Long story short I have bright orange fks, Salomon ghost 90s (bright orange), and last years line tc's with the orange snowboard binding graphic and it's just way to orange for me. I want to cover up the orange on the boot has any one sticker bombed a boot? Or any one have any other ideas to lessen the orange?

1: Dye your boots (if possible)

2: Sharpie your FKS'

3: Profit

I always thought it would be dope to spray the shells of boots matte black, especially if they are a bright color because then as you beat them up the orange would tastefully show through.

Don't know if this is a good idea but I've always wanted to see it done.

Also you can never go wrong with matte black.

It'll hold up as well as stickers but short of dying them nothing is going to hold up that well.

Probably would depend on the plastic of the boot. I tried dying a pair of raichle flexons about a year ago. It didn't work at all and i think it was because the type of plastic, or because they were old as fuck. Full tilts seem to be made out of a softer more "soluable" plastic which makes it great for dying i believe. I own a pair of spks myself and judging by those it looks like it would work. But i could be wrong. (coming from a guy that has dyed hundreds of lacrosse heads)
