Angelus Paint Basics Kit

Awesome quality!

This is a great kit to start my shoe painting hobby. I love that the formula is especially created to work with the leather, and not against it as other paints are. I am looking forward to trying more colors.

This pair of shoes was so much fun to design and work with. The Angelus Leather Acrylic Paints helped to give them new life. I did check the reviews and watch the instructional video before starting. The colors shown on the product have not been altered or changed. I used only the red, white, and blue for this project. The white mainly for my oopsies. While acetone can help to remove them, it is a bit cumbersome to use in the beginning.**If you do your drawings or sketches prior to the degreaser(acetone), the product will take them off.Initially I started with the tongue of the shoe and even with thin coats the paint did seem to streak but as you as more layers you cannot see them. A little of the paint does go a long way as the colors I used still look like I just opened them. I did notice that if I added the color to the fabric part of the tongue it does soak up the paint quite a bit. Thin layers do dry quickly, so I applied 1 coat and then did another once dry to the touch. Allowed several hours after second coat. Did about 4 to 5 coats on these, dependent on the color you are looking for. Then finished with the Angelus Matte Acrylic Finisher No. 602 and did not apply the finisher to areas that were not painted.Now on the hunt for the next project.

Angelus leather paint is one of the best even though the bottles Maybe 1 ounce a little goes a long way! I stand by this leather paint as you see I finished my purse. I also fix my sister‘s leather couch. I follow the instructions and use everything. It said that I needed seven years ago. I fix my sisters couch. I blended the colors together and got the right color for her couch I used the primary colors to mix to get certain type of chocolate brown , And this day right now they don’t even remember that it was bleach accidentally spilled on the couch and I restored it! don’t remember It’s because there’s no evidence and they forgot and when I tell them they look at me like you’re kidding me! I wish I would’ve took a picture of before and after because even I myself, if I didn’t know I did it. I wouldn’t believe me either! This is excellent leather paint. Just use it according to the directions, Use the cleaner and the finisher!! You will not have any peeling just use it correctly and a little bit goes along way!! I am definitely a customer for life! That’s why I continue to order these wonderful leather paint.

I absolutely love these paints! They are so bold and bright on my leather projects. I don't have to dilute with water, I just paint directly onto the leather. Sometimes I water it down to do a more blending effect but it's not necessary. I bought the basic primary colors bundle with brushes and they mix up very well into your desired color and seal perfectly too with resolene when done.
