Angelus Dark Green is a professional-grade, water-based acrylic pigment specifically engineered for the high-movement demands of leather footwear and accessories. Unlike standard craft paints, this technical formula is designed to integrate with the material's fibers, creating a permanent bond with leather, vinyl, and canvas. This integration ensures the dark green finish remains highly flexible, allowing it to withstand constant bending and mechanical stress at the toe box and side panels without developing fractures or losing adhesion.

For a factory-standard result, the surface must be prepared with a deglazer to remove the original finish, ensuring a direct bond for the pigment. By applying the paint in light, incremental layers, you achieve a self-leveling, smooth appearance that mimics a factory finish. Once the 24-hour curing period is complete, the paint forms a waterproof and industrial-strength barrier, providing long-term resistance against abrasive scuffs, scratches, and environmental color fading.

Formula: Water-based, high-flexibility acrylic polymer specifically engineered for leather and vinyl substrates.

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

Coverage: High-density dark green pigment provides exceptional opacity; works effectively for full color-swaps or forest-themed customs.

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.

It works for pointe shoes!

I painted some pointe shoes with this paint for a ballet costume, and they turned out great! Got a nice, even coat on both the satin and the leather soles. I haven't danced in them yet, but they're able to bend without the paint cracking.

The Perfect Shade of Green!

I love green shoes and boots, but they're hard to find. So I was thrilled to find the perfect Dark Green shade , with fast,easy, thorough coverage over old colors. First I transformed a pair of old scuffed brown boots; they looked great. Then I found a nice pair of black dress shoes that looked kind of blah. One coat of green later and they look fabulous! This paint us easy to use, even for a novice, and a little bit goes a long way. Angelus is a great product. Five stars!

Still haven’t received my package.

I ordered my package on April 25. It is now more than a month later and I still have not received it. I understand it is international and during a pandemic. I would just like to see some progress in my shipping tracker. It has not moved since it has been “shipped”.

Hi Clare, we are so sorry that you never received your package. Have you reached out to us regarding this issue? I have refunded your order and you should be receiving your money back very soon. I do not have more information regarding the tracking unfortunately. In the future, please contact us regarding any issues. We are here to take care of you.

Angelus, A Must Have

Im a cobbler in Pennsylvania & am very familiar w/ Angelus Paints & products. I recently had a customer request to change the color of his white sneakers to dark green. I showed him a swatch of the Dark Green (from the SSIA Shoe Convention catalog).. I used the Angelus Preparer to completely clean the shoe, rid of any dirt.. applied several coats of the Dark green & finished the job with Angelus Matte Acrylic Finisher. The Matte Finisher gives the sneaker the most authentic look you can have, as if you've purchased the shoe out of the store. The customer was pleased, as was I. I purchased the 4oz bottles of also Autumn Red & Magenta. The colors are true to the catalog swatch. The paint does not crack, smear, or run. Apply in small coats & check out the MANY videos/tutorials online to be certain. Again, I highly recommend Angelus Paints personally & for my shoe repair shop for those custom creations customers desire.
