i spray painted my tele boots a couple years ago and the paint stayed on surprisingly well. i used like outdoor plastic patio furniture specific paint. if you lightly sandpaper the boots before you paint them the paint will stay a lot better

hmmm If you took out the liner couldn't you just dunk the whole boot in RIT?

although i guess it could fuck up the little leather piece near the toe

The only part of the boot that will actually take the dye is the tongues.  They are a different type/density of plastic.  I painted the rest of my boots and so far its holding up.  As already said, sanding and layers are key.  Be sure to use primer and a clearcoat too.  And primer.  Primer is important

I have a pair of painted black hot doggers, and they lose a bit of paint every time I ride them :(
I bought them used and they were already painted. Sweet boots though.

i talked to a guy that works at a shop that reps full tilts and he said when you dye the boot it changes the structure of the plastic and can make the book uncomfortable and break idk if that happened to the dyed ones above but just wanted to help +k please

hahaha and my boots have made it into another thread. It's a shame I didn't see this thread before he painted his to give some advice. The RIT dye method worked out really well. Only minor fading around the heels and toes.

Stoping asking for karma, the first 2 threads I've checked you have a bad response then you ask for karma. It'll come with quality posts.

you can easily dye full tilt boots. I did my friends drops kicks like a month ago and turned em purple. The easiest way I've found, out of all my dying batches I've done on various things, is use a clean five gallon bucket when dealing with really big objects...like boots. Just heat a bunch of pots of water....get the right below boiling...pour them all in the bucket...add the dye...mix it...then put the object in and time it so you know how long to do the other one. Message me if you have any questions
