My own preference was using a diluted amount of plasikote… it held up for over a year before I started to notice any signs of wear and considering I washed them every time after I wore them…. That weren’t too bad compared to my efforts with Angelus acrylic paints which cracked up regardless of what I sealed it with….
If you really want to color your rubber midsoles the you need to first thoroughly clean them with acetate, let them dry...then mix up some dylon dye in a big oblong pot boil it, turn off the heat then suspend your shoes into the dye mixture so that only the soles and midsoles are covered and let the dye cool...2 hours later remove and see the results. Dylon works wonders on synthetics and rubber, not so good on natural fibers. I used to buy it in the US and here in France so it is internationally available , it's a powder form in a tiny pot, you mix it with water and salt, I would personally double or triple the dose if you want the rubber dark.....
Excellent video. If I Was to have some customs with painted rubber soles I would not wear them outside. They would be placed in a display for all to see. It's good to see u make another vid..I've been using Kittl for my designs to keep my ideas flowing. So much going on but hopefully I'll be doing something productive soon. The dye will win

@AOD92 thanks so much! What is Kittl? Haven't heard of it before!
You are funny! Nice video
Thanks! 😃 glad you enjoyed it 🤣
Can i instead use mod podge and glitter and a coating? would that stay on the shoe better
@@freddiemarino5367 I mean it might! Give it a try and let us know!
Dye!!
Probably should have tried sealing the dye afterwards. Thanks for testing tho😊
How do you seal the dye ?
@@moeb4051rustoleum matte sealer or mod-podge
@@moeb4051 just brush the coat on it. or the dye never dry? or why do you ask it? like an impossible thing
