You have me thinking about getting some white skates to do this with, especially since I have not found a color I like. I was going to just decorate a pair I could live with, since I'm just getting back into skating
Thanks! Sorry for the very late reply! I skated in them a few times at the rink which went great and nothing peeled off. Unfortunately I hurt my foot soon after (not skating related) and haven’t been able to skate since so i don’t have an update on that :(

Hey! I think the gold will come out darker than mine if you painted over black. With enough layers you might be able to get it to a brighter gold but you’d probably have to experiment. It’s the first time I’ve used the leather paints by Angelus but metallic paints tend to be a bit more translucent and need to be built up. And the underlying colour tends to affect how bright the top colour comes out. I think you’ll still get a really cool effect. It just might not be as bright but with enough layers I think it will still look amazing!

awesome job
did you use the same leather paint to paint the lace hooks?
Yeah I did! I don’t know how well it will hold up being on metal but hopefully it does
Such a gorgeous makeover!! Which Riedell skate boot is this?
@Regina Celeste it looks like she used the Riedell 120 boot. I checked out her Instagram page.
That’s amazing! How have they held up?

Do you think painting over a black skate can come out looking that gold?

a couple coats with a flat white will help any color pop
These are gorgeous, you did an excellent job
Could you please share the list of the materials that you used?
@@DanteDidThat tell me more im thinking about painting. Thanks
