Lace up for summer fun

The Team from Resene ColorShop Botany Downs

Who wouldn’t want to show up to play in flash shoes like these? Customise a fresh pair of footwear or fancy up some old favourites – while covering up scuff marks – with nothing more than a few Resene testpots, artist’s brushes and a bit of good quality masking tape.

If your kids are little, you can help mask off any of the harder parts – such as around the soles – that you want to keep paint off of and remove laces, if there are any. You can even use this idea to makeover adult shoes that never get worn because the colour doesn’t go with anything.

Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

The lads in the workshop...

Botany Toyota

The lads in the workshop work hard to ensure our customers' cars continue to work hard for them … but while they are serious about what they do, they like to have a good laugh now and then.

Alix (left) and Luke (right) chose not to share the joke ... #spoilsports
