Alright, just picked up a shity pair of ski boots for $30. I have nothing to lose here, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

First off, my idea for painting, was to spray-paint one boot green, and one boot orange. After, use a stencil I created ("TP" my initials), using the oppoisite colour, (green on orange, orange on green), and put that design on randomly. Only problem with that it I could only give the stencil one coat if I'm doing  it randomly.

Anyways, I have some quiestions

Is this idea even possible?

What type of spray paint should I use?

Has anyone ever tried this before?

Thanks,
