Angelus South Beach 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 vibrant teal-cyan 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 South Beach 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 South Beach pigment provides exceptional opacity; ideal for Miami-inspired customs or vibrant summer-themed restorations.

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.

Very bright!

It went on like a dream
However the color , which was exactly what it looked like on the chart, early made my eyeballs pop out of my head. So I am doing my. Lots over in a slightly less. Rillksnt color but saving the extra paint for my art! This leather dye is awesome and easy to use even if you picked the wrong color. I got a discount on the replacement bottle I bought so I’m happy. I’ve used angelus leather dye twice now , against the advice of all the naysayers who said it would t come out well and it would rub off.
I did it as directed and they were ALL WRONG! It’s beautiful. In the case of south beach, I just chose the wrong color. But even so , they look beautiful

Great Color, Great Coverage

I used this paint to take some drab work boots and make them really flashy. I used two coats, just to be sure, but the coverage even after the first coat would have been enough.
