Q&A for How to Color Your Converse

You would have to first bleach them to remove the pink color, then mix a light blue dye to use.

Sharpie is less time consuming and works almost as well as paint. If you have the time to wait for the paint to dry and also have black paint, then painting would be better.

Yes, but if you are using dye or markers, you will be putting the color on top of the pink. So if you use blue dye, the shoes will be a shade of purple.

I wouldn’t advise that, as Crayola washable markers aren't meant for fabric. If you are going to use markers, use fabric markers.

Yes, and you should be able to do that by bleaching them just a little bit so that the colour gets lighter (but doesn't disappear completely).

If you are using paint or fabric markers, they just have to be black. You can then follow the instructions in the article on how to dye your shoes.

Yes. Just cover the bottom rubber with tape, to protect it from the color, then paint or color them as shown in the above directions.

If you bleached the whole thing, then you could use any color of your choice. But if there was only a small spot that was bleached, I would recommend color matching it so it is the same color again. Also, taping the parts you don't want to be bleached would be a good idea.

Yes, use a Mr. Sketch marker and color the whole shoe. The results should be amazing but do use something to seal the color, and do not wear them on rainy days.

You can't turn them clear, but you can make them a pretty bright white if you use bleach.

Paint them black, or if you have fabric markers, then you could use those. However, the paint would give you a better outcome.

Yes, just find black fabric paint and follow the directions above. If you’re trying to paint a lighter color, you would have to bleach it, but for black the dye is all you need.

For a black shoe, consider starting with a white base coat and then the colour of your choice. As with eyeshadow, the white will make the colour pop more and make sure it does not sink into the shoe.
