tommarker Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 I can speak from personal experience that spray paint is a BAD idea! I spray painted a pair of white footgear in neon yellow. They looked cool, but they were very, very, VERY sticky. They looked like those "peeps" marshmallow candies you get at Easter. Eventually, I had to realize that they were completely ruined. But when my feet moved, the judges couldn't help but see the points being made I'm no longer posting here. Adios.
King of Fighters Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Maybe if you ask really nicely he will let you wear it. Either that or just wear it to class, and when he sees how awesome you look he'll make everyone buy them.
alanseijas Posted September 19, 2003 Author Posted September 19, 2003 cant you bleach it? You mean soak it in bleach? I don't know. Wouldn't that smeel pretty bad. Sweat + bleach? The patch or crest worn by Isshinryu karateka often raises admiration and curiosity. The patch is based on a day dream Tatsuo Shimabuku had in the fifties while he was creating his karate style. This dream was the missing piece in the puzzle called Isshinryu. The patch is often incorrectly called Mizu Gami, which means 'water goddess'. Originally the Isshinryu emblem was called 'Isshinryu No Megami', which means 'Goddess of Isshinryu'. The goddess is the Goddess of Isshinryu karate and not the goddess of water.
alanseijas Posted September 19, 2003 Author Posted September 19, 2003 Thanks. I figured spray paint was a bad idea....... I havent done anything yet. Been sick, and haven't been to class anyway. Please keep the ideas coming, though. I think I'll try the acryllic paint like previously suggested. I'll try it on a small part first.

SaiFightsMS Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Bleach will do nothing to change the color. It will disenfect it. And if the bleach solution is too strong or incontact with the equipment too long it will cause the latex to break down.
