"What's up, everybody. This is Raymond from Krayola Kicks. I'm here with Expert Videos. On this tape, I'm going to be applying a gold paint. This is going to be the first layer. Again, I like to use the brush with an angle which is the best for corners to get around the edges. You don't want to use this one, it's not good. Sloppy work. Use the angle brush, take the paint, get started. Add the first layer. This is just our first layer. It may not look like I'm doing much, but after a couple of layers, you'll see a big difference. You've just got to be patient with your work. Don't rush it, like I said earlier. If you rush, a sloppy job comes out. Go around the corners. Once again, when you go around the corners and the edges, don't apply too much paint onto the brush. It might get on the suede, and you don't want that. You want a clean job, once again. You also don't want to fill up these holes with the paint. You just tap it, just blow it. You also want to make sure you get up under the suede. Makes the job look more professional. Gives it a factory look. You've just got to be patient with your work. In the beginning, it might look a little ugly, but by the end of the job, it becomes a masterpiece. There's our first coat, first layer. Got to dry for about a minute or two. Paint dries real quick. Then we're going to start on our second layer."
