iDOL Knows Best

[IDOL]

Going as Hulk Hogan for Halloween. Got the tights, shades, win, bandana, boa and everything else. Figured I'd need a pair of flamed up yellow boots. So I shopped E-bay and purchased a pair of Combat Boots from Vietnam. I have a feeling if the guy sees what I've done to them he'll probably be pissed.

We need to see iDOL in full Hogan gear.

Looks really good. Acrylics? Did you prep the leather first at all? I reckon you could go over that with a transparent gloss to give it a bit more kick, but they're great.

I sanded the finish off of the boots to begin with and and washed it up with some laquer thinner. The paint is a brush on type of fabric paint I picked up at a local art store, and it is really flexible which is good considering the boot is all leather. I was thinking the same as you K, I picked up some spray on clear coat that shoulder give them a kick ass shine.

That's cool that you sanded them first. The paint will adhere a lot better. They should last a while. The glossy spray will make them a bit more resilient too.

Yeah, nice.

I picked up some cheap canvas shoes on eBay last night for my nurave outfit. I'll let you know how the painting goes >_<

Good work there Idol. Need to see the full gear on you, but I bet it looks perfect.

What happens if I dress up as Ultimate Warrior, or Randy Savage it will be like a Wrestlemania re-match.
