Perfect for projects that require a deep, spicy red tone, this water-based acrylic paint bonds to leather, vinyl, and canvas without the risk of flaking. This professional formula stays pliable once dry, allowing the Chili Red pigment to move with the material during normal wear and heavy flexion in the toe box. By following a proper deglazing prep and applying the paint in light layers, you create a waterproof and scuff-resistant surface that holds its rich color depth on all high-wear sneaker panels.

Formula: Flexible, water-based acrylic built for professional shoe restoration and custom projects.

Application: Compatible with brushes, sponges, or airbrushes (0.35mm+ nozzle recommended with 2-Thin).

Coverage: Concentrated Chili Red pigment provides solid color saturation on both light and dark leather.

Durability: Strong resistance to water, scratches, and fading after the 24-hour curing process.

Sizes: Stocked in 1 oz, 4 oz, Pint, and Quart bottles to support small repairs and bulk 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.

I have a My Little Pony convention coming up. I cosplay Sunset Shimmer. I wanted to make her journal from the Equestria Girls series. I already had a brown leather journal lying around so I decided to order leather paints and top coat to make it happen. Okay, okay, the paint. It did its job. It was very easy to work with. When I got some on my bracelets, I simply scratched it away with my fingernail. The colors used in the project were Yellow and Chili Red. Great paints. Will totally purchase again if I need to paint more leather.

Thank you for this great review Robin.

Finally.

I’ve attempted to customize shoes a couple times and they turned out cute, but it was never the look I was going for. The paint never seemed to settle or dry right. Finding Angelus was the best thing ever. I can’t wait until my next project.
