Angelus Dark Grey Paint is an acrylic leather paint in a charcoal dark grey, 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.

What customers say

“I found your product super easy to use. I used the dark grey on my very faded red leather couch. It took about 3 coats and it now is a grey/blue color which I like very much.”

★★★★★ Carmen K., La Quinta, CA

“This product came in very fast and was very easy to use! I painted 2 shoes with only using a bit of the smallest bottle and the coverage is amazing!”

★★★★★ Misha B., Suwanee, GA

Common questions

Can I mix Dark Grey with other Angelus colors?

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

Can you airbrush Angelus Dark Grey 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

Very good quality..love the outdoors comes of my designs

I am obsessed!

I used this and grey with an airbrush to create a "natural" lookin greyscale pumpkin bag and it turned out so beautiful!

Outstanding Quality

Best quality paint on the market. It’s all I use on my customs for my own personal ones and for clients!!

Quality product

Got to admit we were very skeptical about using this product to change our two ottomans from burgundy to dark grey. But the results were astonishing. The paint just glided onto the leather , dried within an hour and voila ! Two new looking ottomans with a new life . We decided to do a leather chair too . Best thing about it spreads perfectly with no streaks and we used less than a quart

True colors !

The colors come out true to what you hope for! The reviews tell it all ! I usually need 3 coats to paint a leather handbag! I have used grey, light brown and black! The look comes out as a designer hand bag should look!

Cost and labor effective

Uniform color, only one coat was needed. Multiple paint jobs were easier.

Shipped fast, and colors were accurate.

Fine high quality product and fast delivery

Loved it

I have purchased this color before to cover a couch this time I covered a chair. It looks amazing as always! Thank you

Works amazing

I have a purse with lots of paint streaks on it bought this product because i heard it was good and i was impressed it left my purse amazing no paint marks left behind and it color matched what i needed

Angelus Dark Gray Paint

I bought this for my leather couch I have tested it and it will look amazing. It is much easier than you think to make leather furniture to look brand new. Even your car seats. Angelus has a leather repair product you can use if it is ripped or too worn out. Do that first and all you need is a heat gun. Really easy and the results are so satisfying.

Happy to hear that this was an easy project that worked out for you.

I like all the colors that are available to choose from, they add that pop to your work that your looking for. You can’t go wrong!

Good price, good deliver 👍

Goes on greatly and works well and shows up over black

Great

Best paint ever!
