Rit dye em with gray... i used black shoe polish for the centers...which is a stain polish called lincoln wax...use it for my low quarters (air force dress shoes) black spray paint gray spraypaint and swede boots brown after all that was done some sandpaper in spots to weather the pipping, just made it look best I could like the pics really you have to fade the black and whatnot to make it look right
I airbrushed mine using some colors posted by others that airbrushed as well. Here's what I used:
- Humbrol 140 - Dark Gull Gray
- Humbrol 33 - Black
- Humbrol Thinner
I sprayed the center black first, then I sprayed the remainder with the Gull Gray. After that I mixed in a little bit of the black with the Gull gray and went back over the entire boot (including the center) for the weathering.

The "brand name" of boot shouldn't matter so much. Directions for weathering boots are stickied at the top of this section:
