Angelus Infrared (Collector Edition) is a technical acrylic coating specifically engineered for high-flexibility applications on leather, vinyl, and canvas. Part of the specialized Collector Edition series, this formula is precisely color-matched to the iconic vibrant pinkish-red hue found on the year 2000 release of the Infrared 6s. This professional-grade, water-based paint is designed to integrate with the material's fibers, ensuring the electric pigment remains pliable even in high-stress areas like the toe box and side panels. By creating a permanent bond rather than a thick surface layer, it effectively eliminates the risks of cracking or peeling during constant mechanical movement.

To ensure a factory-standard finish, the surface must be prepared with a deglazer to remove original topcoats and oils. Applying the paint in light, incremental layers allows for a self-leveling, smooth appearance that is resistant to brush marks. Once the 24-hour curing cycle is complete, the Infrared finish becomes an industrial-strength, waterproof barrier that provides long-term resistance against abrasive scuffs and environmental color fading.

  • Formula: Water-based, high-flexibility acrylic polymer optimized for permanent adhesion and factory-accurate color matching.

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

  • Coverage: High-density vibrant pigment provides exceptional opacity; ideal for year 2000 "Infrared" restorations or creating high-contrast custom designs.

  • Durability: Formulated for maximum resistance to water penetration, scuffing, and UV wear.

  • Sizes: Available in 1 oz and 4 oz containers to support precise restoration and custom footwear projects.






Make your own pair of iconic Jordans with Angelus Collectors Edition paints. The Collector Edition Infrared was matched off of the year 2000 release of Infrared 6's.

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.

Perfect colour matching

Quality was as expected, consistency was great too. Adhering was good as I had some paint peel off could be other reasons for adhering but am not totally sure if it was the paint.Overall I loved the product and the color was vibrant and rich.
