    Exclamation Dyeing canvas shoes, anyone?


    Hello Istoryans!

    I'm having a problem with my canvas shoes. It's still new but it got dirty. -but that's not the problem.
    Ecko Unltd. S.C. Cruiser
    Brand: Ecko Unltd.
    Style: S.C. Cruiser

    Insole: Fabric
    Outsole: Rubber
    Upper: Canvas

    Here.
    I tried to clean it w/ Ariel Stainlift. (I didn't know it's not recommended to clean canvas shoes w/ bleaching soaps/powders)


    So it got BLEACHED. And, the discoloration was uneven. So bati na keu tan-awn ako sapatos . Now, my problem is how to restore it's original color or if not a lil closer to it.
    UPDATE:Others have recommended acrylic/fabric paints. I will try it out. Fabric paint will give a natural look. Pero i dunno where to buy one. Any ideas? If i can't find fabric paints i will resort to acrylics. 1:6 ratio of acrylic paint and water would result to "softer" finish.

    Also warning sa mga naay canvas shoes. DON'T ever wash it with any bleaching soaps/powders. White canvas are included kai magkayellow stain pud na due to the bleach.

    Did the acrylic paint really work? If yeah, is it the same process as dyeing shoes? Or do you just immerse the shoes in the mixture?

    BTW, do you know any shoe repair shop that dyes canvas shoes? Mr. Quickie only dyes leather
