elpresidente99 1 Report post Posted September 27, 2011 I used a normal sharpie and painted all the red colored things black. I was a little bit scared at the first time but after i saw the result i was really happy, and now i have my perfect skates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tondog 12 Report post Posted September 28, 2011 Do you actually play hockey in them? Mine are thrashed looking already and I've only had them for about a month and a half. Even the red paint parts come off when you catch a slapshot on your boot.Oh and I agree...the do look much better now. I really do hate the design but they fit my feet so well they might as well be pink and I'd still wear them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elpresidente99 1 Report post Posted September 28, 2011 After the paintjob i had two practices and 2 games. Never reapainted since then. There ist nothing coming off from the paint, only on real hard slapshot but then the other colors come off too, it hold up really well.I had to punch out a spot to fit like a glove, but i had to do this with every skate a had, because of an overpronation only on my left foot, but performance wise i never had such a great skate i hope it will last a long time.

MyBoxersSayJoe 134 Report post Posted September 29, 2011 The graphics are getting worn off in spots on my APX's already. After having them for a year, I may black them out to look like what I'd posted in the Bauer Catalog thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
