Section 1: Product Title

Angelus Scarlet Red Acrylic Leather Paint | Standard Paint for Footwear & Accessories

Section 2: Description (Rich Text)

Angelus Scarlet Red 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 brilliant scarlet 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 Scarlet Red 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 scarlet red pigment provides exceptional opacity; ideal for bold custom sneakers or vivid restoration projects.

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 high-volume shop work.

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.

I bought the leather preparer, satin finisher, and a few shades of red because some faux leather I had ordered was a shade different from the original material. I was halfway through a classic auto interior and panicking because my fabric didn't match! I was able to save it with a very light touch of this paint, it flexes wonderfully and the satin finisher made the upholstery look spectacular. It now has a protective barrier too, so it's a win-win! I will definitely be ordering more, this paint is excellent quality and will be perfect for decorative pieces in the future. Thank you, Angelus!

What a beautiful

What a beautiful red!

Great vibrant red

Great vibrant red. I hand paint leather shoes, and find in most cases 3 coats provides maximum coverage.

Love the Color

The color is very vibrant and looks greats

Nothing better

I absolutely love these paints! I could never get the same colors offered, by mixing them myself

I very much appreciate the quality and gradient of the color

Exactly what I was looking for. I hate the weak red colors that everyone keeps selling. This is a good deep color

Fine high quality product and fast delivery

Scarlet Red Review

I enjoyed using this color! A little bit of paint goes a very long way and it dries down very nicely. I would highly recommend this shade to anyone!

The red came out really chunky but the color was nice

Enjoy…

This is another color that is gray on Jordans as well as women’s Jimmy Choos. Honestly, if you get creative with it, you can get a white pair of shoes and turn them into something brand new work of art. But I don’t want to share too many of my business ideas with you. Just think about it.
