Leather Paint for Couch

Angelus Acrylic Leather Paint isn’t your average DIY paint. While many products claim to work on leather furniture, most end up peeling, cracking, or fading. 

Angelus sets the standard with a professional-grade formula that outperforms anything else for painting leather couches or chairs.

Full Coverage

High-pigment acrylics deliver bold, even color, ensuring your leather sofa or couch looks refreshed with fewer coats. This means you’ll save time and paint while still achieving a smooth, professional look.

Ultra-Flexibility

The paint is designed to bend with your furniture, so your newly finished leather surfaces resist cracks and peeling even under daily use. It moves naturally with the leather, keeping your couch soft and comfortable to sit on.

Long-Lasting Durability

Angelus paint is formulated to withstand scuffs, scratches, and normal household wear to keep your furniture looking newer for longer. It’s a cost-effective way to extend the life of your leather without the expense of reupholstery.

Easy Application

Apply our Acrylic Leather Paint with a brush, sponge, or even a controlled spray system. The smooth formula makes the process simple for beginners while giving experts the precision they need.

If you’ve ever wondered how to paint leather furniture, we’re here to show you how it’s done. The good news? It’s pretty easy. 

With the right tools and preparation, you can avoid common mistakes, such as cracks, uneven coverage, or stiff finishes.

Follow this step-by-step process:

1. Surface Preparation

Begin by cleaning the couch with a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust and grime. Then, use Angelus Leather Preparer and Deglazer to remove the factory finish. This step ensures the paint bonds directly to the leather surface, preventing peeling or flaking later.

2. Select Your Color

Choose a color that either restores the original look or completely changes your sofa. With Angelus, you can match a classic shade like black or try something bold to give your leather couch new character.

3. Apply Thin Coats

Using a high-quality Angelus Brand paint brush, sponge, or airbrush, apply the paint in a thin coat. Let each coat fully dry before adding the next. Building coverage gradually helps achieve smooth, even results without creating a thick finish that feels stiff or is prone to cracking.

4. Build Up Coverage

Continue layering until you’ve reached full coverage. If you make an error, quickly wipe the area with a damp microfibre cloth before it dries.

5. Seal the Final Coat

Once your leather couch is fully painted, protect it with a final coat of Angelus Finisher or 4-Coat. This sealing step adds resistance against scuffs, scratches, and everyday wear, helping your couch maintain its fresh look for years.
