Purple Paint

Purple leather paint provides smooth coverage and a flexible finish when the surface is well prepped. 

The water-based formula stays easy to control, which helps you build color at a steady pace. As the layers dry, the shade retains its brightness and withstands regular wear and tear. 

You can mix tones or stack coats without losing clarity, making it simple to achieve the look you want. Many customizers and leather hobbyists choose it for the consistent results it delivers on every project. 

Angelus Brand’s products are made in the USA by a family-owned business with more than 100 years of leather care experience, so the quality stays dependable from one bottle to the next.

Purple comes in many moods, so you can match the exact style you want without guessing how the color will dry. Each finish brings its own look, from soft pastels to bold statement tones.

Standard Acrylic Leather Paint offers solid, opaque colors, including Lilac, Purple, and Violet. These classic finishes work for almost any project and sit smoothly on leather after proper prep.

If you're looking for a lovely shimmer, Pearlescent Prince Purple offers a soft metallic glow that beautifully shifts in the light.

For a truly vibrant look, Neon Paradise Purple offers a bold, eye-catching hue that makes panels, accents, and details pop.

Starting your purple leather paint project is simple when you follow a clean process. These steps help you get smooth layers, true color, and a finish that lasts.

1. Prep. 

Start by preparing the leather so the purple leather paint bonds cleanly. Use our Leather Preparer and Deglazer to remove the factory coating, then let it dry thoroughly.

If your project has edges or hardware, you can mask them with Premium Vinyl Tape and test a small spot first to check how the surface reacts.

2. Paint

Once the leather is ready, apply thin coats of your chosen purple shade and let each layer dry before adding the next so the color builds evenly. 

• If you plan to airbrush, mix your paint with 2 Thin using the suggested 1:4 ratio and strain it before pouring for smoother passes. 

• For fabric panels on shoes or bags, mix the paint 1:1 with 2 Soft and heat-set once it dries to keep the finish flexible.

3. Protect

Once you've finished painting, be sure to protect the surface so the color stays vibrant and long-lasting. You can use Angelus Brand Acrylic Finisher to achieve the level of sheen you want, or opt for the 4 Coat Urethane for stronger, scratch-resistant protection that withstands regular wear.

1. Clean Gently. You should always avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents on your painted surface. A gentle wipe with a damp cloth is typically all that is needed for daily cleaning.

2. Refresh Protection. Reapply Acrylic Finisher or 4 Coat when the surface starts to look dry so the paint stays protected from scuffs.

3. Cure Time. Allow the paint to dry and cure completely for at least 24-48 hours before using it heavily. Give your new custom paint job time to bond completely with the leather fibers.

4. Proper Storage. Store your painted items away from extreme heat and direct sunlight when not in use. Direct sunlight can cause any color, even purple, to fade over many months.

5. Spot Treatment. Use a small amount of mild soap and water for quick spot cleaning. Remember to gently dab the area rather than rub harshly to keep your item looking its best.
