoyed the video! Leave a comment down below if you have any suggestions of content or how to make videos...new to this so open to learning!

hi! can i use any acrylic paint? can i use apple barrel acrylic? does modge podge work as a finisher? can i use regular nail polish remover as acitone?

@RandellKanemaru 3 года назад

Hello! Yea you can use any acrylic including apple barrel. Just make sure you prep the surface correctly. And I probably wouldn't use mod podge but I know they have a bunch of different kinds so you may be able to use that brand, if you find the right one. And as someone who has never painted their nails before, I'm not sure what the ingredients are in there but if it's acetone, that should work as well. To be honest I feel like buying acetone might be cheaper than nail polish remover but then again, don't know much about nails. Hope this helps!

The finisher being too shiny is subjective, but for me personally I like the matte finisher too. If you were to go over with a matte finisher it should dull it a little bit. Thanks for the support!

You can always start out with some duller mixed in. If it’s too dull you can use some matte finish without the duller to make it shinier

It's not necessary, but duller makes the paint "less shiny"? More matte I guess? The best way to describe it is that it "full" the color of the paint lol but it depends on what kind of look you're going for! Most colors on shoes are of the "dull" variety

Hi thank you so you showed us how to do leather and I love it can you show us how to do canvas? Is it a different type of acrylic paint and also a sealer type would you recommend?

@RandellKanemaru Год назад

Hi! I don't paint shoes too often anymore so I can't show you, but if you're talking about canvas like vans, you need to use a thinner for acrylic paint and make it more watery. You don't need to do as many layers for this, as a couple coats should be good (you won't get as many streak marks with canvas shoes). I hope this helps!

How to clean your brush in detail in between colors? Pleasee

@RandellKanemaru 3 года назад

Sorry for the late reply - In short, I would dip the brush in a cup of water and stroke the bottom of the glass like I'm painting it. Then would take it out and dry it with a paper towel by folding it over the brush (if it's a flat head brush). If there's no color in the water, I feel like it's clean enough to use another color. If there's some runny color on the towel, I would repeat the process.

so the finisher does act as a waterproof? and would you acetone the bottom non-leather the "---AIR----" if you were to paint it ?

Somewhat...I would say it's more water resistant than water proof. I wouldn't abuse it with weather to make them last as long as possible. As for the AIR logo, I wouldn't recommend painting the midsole as it doesn't last as well but if you do I would use acetone to clean it off.

Hey Randell , what type of brushes were you using in this video ? If you don't use the same ones now, What do you use now? Im trying to find good brushes, What's the best type of brush to use that does its job well.

@RandellKanemaru 3 года назад

To be honest I'm not that paint brush savvy, but I do believe better brushes are a better investment if you're going to use them often. But it comes down to how well you take care of them (cleaning then after every use, positioning the brushes, etc.). With that said, I'm pretty sure I just bought a variety pack from Angelus and a couple fine point brushes from there as well and they do the job well for me!

Would I use angelus leather preparer and deglazer instead of acetone?

You can use either

Hi i have a colored airforce ones. And i want to paint them. Should and how can i take off the original color(violet)? Or i can just paint them over?

@RandellKanemaru 2 года назад

You can't really completely take off the old color. Best option would probably be to use acetone to take as much of the factory finish off and then paint over them

@myaglynn2128 Год назад

do you apply finisher over the whole shoe or just the painted parts?

@RandellKanemaru Год назад

It depends. If you used acetone on the whole shoe, then apply the finisher on the whole shoe as you took the factory coating off the whole shoe. If you only did it on the painted parts, you only "need" to put it on the painting parts. Hope this helps!

Hello, I did some of my own and I followed this tutorial and unfortunately the paint has cracked around the crease on the side. Do you have any tips on how I can fix this please? :)

@RandellKanemaru 3 года назад

Unfortunately I don't 😞 I can look some up and see if they work! I've been really busy with work so I haven't been able to do any of this for a while

@kenr.883 2 года назад

I saw one video from one of the artist on the Angelus RU-vid page, he said to use sand paper for the areas that creases when doing your prep work, and this will help with the adhesion of the paint to the leather.

In your experience, how well does paint hold on the soles? I wanna paint some all white Court Visions but idk if the paint will stick to rubber. Thanks!

How do you prevent paint streaks?

You have to do multiple coats. It's a little tedious but it's 100% worth it!

Hope you can help. The nike swoosh logo on my airforce one is like a suede or felt material. What kind of paint do I use for it if I wanted to change its color from red to white?

@RandellKanemaru Год назад

Oof I’m not sure about suede. I’ve never painted suede and I don’t know if that’s actually good because suede is a very delicate material. Water alone ruins suede so I personally would recommend painting at all. I don’t even know how you should alter paint if you still want to do it I’m sorry :(

Which paint should I use to customize nike mid blazer ‘77?

@RandellKanemaru 2 года назад

If they're leather you can use the same that I use! The Angelus leather paint. For something softer, you can still use them but you need to thin it a lil bit. Hope that helps!
