Angelus Luggage Brown is the perfect shade to restore or customize your leather hand bag or couch. This versatile acrylic craft paint delivers excellent coverage and durability for all your leather projects.


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 stuff works

Bought two bottles of Angelus paint to mix my own color. Peeled off the old layer that was already coming apart, cleaned the surface with rubbing alcohol, then used a round-tip brush to dab the paint on. Gave it about 15 minutes between coats, probably did 4–5 layers total. The results? Way better than I expected. Smooth, solid finish and the color came out great.

miniature “leather” chair restoration

I bought a miniature “leather” chair for a dollhouse room, which needed repair and its “leather” finish was chipping off. The chair was great quality but in bad shape. Since I got it for $4, I had nothing to lose by trying out the Angelus products to see if I could restore it. After chipping off the remaining finish, I held my breath and painted two thin coats of luggage brown. The results are amazing! When I showed the newly restored chair to my miniaturist sisters, they were astounded at how new the piece looked. I am thrilled with the results and plan to buy more colors soon. The price for these little bottles is so reasonable, and the product is unbelievable!

Where Color Meets Craft

Angelus paints are top-tier for custom work. The colors are vibrant, smooth, and long-lasting, especially on leather and sneakers. They apply evenly, mix well, and don’t crack when properly sealed. Reliable, professional, and worth every *drop*.

Perfect title. We appreciate the grat review.

Amazing paint…beautiful results!!!

Super happy we discovered these products! Love how it’s pliable almost immediately after application. Usually you’d have to wait days & then have to buff, but not with this paint. It’s easy to apply, very soft finish after drying and makes older leather furniture look richer again!! The colors are gorgeous and love how affordable it is. Highly recommend Angelus brand products!! Thank you team for your time & help!

so far this paint is holding up

I painted my double recliner and it is holding up so far I used thin coats I still got some more to go over a second coat in placed I had ordered more paint and have not finished it yet I had used another brand off paint and it almost ruined my leather but I got most off the old off peeled it off because it would flake off and peel. So I had a job on my hands now I thought I was going to have issues with this one but so far it is not peeling or cracking looks new an very nice just get finished with it and we will see

Hi there, I am interested in purchasing this paint for one of my cosplay shoes, and I wanted to ask a couple of questions. The first one is that will this work on foam, as the shoes I purchased have a foamy/rubbery texture? Second, would I have to purchase your white leather paint and apply it before I used the luggage brown pain so that the original color doesn't shine threw? or could I use just the deglaze and then apply the luggage brown paint? Thank you so much, have a wonderful day.

Angelus Direct

Hello Arin, I actually have seen a bunch of Cosplay artists use this on the costumes. Because it is flexible, it is becoming a favorite in that world. You would only apply a light color as a base if the item itself is a black and you want a lighter color on top of that.
