Tiepilot1138[TK] Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 How do you get the elastic on the side of the boot to change from black to white? I've tried both leather dye and white spray paint, and still no luck. It just sucks the color out of it! Quote
Tiepilot1138[TK] Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Posted March 31, 2009 I just realized this should have been in the boots section. If a Mod sees this, please move it to the appropriate section. Thanks Quote
TK 6918[501st] Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Have you tried fabric dye? i think it would work better than leather dye. Worst comes to worst, you could replace the side elastic with white altogether. Quote
SuperTrooper Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 I used watered down acrylic craft paint. Took a few coats but it worked better than anything else I tried. Quote
TK-8224[501st] Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 I replaced it with pieces of the white elastic belt that came with my AP armour. Perfect size! Quote

Here they are after just one coat of fabric paint. The before pic is after 5 coats of white dye, and 2 coats of gloss white spray paint. Are the soles supposed to be white or black for ANH? ------- Edited January 14, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
