Good to know
Paint questions, answered
Quick answers from our counter staff.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What if I make a mistake?
You can always adjust. Dried paint comes off with Deglazer, or you can simply paint over it.
I wanted a red, slightly darker than red but not as brown as autumn red, so I searched for "red paint" on the website. I thought this paint color was going to be the red brick of my home, but it's really that orange brick instead. I think this paint should be listed under orange, not red. It looks like tomato soup to me. Also, I think it would be great if there was a photo of all the paints in a big color wheel, showing how they vary by shades (that might not be the correct art term, sorry). That would be helpful when a customer has a couple colors in real life and can then compare them, since it's so hard to tell on the monitor/phone screen.

Great exactly the right color
It's so satisfying working with quality paint! My leather chair repair worked perfectly - I used Brick, Buttercup, Black and White to perfectly match a difficult off-white colour. The paint filled in the damage and looks amazing.
Worked out great
best shoe product
Over all great purchase but a little long on shipping
Hey Alexander, glad you liked the product. For the shipping, we do offer a rush processing option that allows you to cut the line to send out your order faster. For $2, totally worth it!
My experience using Brick color from Angelus was great. It always overecseeds my expectations all the time. Shout out to Angelus!!
Angelus is my go-to store for all of my cutomizing needs! Great selection of products and ordering is so simple!
I have painted shoes, couches, and lounge chairs with this paint.....it has a wonderful luster and makes all leather goods look brand new!
Had some trouble because I didn’t wait for the first coat to dry but was able to fix it and my bar stools look brand new
Question? Is this the maroon color for Cardinal Red ???
It doesn't to appear to be the maroon paint. however you may consider the scarlet red.You may have to mix up some colors in order to get the exact colorway. We highly suggest spot testing out the paints before applying on the project. If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at Info@angelusdirect.com thank you -Angelus Direct.

i only used the black so far and its been good. i havent used the product fully yet to experience it though, as far as the top coat (finisher) i have only just painted on mesh so havent needed it really. the primer, forgot what its called, was exploded when i received it, so it was empty when i opened package. i read nail polish remover was an alternative. but i'll most likely be ordering again just to have the proper materials. looking forward to actually using the product fully when i can make the time. thank you!
Awesome product
My husband happy with the paint....
Is this the maroon color for Cardinal 7s?
Love it, works great!
Didn't really like the color when I got it. It looked like a brighter red on the internet.
The brick was a nice color. I wanted to take the bright out of the fire red and a little of this mixed with the other red pulled down the bright nicely! In going to experiment with a few combinations for some tap shows I have next! Great products and instructions!
With this color I was able to create a dope brick them custom
How much paint would I need to cover a couch and loveseat there's no damage to them just want to recolor.
Gaby, thanks for reaching out. This is going to depend on how large the sofas are. You may need a Quart and a Pint to cover both couches. We do have a reference guide for you under the FAQ paint section. If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at Info@angelusdirect.com. Thank you!
would this paint be the closest paint to the red on the olympic 7s?
Hey there! This color has too much orange in it, I would actually recommend using the Infrared paint or the Chili Red paint Keep in mind you can always mix colors to get as close as possible Email us if you have any more questions! Info@angelusdirect.com Thank you
Quarts and pints, will you guys restock soon on all colors?
Hey there! At this time we are not able to get all the supplies we need to stock up on larger sizes of all colors, please email us so we can check the back for you If you have any more questions please email us directly at info@angelusdirect.com Thank you
Hi, I want to paint a leather love seat and chair, can you tell me how much paint I would need to accomplish this and when will the pint and quart sizes be availble again? If I have to order the 4oz, how many would I need?
Hey there! At this time we are not able to restock on anything larger than the 4ozs, our suppliers aren't able to give us what we need to restock on everything so we are only staying on top of the retail sizes at this time. If you email us with the color you need we can check to see if we have it in the back. I would assume you wouldn't need more than a Quart If you have any more questions please reach out to us directly at info@angelusdirect.com
is this the correct color for a jordan 4 alternate 89 midsole color if not what is the paints I have to get in order to match the color qnd also what white should I use
Hello! The Scarlet Red color would be the closest match for those shoes. You can use the regular white paint for the rest of the shoes. If you have any more questions or comments, feel free to contact us at Info@angelusdirect.com thank you
