Vinyl Paint

Angelus offers a range of vinyl-safe paints formulated to flex, adhere, and wow. Each line is designed to bond to different surfaces.

Standard Acrylic Paints

If you need an all-purpose base coat or want to recolor soft vinyl sneakers, bags, or upholstery, check out the Angelus Acrylic Paints collection. These provide a smooth, matte finish and come in different shades. Great for full recolors or subtle touch-ups.

Metallic Series

For high-gloss detail on door panels, plastic trim, or dashboard logos, the Angelus Metallic Paint line delivers serious shine. These chrome-like pigments add dimension and reflective pop to your projects.

Pearlescent Line

Need a subtle, iridescent effect on vinyl handbags, guitar pickguards, or console inserts? The Angelus Pearlescent Leather Acrylic Paint range gives you a clean, shimmering effect that shifts in light without overwhelming the base color.

Neon Collection

Want bold, in-your-face color? The Angelus Neon Paint collection is perfect for outdoor gear, safety details, and bold statement lettering. 

These day-glo brights work beautifully on vinyl, especially when paired with proper surface prep and masking.

Glitterlites Sparkle Paints

If you're painting craft vinyl, kids’ accessories, or building a glitter-packed cosplay armor, Angelus Glitterlites is your go-to. 

It’s pre-mixed glitter in a flexible binder, no need for glue or layering. Just apply and sparkle.

Collector Edition & Glow FX Colors

Need an exact color match or a little glow? Angelus Collector Edition paints offer sneaker-specific shades.

On the other hand, the Green Glow-in-the-Dark Acrylic Paint adds luminous fun to vinyl dashboards, panels, or trim that comes alive under black light.

When it comes to vinyl paint, performance matters; you want something that looks sharp, lasts long, and won’t crack, peel, or flake, even on tricky surfaces.

• Flexible, Crack-Resistant Finish: Angelus forms a durable yet flexible film that bends and flexes with vinyl, leather, and plastic. The paint holds strong without chipping, even after daily use or shifting temperatures.

• Safe for Indoor Use: This water-based, low-odor formula is non-toxic, making it ideal for use in small spaces like home studios, apartments, or even your garage. You can paint dashboards, consoles, and chairs without having to worry about harsh fumes.

• Made in the USA Since 1907: Crafted by a trusted American brand, Angelus vinyl paint has been a go-to for cobblers, artists, restorers, and DIYers for over a century. It’s professional-grade quality that delivers excellent value and results that exceed expectations.

• Strong Bond on Rigid Surfaces: Need to paint rigid PVC panels, hard plastic dash inserts, or exterior trim? Just mix in Angelus 2-Hard. This additive boosts adhesion and helps the paint hold up under pressure, especially in high-touch areas.

• Compatible With Adhesion Promoters: Angelus plays well with a wide range of adhesion promoters. Pair it with proper prep, and you’ll get long-lasting, even coverage that resists fading and stands up to rain, heat, and UV exposure.

Getting pro results with vinyl paint starts with smart prep and the right tools. Follow these steps for clean coverage, strong adhesion, and a finish that lasts:

1. Clean & Deglaze

Start by removing all oils, wax, and factory coatings. Angelus Leather Preparer and Deglazer strips the surface clean so your paint actually sticks. You can also find more prep options in our full prep products collection.

2. Optional Prime

Working on marine-grade vinyl, high-gloss door panels, or auto dashboards? A light scuff or plastic primer helps boost grip. It’s not always necessary, but it makes a difference on slick surfaces.

3. Mix in 2-Hard

If you're painting semi-rigid or hard plastic and vinyl, mix your color with Angelus 2-Hard Film Hardener.

• Use 1:1 (paint to 2-Hard) for semi-flexible materials

• Use 1:3 (paint to 2-Hard) for rigid parts like dash inserts or consoles

4. Apply Thin Coats

Choose your tool, paint brushes, airbrush setup, or sponge applicator set, and apply thin, even coats. 

Let each layer flash dry for about 20 minutes before adding the next. Avoid flooding the surface to prevent cracking, flaking, or uneven drying.

5. Seal It

Once the final coat is dry, lock it in with Angelus 4-Coat. Choose your sheen (matte, satin, gloss, or high gloss) for a finish that resists scratches, UV damage, and everyday wear.

Start with a solid prep using Preparer & Deglazer, pick your perfect finish, from matte to glitter and mix in 2-Hard if you're working with rigid surfaces.

Seal it all with 4-Coat for that factory-tight, no-flake result that holds up to daily wear.
