No I used a vinyl dye that stick like nothing else to vinyl. It bonded to the rubber but I have been told it cracked because it could not penetrate the rubber deep enough.

His soles have been removed and chopped up to make new masters for the new clears I am making. A change in my roster at work has caused a delay on this project until Thursday now. I hope to get at least the first pours done on the weekend.
His new soles will be clear UV stable rubber.

First of all, cover well your shoes with 3m blue tape so the paint won't be drunk by the tape.I just want the fresh look as my midsoles have yellowed

Remove very gently the old gray paint with acetone to have a clean base.
Apply a first layer of Angelus leather dye (i'd recommend you to mix black and white dye) so at least if the paint cracks you'll see gray paint under it but Angelus paints seem to be strong.
Let it dry for a half a hour at least.
Go for a second layer if the base isn't covered enough, then go for the paint. (1 layer of paint "normally" should be enough.
I tryed it today on some old black Nike TN, made the splatter too with the tropical sun yellow and i wear them to have a test shoes that bend to see how the dye and paint react when worn.

When i log from AU with a vpn i manage to buy in the Angelus's store
In France it's more than a pain in the ass to get angelus stuff only one reseller with average prices

ADUBZ you've got some masking up to do first
I am still going to use rubber on my pairs because I know that works, won't fade, crack or peel.
So the current sets are US13.
The new sets under development are US8 and US9.5.
I am hoping that the US8 and US8.5 use the same size outersole just like US12 and US13 appear to do. I am hoping that the US10 and 11 also use the same part.
The US9.5 seems to be a size of its own.

Too bad you had too much splatter at the end
This is the technique i'm going for my black mags (with less paint on the toothbrush to have a smooth result) it makes me able to have more control on the density of the splatter and look really close to SA shoes plus it's cheap and easy to remove !

For the paint i made researches ending with that the best technique to get a result that is not too matte, not too glossy is this one :

I'm not sure as a wearing pair it will last forever but at least it is easy to redo and more affordable than technique you use 100 products for just painting.
This isn't a finished sole, I was just trying this technique. You can do more or less splatter.

I think I'll be doing the toe slim as I prefer the look of it better

I bought some Angelus to paint my hc's but haven't started yet. I'm glad I waited because now I can use it on my v2's instead. But I didn't think you had you dye the soles before you painted them? I didn't see on the site or the tutorials I watched. I did see some people mix and use their paint and dye to tint clear soles.
I honestly don't know that I'd wear a pair that had been painted since it will eventually crack and wear off. I do not plan to wear the shoes that I am working on, they will be for display only. I'm hoping maybe cavx or somebody will make a midsole that has the proper color mixed into the rubber so cracking won't be an issue.
