Whitening White Patent Leather Shoes

what kind of spray paint is good for shoes? Post By Raleighgirl75 (Guest Post) (05/20/2008) I have a pair of white leather shoes with scuff marks. I want to cover them with white polish or paint. What is a good brand of spray paint to buy for that? Maybe something that won't rub off easily. Any advice?

Place them in a gallon zip lock bag to prevent the perioxide from drying out. It just might lift the yellowing enough to please you. If not, I'd gently wipe/rinse it off and proceed with whatever other plan you might have. You will likely have good luck using a SPRAY paint on them, after trying to bleach with Creme periozide. I'd stuff the shoe first with newspaper, mask the edges of the soles, and spray outside your home ON top of newspaper away from the house. Krylon from the Dollare General claims to be for plastic and I've had great luck with it. Make sure the plastic is dry before painting, then dry before wearing after painting. Don't over-spray to prevent drips/running. Better to spray very lightly about 14-16" from the shoes the first time, then let it dry and go back over any place that needs it but LIGHTLY. Remember to shake the can well first, before painting, then to turn the can upside downand spray for a second to clear the nozzle for the next use in the future. I'd look for a "glossy" paint, not using a "flat" paint, if you like the patent look. Otherwise, you can use flat paint to make it appear to be colored leather for a new look. Also, if you are artistic, you could add a few ornaments to the shoes if you would like/have them, to give it your personal touch? Good luck and God bless and help you. : ) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Whitening White Patent Leather Shoes Post By (Guest Post) (06/25/2007) White patent leather is just plastic - & it yellows - I don't know if anything can be done, other than somehow painting the shoes - maybe with paint made for plastic?
