I get a lot of questions on my "secrets" lol which cracks me up because it's nothing secret....
I seal my shoes with a glue-like sealer before and after painting...doing it before locks the fibers so i get smoother lines.
The paint is basic Apple barrel acrylics...or any other acrylic I find...
The MAIN thing i guess that makes it look so bright and vibrant is (unlike most) I do a little extra work by drawing a basic outline of the characters and paint them all white! THEN I paint the colors and lines....
Hope that answers your curiosity a bit..
oh and just a tip for the xbox controllers(if you haven't already tried it)...hobby/model paint works best...nothing else is going to stick right and backing images with white or silver will really help with lighter colors on plastic too.
