Speaking as someone who has spray painted a few shoes in her day, I have tips. One, stuff your shoes with newspaper before spraying them so you don't get paint on the inside. Paint inside the shoes will melt and get sticky from your sweaty feet and this is not pleasant. Two, get an old cardboard box (a copier paper box is awesome for this) and put it on its side with the opening facing towards you. Put one shoe in there and spray away. This keeps the paint from flying in unintended directions. Three, if you're starting with a black shoe and want a lighter color, you can get better results by starting with a thin layer of Kilz in white, which will completely cover the black color. Finally, use painters tape to mask off areas if you want to create a design with different colors of paint.
You can sometimes find this queen on a corner, but never cutting corners! Give it up for the incomparable, the astonishing FENAAAAA BARBITAAAAAALLLLL!!!!!
Fena, I once passed a cutie on the street in Hollywood and we later met up via a Craigslist Missed Connections. I wish that had been you. Thanks for another great video.
Can we seal in the work with a clear matte spray so they're semi waterproof? I'd hate to do all that just for the paint to get sloughed off in the rain or snow
Fena we miss you come back please

I never in a million years thought that this would turn out as good as it did! Good job! Love it!
Fena, babs, darling, sweetie, I've missed your videos and you. Hope you're doing absolutely fabulous.
Simple and Gorgeous... Thanks for showing us how it's done, Fena!
I think I'll give this a go on a pair of Crocs
Painting old sneakers never crossed my simple little mind. Thanks for that.
I'd love to buy you a wild pair of heels!
I’m gonna get you for this music 😂😂😂
Omg I remember you from Divas in Noho, MA! Haha we ate at Denny’s in Holyoke late one night after the club. ❤

Feen, you're so wholesome, I love you
Hi Fena! I’ve known about you for a while but I just dove into your channel. Cant wait to watch more
How would sneakers work? Do you have to prime them or anything?
