From Rerides With Love: Bootblacking

From Rerides With Love: Bootblacking

Here’s a great little project we were working on the other day. The white heels on these Dayton Drivers were painted black to look like Toughies; the poor things were starting to peel right off. Someone attempted to use the time-trusted Sharpie-marker method to patch up the spots, but it didn’t turn out quite as they hoped and left a lot to be desired.

These beauties had to be cleaned, stripped…stripped again…and then lovingly hand-painted with Angelus leather-grade acrylics to restore their former glory. Look how they shine.
