Angelus Burgundy 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 deep burgundy 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 Burgundy 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 burgundy pigment provides exceptional opacity; ideal for restoration of dress shoes or custom sneaker color-swaps.

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.

Perfect match for retouching vintage Olympus film camera

I used this to refinish a vintage Olympus LT Zoom 105 film camera which also has burgundy "leather" coverage. Surprisingly, it is a perfect match. I removed the old paint using Angelus preparer and deglazer (after taping it up carefully). Apply 2 coats of paint and then follow by 2-3 thin coats of Satin finisher. Now the 30 year old camera looks like new!

That color you guys sent me was not Burgundy

That color you guys sent me was not Burgundy. That was some off light purple. I am disappointed with this one. I feel like the person who mixed my paints did not even try and gave me the bottom of the barrel effort.

Great Product but Didn't Meet Expectations

The only negative I have is the color is much darker than burgundy. It is more like a dark brown. It ruined my shoes. I wish there was more info about the exact shade and also how it looks on different types of leather. But at least more info about the color itself.

Excellent Job of Covering Angelus paintable Repair Filler

I patched a tear in a shoe across the heel tab using the Repair Filler.(several applications - sanding in between). I applied a single layer of the Burgundy Acrylic Paint. It matched the previously used Angelus Burgundy Shoe Polish, and I only needed a single application of the Acrylic Paint.

Top Marks to match vintage Gucci Burgundy tone

I've had a Gucci 1970s leather bag for many years - and used it a lot. In the past few years, I had to stop use - the edges were getting too worn. I only recently discovered Angelus leather paints - and that there was a Burgundy tone that matched the vintage colour exactly! Now after a little TLC with Angelus, the leather looks perfect again. There's some thing magic in the formula that makes each stroke really match the 'natural' texture of the leather and never looks 'painted' or 'fixed-up.' Top marks and top quality - I want every shade!
