magma boots

I used the Meltonian paint for my Skytrooper boots. I lightly sanded the boots first, then soaked them well in rubbing alcohol. That all took off the sheen and made the leather more permeable. Then I sprayed the paint on the boots and have had no problem yet.

Slightly off topic, but a thought I just had. Has anyone tried painting their magma boots using latex house paint?

I have finally got around to finish this build, and had another look at the boots. I got hold of a leather paint from the brand Meltonian called "620 Scarlet". A thin layer of that completely changed the tone of the leather to something much better. It's as good as perfect match to the elastic on the boots, and much closer to the red ATA kit.

Unpainted and painted of course

 

Edit: Picture with ATA plastic. It's as close enough for me

Looks awesome. Glad the boot color was able to get corrected.

That's a huge improvement. Nice job.
