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…

Angelus Metallic Gold Paint is a metallic acrylic leather paint in a bright metallic gold with a reflective sheen, 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

How do I get Metallic Gold bright on dark leather?

Lay down a base coat of Angelus White first, then paint Metallic Gold over it.

Can I mix Metallic Gold with other Angelus colors?

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

Can you airbrush Angelus Metallic Gold 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.

The gold covers really well

The gold covers really well, even on black.

Satisfied

Very pretty color and does not leave a glitter appearance, if that is a concern.

Very pleasantly surprised!

I honestly didn't know what to expect. I did my research, watched videos and contacted Angelus for advice and I am so glad that I did! The handles of my gold leather handbag was wearing off and looked terrible. I put the handbag away for a few years then finally got up the courage to clean and refinish the worn areas. Angelus gave great advice and made me feel confident enough to give it a try and I am so glad that I did! My bag looks brand new and if the gold finish wears off again, I will simply retouch it. Great product and great customer service. The only advice I can offer is.... do your homework and be patient. My results were perfect and yours will be too! Now I want to paint everything GOLD!

Perfect Gold!

Turned my pale yellow leather tote into a gorgeous gold stunner!

WOW! That is most DEFINITELY a stunner!

The perfect shimmer

I just used this gold for the centers of my peony flowers I'm painting on my leather handbag. The shimmer is perfect!

Fabulous paint

I purchased this paint to make custom baseballs. I was pleasantly surprised with the coverage and flow of the product. I'm happy I ordered a few extra colors to personalize other items. What a selection of colors for customization. Absolutely no disappointment in this product! Thanks for the confidence you gave to me with your paint.

Seems a good flexible paint for leather.

Good Stuff!!

Love the product.

Excellent Paint

The Paint was excellent and will be the only paint i will use when I customize my shoe projects

Just what i needed and it works percect

Great paint

I was wisely advised by your staff to do 2 coats. The gold needed it to show up. It was easy to mix two colors to get a new color. The paint goes a LONG way! The consistency is easy to work with

It’s

It’s gorgeous

It was perfect for shoes

Am very disappointed in the coverage of the metallic gold, am not using it on leather but on wood that has a clear coat of finish and even multiple coats won’t cover the clear/wood. Same goes for the metallic copper although not quite as bad.

Hi Kelly, thanks for your feedback. Sorry to hear that color did not work out for you as far as coverage. Since we do not test on wood with the paints, we are not sure of the coverage to offer customers. The clear coat would also be a deterrent for the coverage as well.
Please send an email in the future so that we can answer any questions prior to applying on your project. Thank you!

Sticks good to leather shoes good

Gold accents in the room.

I bought two cubic ottomans second hand. They are not the same but the same size. Painted both gold. They look great!I love the coverage of the paint. You do need 3-4 coats but a little paint goes a long way.
