When the Ministry of Aircraft Production was absorbed into the Ministry of Supply on 1st April 1946, the MoS took over the responsibility for aircraft colour standards. These took the form of painted sheets of card enclosed in an envelope which were bound in a ring binder and entitled Ministry of Supply Stand of Colour Gloss and Smoothness for Aircraft Finishes Supplementary to BSS 381. It was not until 1964 that aircraft colours were included in BS 381C. Any colours that were in editions of BS 381 prior to the 1964 edition were there because they were there when they were chosen for an aircraft application. BS 381 was first issued in November 1930 and BS 381C in 1948.

If you are looking to get creative and paint leather shoes, then yes, it is a great leather paint for shoes. If you need to restore or repair your shoes, then you're best using our Shoe Colouring Kit.Using your craft knife, remove the excess tape by cutting around the outline of the shape, applying a light but firm pressure.

Don’t forget to scrub the rubber edges and tongue, too. Mix a few drops of washing up liquid into a cup of warm water and dip a soft brush (an old toothbrush is great for this job), or a clean cloth, into the solution. Gently scrub each shoe. Wet another clean cloth with just water and wipe the shoes to rinse. 4. Banish stubborn stains If your trainers are scuffed, use a trainer whitener such as Kiwi Sports Trainer Whitener to cover the scratches. You’ll have to reapply this every so often. Once applied, leave the Leather Paint to dry naturally or dry it instantly with a hairdryer. 3 - Finishing after using Leather Paint Once your trainers are dry and looking brand-new again, spray them with a stain protector, such as Nikwax Water Repellent Shoe Protector. This’ll form an invisible barrier on your shoes and protects them against liquids and stains. 8. Cover over scuffs
