Prep

Items you NEED to keep your customs looking factory

100% Acetone

I use this to strip the factory finish and the first few layers of factory paint. Helps create a better bond between your paint and snekaer base. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP.

Round Cotton Pads

I use these with acetone to remove factory finish, they leave less residue than cotton balls.

Ryobi DS1200 Hand Sander

I use this after a few layers of acetone to make the base sneakers more porous, white creates a stronger bond for the paint.

Dura Gold Sand Paper

Depending on the surface I'm working with I like to use 600 to 1200 grit.

Electric Tape

I use this tape to cover the soles from paint overspray. It has the best grip on the rubber.

Pinstriping Tape

I use this t to cover the edges of the soles. I find it hugs the edge of the sole the best and stops the paint from leaking onto the soles while airbrushing.

Masking Tape

There are roughly a million reasons you'll need this. Trust me.

Masking Tape

Same but wider!

Aluminum Tape

The secret to keeping the sock-liner paint free.


My creative tools

Essential Items to start your art journey

Fine Tip Detail Paint Brushes

These are my favorite detail brushes. They last a long time with maintenance and help immensely for fine line work. Also the price is a steal!

Acrylic Paint Brush Set, 5 Packs / 50 pcs

Best bang for your buck. 50 brushes for $10!

Iwata Eclipse Gravity Feed

Best Airbrush on the market

Iwata-Medea Studio Series Sprint Jet Compressor

A great starter for getting into airbrushing. I used this for about 4-5 years before I stepped up to the big girl.

Iwata-Medea - Power Jet Pro Compressor

My one and only compressor. It's a thing of beauty, runs pretty quietly for how much of a work horse it is. My favorite part is it has dual airbrush ports and holsters.

Cricut Explore Air 2

The only thing I use more than my Cricut is my airbrush. This is a must have for any sneaker artist.

Oracal 651 Gold Craft Vinyl

This is the only vinyl I use with my Cricut machine. I feel that the metallics all have better adhesion but it's probably all in my head lol. Any color of 651 works perfectly fine.

I gave You a tip. want to return the favor?

All the information above is free to you but takes me quite sometime to build the list with the best products for the best prices. Feel Free to buy me a drink if this helped you!
