Just wondering if anyone has painted their boots, and if so, what type of paint worked well on the plastic?
I'm not doing anything dramatic color wise, just wanting refresh some lightly worn but aesthetically outdated boots...

Advice would be to not paint on the parts of the boot that come in contact with the bike, not so much that it chipped off but it rubs paint all over the frame and plastic even after 5 coats of clear coat
Avoid painting pivot areas it will crack. Stay off of rubber and pliable materials used like the fake leather. Acrylic paint works best on plastic and clear coat it with a "clear matte" finish probably about 5 times
