I wasnt thinking of documenting the process until I sprayed on the rubber black undercoat so the processes are,
1. Stick on the pearls with super glue and wait for them to dry
2. Mask the toe and surrounding area for protection
3. Apply the undercoat and wait for the paint to dry
4. Apply gun metal as necessary
After three coats of gun metal
Cat's shoes are ready for wear once again and the pout has disappeared!
