Silver Jeans

[kwiteaboy]

Yeah, I think so too. The reason I put the second coat on was because the jeans in person didn't look nearly as silver as they did in the first set of photos. We'll see how they wear, and I can always try again. I still have a jar and a half of paint left, and it's not like the jeans broke the bank.

The best thing about having that paint on them is that they trap heat like no other..perfect snow pants! :-/

I left them on the newspaper covered floor while they dried. The drying was remarkably quick, about half an hour each side. The heat-setting was just ironing them, which I'm not convinced did anything at all.

It's way too hot here in Seattle to wear these right now. I'm pissed at the weather.

Those look bananas!!! Too bad they can't breathe and are uncomfortable - I was ready to run out and buy a jar of silver paint...kind of triggered a ten year old desire I had to have a silver suit a la Jon Spencer. I'm curious how Dior did it - maybe a heat transfer foil print.

I'm curious how Dior did it - maybe a heat transfer foil print.

probably the same way, except i bet Dior dyes the denim before the jeans are sewn together, so they move a little easier.

Bump.. how are they looking now? Someone just highlighted this thread elsewhere in regards to spray painting.

Are they chipping everywhere? And how do they smeelllllll??

Did you paint the zipper area? And I don;t know, but won't the indigo bleed through the seams when these get wet?

I'm gonna do this with a pair of gloves!
