Angelus Beige Taupe Paint

Q: Can you paint leather with Angelus paint?

Yes. Angelus paint is a water-based acrylic made for leather shoes, bags and furniture. Take off the factory finish first with 3 to 5 passes of Leather Preparer & Deglazer, then paint in thin coats.

Q: How many coats does it take, and how long does it dry?

3 to 5 thin coats give full coverage, and fewer work for line and detail work. Let each coat dry 15 to 30 minutes, then wait at least 24 hours before the paint bends or flexes.

Q: How far does a 1 oz. bottle go?

About 2 to 3 pairs of shoes per 1 oz. bottle for a full repaint. Detail work uses much less.

Q: Does it work on canvas, denim and fabric?

Yes. Clean the fabric first so no oils or dirt are left. Mix in 2-Soft to keep painted fabric soft and more laundrable, and heat set it when you use 2-Soft.

Q: Do I need to seal it?

It's optional, and it helps. A layer or two of 4-Coat adds protection and sets the sheen: Flat, Matte, Satin or High Gloss.

Q: What if I make a mistake?

You can always adjust. Dried paint comes off with Deglazer, or you can simply paint over it.

Before and after you paint

On leather, take off the factory finish first with 3 to 5 passes of Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer. When you're done, seal it with Angelus 4-Coat for protection and the sheen you want.

Common questions

Can I mix Beige Taupe with other Angelus colors?

Yes. All Angelus paints mix together, so you can lighten, darken, or shift Beige Taupe to match your project.

Can you airbrush Angelus Beige Taupe Paint?

Yes. Use an airbrush with at least a 0.35mm nozzle, and thin the paint with Angelus 2-Thin if you need it to flow more easily.

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.

So good

So good, I was able to repair my purse seamlessly.

Restored expensive shoe wardrobe!

I used Angelus paints to restore all my expensive leather shoes, including many Salvatore Ferragamos that now retail for around $800. The quality of the paint is unbelievable - self-leveling with perfect sheen. They also can be mixed easily to replicate the exact color desired. I mixed Beige Taupe with two drops of Red and three of White to match some beige Ferragamo Varas. I saved myself thousands of dollars, and it was fun! Don't just use this paint for sneakers.

Best paint around!

Item as pictured & quick delivery.

I custom shoes and a lot of people love this color 🦃

I had a very pleasant experience. I had an item that I needed to restore it was a vintage handbag that was hard to match; regarding the color. I wanted to exchange it and your staff pleasantly tried to help me. I will be a returning client.

2 orders twice excellence

Your paint is so smooth that I got rid of a 40 year stain on a tan leather purse. Never thought it would happen.

Great color!

This color dried exactly as illustrated on the website. After a few thin coats I had an even and smooth finish.

Great paint!

Had a great experience with Angelus. I love the ease of mixing the colors, and how well it flows through my airbrush once thinned.

Very good leather paint

I used this paint to paint my old leather couch and was able to completely transform it and bring back to life. I would definitely recommend this color to others if you are looking for something light in color. This leather color and brand exceeded my expectations...

Great product

Great product!

Absolutely the best paint I have ever worked with!

Wrong paint I ordered

I ordered Champagne Beige and I got Taupe, the product still worked for the A-10 desert custom I was doing but I wish I got the lighter color I purchased in the first place. Angelus has never made a mistake from the years I've ordered from them so I'm sure it was my fault. The paint worked well and was the right consistency compared to my other Angelus Paints.

Sorry for the mistake. We are glad to hear that Taupe worked on your project. If you have any question please let us know.info@angelusdirect.com
