    Advice on painting CTVT sneakers?

    Does anyone have any advice for painting CTVT sneakers?

    They didn't have them in yellow, so I scored a pair of white ones, hoping I could paint them.

    I want to make them into the ones that Bruce Lee wore in Game of Death.

    Any help?

    Permanent marker works well. Do they come in yellow?

        Yeah, they come in yellow, but which brand to use?

        Sharpie, Prismacolor, ordinary highlighter?

          since they can vary chemically try on the sole to see which is the least tacky when "dry".
          some inks to not do total dry on vinyl to the reactive nature of the plastic.

          I had some success with BIC ink, but that was black

              Wonder if they would take dye.

                Any permanent marker will do, it worked with me.

                    Hmmmm....

                    They're a soft, porous plastic so markers will work. I used Sharpies on a few. (Give 'em 24 hours to dry though.... just to be sure.)
