Angelus Navy Blue is a technical acrylic coating specifically engineered for high-flexibility applications on leather, vinyl, and canvas. This professional-grade, water-based formula is designed to integrate with the material's fibers, ensuring the deep navy pigment remains pliable even in high-stress areas like the toe box and side panels. By creating a permanent bond rather than a 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 Navy Blue 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 on footwear.

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

Coverage: High-density navy pigment provides exceptional opacity; ideal for full color-swaps or restoration of dark leather.

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

Sizes: Available in 1 oz, 4 oz, Pint, and Quart containers to support both individual projects and industrial shop use.

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 for Guitar Amp

I have a vintage, dark blue guitar amplifier. It had torn up corner with missing Tolex (vinyl) and chewed up wood. I filled with wood/epoxy filler, sanded, and painted with Angelus Navy Blue Leather paint. Worked great! Even feels continuous between the painted corners and the Tolex.

Great Coverage & Smooth Finish

I really like this paint. I've tried several brands of navy paint and had a lot of trouble with bubbles in the paint. The Angelus navy goes on smoothly with good coverage and minimal bubbling in the finish which means less work to get a smooth finish on our products.
