Can you use Angelus to paint satin shoes ?

It didn't work? I would say if you do it then hit it with a hair dryer or heat gun but it might get a little chippy on the fabric...

I havent tried it yet but asked Angela at Angelus Paint and she said that they were not designed for that. Although I think if I treat the satin shoes 1st with a layer of finisher it may help the bonding process and hopefully the will be less spread from the paint. I'll let you know how I get on, it's worth a try

It worked wasnt that easy to work on but I got there. Tip give it a coat of white 1st, much easier to paint on afterwards.Image

Not bad man...I think your design and lines could do with a little work but dont get me wrong big props for trying something different. I wonder how theyll hold up to being worn...one way to find out I guess..strap 'em on there and let us know :),just kiddin'

Lines are super difficult on this fabric because its so thirsty and soaks up so much paint but this is a nice job I think you have done a decent job on being able to complete them to this level.

The lines on this were super hard, its a whole different board game than painting leather. I had to cut back in so many time just to get this level. The customer is happy thats the main thing and because they were for a wedding I doubled the price I get for the trainers and she was more than happy to pay it. :) Fingerz crossed they dont start cracking
