How to Use Angelus Glow-in-the-Dark Paint on Sneakers: Tutorial with Tristan Custom Snkrs

I'm based in Pau, France.

I discovered Angelus through social media. I first got into customizing by watching videos from American artists like Dillon DeJesus. I ordered my first Angelus paints shortly after, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’m also proud to be an Angelus France ambassador for over a year now.

I mainly use Angelus products for sneaker customization, but I also use them to paint gaming controllers and basketballs. What I love most about Angelus paint is its durability and smooth application. I’ve never had issues with cracking or fading.
The versatility of the products is also a big plus: with the right additives, I can paint on leather, inner lining, soles, plastic, rubber, and more, and achieve different finishes like matte, gloss, neon, or fluorescent.

5. Applicator Pads – They may look like regular cotton pads, but they’re incredibly durable and don’t tear apart. I use them to clean shoes or fix mistakes. Way better than traditional cotton balls.
4. 2-Thin – A must-have thinner for making paint more fluid. Perfect for achieving smooth layers or reviving paint that’s been sitting in the palette too long.
3. Matte 4-Coat – My go-to sealer for giving customs a clean, matte finish I love.
2. Paintable Repair Filler – I use it on every custom where I remove the Swoosh. It’s perfect for covering stitching holes.
1. Flat White Paint – My absolute favorite. I love working with matte finishes, and Flat White lets me give that look to any color mix. It’s a must in almost every pair I create.

Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Create projects that you’re passionate about—something you won’t mind spending hours on. Technique comes with time. And of course, if you want your customs to last, use Angelus!
