★★★★★Restoration

“They looked brand new.”

I inherited an old pair of Birkenstock white sandals that had yellowed and developed light brown spots on the leather, but were otherwise intact. After using this paint…

It’s so easy to use. I’ve never painted shoes before until last week. I surprised my daughter and custom painted a pair of Vans for her…

Angelus Dark Green Paint is an acrylic leather paint in a deep forest green, for customizing and restoring sneakers, boots, bags, and other leather goods. It's water-based, stays flexible once dry, and covers in 3 to 5 thin coats on a properly prepped surface.

Choose 1 oz., 4 oz., pint, or quart. We've made Angelus products in Los Angeles since 1907.

Works on

  • Leather shoes, bags, and furniture
  • Canvas and denim (add Angelus 2-Soft for a softer feel)
  • Wood
  • Plastic and metal, mixed with Angelus 2-Hard

Before and after you paint

On leather, take off the factory finish first with 3 to 5 passes of Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer. When you're done, seal it with Angelus 4-Coat for protection and the sheen you want.

Pro-grade paint, made easy for first-timers

  • Angelus is the go-to paint for first-time customizers, and it's the same professional-grade paint fashion, footwear, and entertainment companies use to make costumes, exclusive pieces, and finished products. You get commercial-grade quality at everyday prices.
  • Thin coats go on smooth, and the color builds with each one.
  • Want to warm up first? Try a few strokes on the Angelus Leather Test Swatch, real leather with a smooth side and a suede side.
  • You can always adjust. Dried paint comes off with Deglazer, or you can simply paint over it, so you can keep going until you love it.
  • Free step-by-step tutorials on our YouTube channel and FAQs walk you through it. Not sure about a color? Check the Color Chart. Unused products can be returned within 30 days.

Common questions

Can I mix Dark Green with other Angelus colors?

Yes. All Angelus paints mix together, so you can lighten, darken, or shift Dark Green to match your project.

Can you airbrush Angelus Dark Green Paint?

Yes. Use an airbrush with at least a 0.35mm nozzle, and thin the paint with Angelus 2-Thin if you need it to flow more easily.

How much paint do I need?

A 1 oz. bottle usually covers 2 to 3 pairs of shoes completely. For a leather chair, plan on about a pint to a quart, and for a full couch, a quart or two.

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.

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.

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.

This paint was made with love u can tell. I use it and it reeks of good craftsmanship. Any shoe I place this paint on emits an aura of excellence. A paint so fine da Vinci only wishes he could’ve come up with something so remarkable.
