Angelus Chocolate is a high-pigment acrylic coating designed for the restoration and customization of leather, vinyl, and canvas. This water-based formula creates a thin, flexible bond that moves with the material to prevent cracking or peeling under stress. The deep brown finish provides a smooth, matte-to-satin appearance that mimics factory-applied color when prepped correctly with a deglazer.

  • Formula: Water-based acrylic resin engineered for permanent adhesion and high-flexibility on moving parts.

  • Application: Applies smoothly with brushes or sponges; compatible with airbrushes when mixed with Angelus 2-Thin.

  • Pigment Density: Rich chocolate brown tone provides full coverage and high opacity on light or dark base materials.

  • Resilience: Waterproof and scuff-resistant finish designed to withstand heavy daily wear and environmental exposure.

  • Sizes: Available in 1 oz, 4 oz, Pint, and Quart options for various project scales.

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.

This new product was fantastic... I was so pleased with the overall coverage. It was very easy to use and it did a great job with the first layer. It took 2lite coats and when it was dry it looked great and just like it came out of the factory. Just a great color match for you to explore with... Great job

It works

I had a few spots of discoloration on my leather couches. I chatted with an Angelus rep and sent her a few photos of the couches. She recommended the paint colors to purchase and the ratio to mix them. I went with her suggestions and the couches turned out great.

Angelus Chocolate Paint

The chocolate paint did exactly what I wanted it to do, which makes it cheap for the price. Best of all, a bottle goes a **** of a long way, and I will be using it for the next couple of years

This product is awesome

About this product to paint my Timberlan boots. They were 10 years old but in very good condition with some wear and tear. This was my first time doing anything of the sort. The shoes chemo so good that I have and I was shocked The colors were chocolate and golden honey and the two tones on the boot made them look brand spanking new I am already looking at otger stuff that I know now I can paint easily thank you Angelus.
