Do you have a pair of old boots you never wear, but would if you updated their look? This is the perfect DIY for you. It’s as simple as using spray paint and tape.
Items you need for DIY spray paint boots:
1) duct tape
2) painters tape
3) fabric marker (Stained by Sharpie in black)
4) spray paint (Rust-Oleum in flat black, this kind bonds to plastic)
5) newspaper or cover
Step by Step How To:
- Pick an area with good ventilation, cover ground (or where ever you are working) with newspaper or an old sheet
- Assemble your supplies along with a damp and dry rag
- Clean boots with rags to make sure there is no dirt or dust in the way of the paint bonding to them
- Tape off areas of the boots you do not want to paint (I used painters tape to cover the buckle and zipper slider. For the soles of the boots and the actual zipper, I used the duct tape because it stayed in place better.)
- Spray paint the boots (Follow the directions on the back. Spray evenly to ensure no drip marks.)
- After boots are dried remove tape and color in the zipper fabric with paint pen
I used a spray paint that bonds to plastic because my boots are made of synthetic materials. If you don’t have any type of detailing on your boots, you won’t need a fabric marker.
