Your right, They are not on the web site, but they do have them.<br>Its easy to make WHITE into BLACK. But making a BLACK boot WHITE is almost not worth the effort.<br>Paint would just flake off after time. Not to mention would take many coats to cover the black.<br><br>But, these would be PERFECT for the Steth Trooper Armor!<br> <p>TK-118 out"Who is this? Whats your operating number?"</p><i></i>

Holy @#$@#%! These are cheap.<br><br>Unfortunately, if these are so cheap, they are most likely not leather, or are they? Can you dye this dark color to white? I am seriously interested if you have had success dyeing.<br><br>TK808 <p></p><i></i>

Do you mean acetone, a colorless, volatile, extremely flammable liquid ketone, CH3 COCH3, widely used as an organic solvent??<br><br>This is some potent stuff and I fear it might eat away at any adhesive keeping the shoes together, like wear the pieces attach to the sole. <br><br>I am very curious to know if your procedure will yield great results.
