Good to know
Paint questions, answered
Quick answers from our counter staff.
Can you paint leather with Angelus paint?
Yes. Angelus paint is a water-based acrylic made for leather shoes, bags and furniture. Take off the factory finish first with 3 to 5 passes of Leather Preparer & Deglazer, then paint in thin coats.
How many coats does it take, and how long does it dry?
3 to 5 thin coats give full coverage, and fewer work for line and detail work. Let each coat dry 15 to 30 minutes, then wait at least 24 hours before the paint bends or flexes.
How far does a 1 oz. bottle go?
About 2 to 3 pairs of shoes per 1 oz. bottle for a full repaint. Detail work uses much less.
Does it work on canvas, denim and fabric?
Yes. Clean the fabric first so no oils or dirt are left. Mix in 2-Soft to keep painted fabric soft and more laundrable, and heat set it when you use 2-Soft.
Do I need to seal it?
It's optional, and it helps. A layer or two of 4-Coat adds protection and sets the sheen: Flat, Matte, Satin or High Gloss.
What if I make a mistake?
You can always adjust. Dried paint comes off with Deglazer, or you can simply paint over it.
I absolutely LOVE the Angelus paint. I seriously will never buy another brand again. My collection of colors is growing and have been able to mix my own custom colors. It has take my art to a total new level.
I bought some vintage 1970s Dr. Scholls wooden sandals on Poshmark. They were perfect, but the straps were a drab light purple. I wanted to ensure I could wear them with lots things, so the bronze was a sassy neutral option. Went on easily and after three thin coats, they looked like they'd always been bronze. I also used the prep and finishing solutions.
Better than any other leather, fabric paints.
Definitely does what it needs to do💯
My first time customising shoes. Mum’s beige leather ankle boots look a bit worn out where her feet brush against each other, so I used the metallic bronze paint to give them a new look. This paint is of a brilliant quality as it sits on the leather so well and the colour so rich and deep. I applied only double coats. Finished with Acrylic finisher. Very happy with my purchase and can’t wait to try other colours on other shoes!
This is a fantastic color
I just used this paint a suppressor cover project. It turned out very nice. So please with Aangelus products.
Great quality paint.
I love all the color, all my handbags have been given a new lease of life.
Great product...love the color and coverage.
This paint came out great on my custom soccer cleats
I absolutely love this color! It goes on perfectly with no transparency.
Easy to use. Great coverage. Just the thing I needed to repair a pair of loafers I love!
Antique treatment.
I’m using this to antique a tooled sunflower. I also use copper a turquoise and so far so good.
Excellent
I used the bronze paint mixed with gold to match metallic sandals I was refurbishing. It added a nice depth to the gold. The sandal still looked too gold when I finished, and I did a light coat of bronze over that, with a beautiful result so pic is more gold than the pure bronze. I love how these paints go on smoothly and evenly, even the first coat covers well, love that these paints are acrylics, and water soluble until they dry.
And can be used for many other applications.
Great product at amazing price.
Loved this paint! Super easy to order, arrived fast, and the quality’s great. The bronze color is bold and shiny, and it went on really smoothly
I am someone who buys consumer products online with trust and an open heart - the proverbial fool whose money is soon parted. I can think of very, very few times where my expectations were not only met, but exceeded. Angelus does this through a variety of sharp marketing, small gifts with each purchase and a slightly irreverent tone about itself that exuddes humor confidence and a welco,me dose of not taking its self too hseriously.
Of course, the real winners here are the Angelus Direct products which I have used on hundreds of projects over many years with remarkable results. I have never once been disappointed and you can rely on my experience as a trully appy customer of Angelus Direct and buy with confidence.
The best the only and the one you need.
Excellent, just what I was looking for.Arrived quickly and packaged nicely.TY:)
