Angelus Bone is a technical acrylic coating specifically engineered for high-flexibility applications on leather, vinyl, and canvas. This professional-grade, water-based formula is designed to integrate with the material's fibers, ensuring the smooth bone pigment remains pliable even in high-stress areas like the toe box and side panels. By creating a permanent bond rather than a thick surface layer, it effectively eliminates the risks of cracking or peeling during constant mechanical movement.

To ensure a factory-standard finish, the surface must be prepared with a deglazer to remove original topcoats and oils. Applying the paint in light, incremental layers allows for a self-leveling, smooth appearance that is resistant to brush marks. Once the 24-hour curing cycle is complete, the Bone finish becomes an industrial-strength, waterproof barrier that provides long-term resistance against abrasive scuffs and environmental color fading.

Formula: Water-based, high-flexibility acrylic polymer optimized for permanent adhesion on footwear.

Application: Suitable for use with brushes, sponges, or airbrushes (thinning with 2-Thin is required for airbrush applications).

Coverage: High-density bone pigment provides exceptional opacity; ideal for vintage-inspired customs or off-white restoration work.

Durability: Formulated for maximum resistance to water penetration, scuffing, and UV wear.

Sizes: Available in 1 oz, 4 oz, Pint, and Quart containers to support both individual projects and high-volume shop work.

PAINTING LEATHER

1. Prepare leather surfaces using 3-5 passes of Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer using our applicators, cotton balls, or a rag. (acetone can also be used).

2. Wait for leather to dry a few minutes. When dry, wipe with microfiber cloth to remove any remaining dust particles.

3. Apply Angelus Paint with paint brush, airbrush (at least 0.35mm nozzle) or sponge. Apply 3-5 coats or until desired coverage has been reached. Less coats can be used for line work and detail work.

Make sure to leave to dry 15-30 minutes between layers.

4. Allow to dry for at least 24 hours before allowing paint to bend or flex. Be careful of flying lint or debris getting on the shoe to avoid imperfections. Longer curing time ensures better durability.

5. To add extra protection or customize the finish, apply Angelus 4-Coat Clear Coat in Flat, Satin, Glossy, or Matte. Use 1-2 layers for the best results. 1-2 layers on top.

PAINTING CANVAS/DENIM - SHOES, CLOTHING, AND MORE

1. Prep by cleaning the surface with a cleaning product like our Angelus Easy Cleaner Kit. It is necessary to get out all the oils and dirt that may be sitting in or on the canvas. 

2. Make sure there is adequate dry time and that you wipe off and get all the cleaner out.

3. (Optional) If you want to make the paint soak in and not be as rubbery textured on canvas we suggest using our product 2-Soft mixed with our paint. You can paint Angelus paint directly on canvas without it but it just will feel more like a screen print then part of the shoe. When using 2-Soft you must heat set.

4. Paint with 3-5 light layers of Angelus Paint. Make sure to leave to dry 15-30 minutes between layers.

5. Leave to dry. 

(Optional) No additional protection is really needed as the paint has soaked into the canvas. If you want to change the sheen to a matte or glossy look instead we do suggest our 4-Coat Clear Coat.

Complete Bernhardt sofa transformation with Angelus paint!

Fantastic. I took the plunge and finally attempted painted my brown Bernhardt formal leather sofa with Angelus paint (Bone paint). The sofa had a lot of surface wear due to use over the years, and parts of the seating were worn to bare coarse leather. My 2nd option was to throw the sofa away, so it was a no-lose proposition having only spent $40 on a quart of Bone paint. Not only was it a complete color transformation, but the Angelus paint consolidated the overall color and encapsulated the problem areas. The end result is AMAZING and the paint’s ability to flex is incredible. I love this sofa now! I’d be delighted to share some before and after pics given the opportunity.

Not the desired color I need.

I bought the color bone to repaint the midsole of the 23’ Jordan 3 White Cement midsoles and it didn’t match. I tried mixing it with flat white and it’s more on the grey side as opposed to the cream off-white look that I’m looking for.

Sorry to hear that. The color 'Bone' is not a matching color for this shoe. If you are looking for an off-white, try our Cream. Please keep in mind we do not have a color match for this shoe in particular. Please feel free to email us for further color assistance as well!

Bone Paint Darker than Original Shoe Color

The overall look of the finished product came out excellent❗️Just darker than I'd expected for summer tennis shoes. I have a picture to show the outcome.
