Cavx is right, unfortunately the first moment you walk with them the grey of the shoes will start to crack. I think I'm going to get a silver K-mags pair and do the sole & heel cup painting only so I can wear them occasionally.

The tops of the silver K-MAGs are painted. So what about spray paint?
Years ago I needed to add some, lets call it detail, to a item of clothing and I used spray paint out of a can. Once dry, it was machine washable and did not peel, crack or other for the time I had the article. I used a primer paint which comes in black, grey and white.
I think if you wiped the shoes down with acetone before painting, that you will get better adhesion because acetone is what is used to "prime" PVC pipe before gluing.

I don't think any spray paint sold nowadays would be able to withstand not cracking while wearing the shoes, even with the primer.

Tomorrow I will go to a local hardware store that I know still sells the same brand I used. For the price of a can of paint, this is worth some R&D. It will even be worth buying some more vinyl to test that as well.

WOW Caloss, sounds like you are on to a winner. Look forward to the pics and more information about this.
For those wanting to change the colour of their MAGs, I found a spray pack paint made especially for vinyl at an automotive shop today. It is actually made for repainting or changing the colour of vinyl car seats! Hopefully this means that it will not flake or peel or crack under movement. The paint is not cheap for a spray pack. The paint comes in many colours and the two shades of grey listed were all out of stock, so I didn't buy any today. One says "light grey" and the other says "charcoal", which I think might be too dark for this project. I won't know until I actually see it.
On scale of 0~10 (where 0 = black and 10 = white) at what point do you guys think the shoes should be? I am thinking about 6. Thoughts?
I am also getting pairs of professionally cut SWOOSHs done in both left and right for my shoes along with the NIKE FOOTWEAR logos for my BTTF inspired bag. I hope to track down another store with this paint and looking forward to owning a wearable pair of grey MAGs soon.

That looks great! Is that rubber or did you use something like a hard plastic lighting cover?
Whatever it is, your shoes are coming along really nicely. Keep it up.

I'm slightly confused. Are they K-MAGs, Poon shoes or a complete custom job? It looks custom and an awesome job.
By the look of those graphics under the clear soles, he won't be wearing them much, if at all.

I was in a rubber specialist store today getting some foam for my extended collars and didn't see any such item. They had black rubber mats, and the only clear stuff was carpet protectors. Where did you get yours from? Do you have a link to the product in its native form?
