Angelus Violet 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 violet 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 Violet 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 violet pigment provides exceptional opacity; ideal for rich, vibrant customs or deep-tone 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.

This gray streked bottle of 'violet' was the most disappointing of my purchases. It there are gray streaks running throughout the bottle & once mixed the paint looks nothing like the vibrant saturated violet in the product photos, YT video & IG photos I've seen. It's so horribly dark & gray based I find it useless it. There's absolutely no way I can mix it with other colors to make such a dark color more vibrant. I've wanted to purchase Angelus for years & my very 1st time buying from Angelus was a huge let down.

Hey Nicole! Sorry to hear our first impression was a dud! I am looking at a bottle here and it looks much more vibrant than this one. Please email us with a LOT# so that we can rectify this. We are always ready to help via email/chat. info@angelusdirect.com

Nice

awesome thank you for helping me in my projects

Gorgeous rich color

I painted some seldom worn sandals in purple, but the color was too dark and muddy. Next I added two coats of violet and oh boy! The color and coverage is beautiful.

Perfect paint for my project!

Easy to use paint that comes with a brush on the cap and is available in SO MANY COLORS. There's like 6 shades of purple. It's fantastic. The bottles seem tiny but it goes a long way. Rich, full coverage in just two coats for this project. Plus, if you live in Los Angeles you can pick up and avoid shipping!

First time using these paints

So far I really like them the colors are nice and rich with good coverage. I will continue to buy them. I'm happy with purchase and the price is good.

Colors are always great

The coverage is splendid, I only had to add a little bit of red to give it the tone I was looking for.

I like everything

Perfect match

The only paint I use on my leather projects.

Quality paint, I love the richness of this color!

Very pleased with this paint, its the first time I've used this brand and my first time doing customs but all the reviews have gave Angelus good props for leather paint and I would definitely agree, I will only be using this brand. This color is rich and beautiful!

Color looks even better once it's on a pair of sneakers.

Beat paint around!

Violet is beautiful!

Love this color so much! I have quite a few purple shades and I mix a lot of my own custom shades but this violet is just perfect. 👍
