What sort of paint?
Reply 13 years ago on Introduction
what types of paints are there?

Oil, acryllic, latex, watercolors. Probably others as well. I would guess watercolors wouldn't work too well. I see where spray paint is used to test the stencil. Is it also used on the shoes?
Reply 13 years ago on Introduction
yeah but i used paint that is used to paint a room on the shoe
