Designed for projects requiring a high-luster metallic finish, this water-based acrylic bonds to leather, vinyl, and canvas without the risk of cracking. The professional formula provides a smooth application that stays pliable after curing, ensuring the gold pigment moves with the material rather than peeling or flaking.

By using thin layers over a deglazed surface, you achieve a waterproof and scratch-resistant finish that maintains its shimmer even on high-wear sneaker panels.

Formula: Flexible, water-based metallic acrylic for leather restoration and customization.

Application: Compatible with brushes, sponges, or airbrushes (0.35mm+ nozzle recommended).

Coverage: Rich metallic pigments; for maximum brightness on dark surfaces, apply over a white base coat.

Durability: Resists water, scuffs, and fading once the 24-hour curing process is complete.

Sizes: Available in 1 oz, 4 oz, Pint, and Quart containers.

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.

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!

Kelly P. (Pinckneyville, US)

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!

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.
