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.
Absolutely love the paints, very easy to work with
I am in LOVE with this color. It is beautiful. It has a gorgeous, almost golden sheen that creates a deep, rich look. I am always so amazed with Angelus and frequently share the projects I have done with Angelus paint and spread the word about the high quality and ease of application as well as the incredible durability. I hope the sheen with just the paint continues when I apply the satin clear coat.
Fabulous quality product with unbelievable results!
a base when Im doing wood grain. I do a coat of this, and then do detail in bowler brown or chocolate over the top. Ive used it on shoes, hats and a flag.
For NB Miata owners, note that Capezio Tan is a nearly perfect match for the stock tan interior color. I bought some Dark Taupe as well, thinking I might have to darken the Capezio Tan, but it's so similar to the Mazda color that I don't think I could get it any closer. Perfect!
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Great paint but the color in the picture and what I received is two different colors. In person it’s darker im looking for the exact color from the picture
Paint was excellent. My chair looks wonderful. I could’ve be happier.
Haven't used this paint yet, but colors look great!
Just what we need
Best paint around!
I love this paint it’s the only paint i use of leather and fabric.
It’s perfect

Easy to apply, easy to clean
I absolutely loved this color. It definitely pops again darker colors. I will most definitely purchase again.
It was awesome i loved this product
terrific product. customer support provided help in achieving a good mix to adjust the color to match my application.
Thanks for making my fave pair of dance shoes look like new!
It was the color I was looking for and my custom came out really nice .
Works great, just like the other colors I use. Awesome for skin tones
Seriously love every product I have ordered from Angelus so far. Paint, brushes, cleaner. Worth every penny spent.
Easy application, dries quickly, very pigmented!
Amazingly matched my shoe strings
Love it!! Quality paint and it stays. It doesn't smudge or bleed like others do.I will definitely be purchasing more.Thanks
Really easy to use and far exceeded what I thought it was going to look, feel and wear like. Cat and dog scratches blended in with a sanding step. Multiple spot coats, and an overall finish coat dried quick and the next day was ready. Restored these to near new condition. I custom mixed 4 oz of tan & into a quart of cream and got a close match. For $40.00 of supplies I restored 2 couches to like new.....now I keep the St Benard of it!!!
My friends cant believe it is not a new couch. Wonderful paint to use. I would recommend it. Will send an update in a few months time to see if it stands up to wear.
Perfect for what I was trying to do!
Wanted to try your paints for a while & was not disappointed, there awesome!! Very happy with product, service and shipping time to Australia 💕
Wish I found out about this paint before I tried other leather fabric products to renew the age cracks in the dried out bonded leather of my couches & vinyl chairs. This stuff makes it look like new but you have to add the matte finish to it. Wish they sold a matte finish paint for couches & chairs. Matching the ivory color I needed has a challenge. Wish there was an Ivory sold. Bone too green. Vanilla too yellow. I needed a yellow/pink/tan tone for my couches. First tried Vanilla & Sand, then the Taupes. Vanilla & Capezio Tan worked best. I got Black & Rich Brown for my two computer chairs.I mix it in a mini cup to get the color right, then repeat. The paint dries shiny for shoes so you have to add a little matte finish to it. It works great when you get it right.The color dries darker so be careful.
highly recommend this product, I am updating the interior of my car and it looks like a brand new vehicle
What do I use on sugar cane HOKA sandals ? Dye or paint ?
Hi there,We, unfortunately, do not have any recommendations for your sandals because paint or dye will not penetrate them enough to keep them from cracking.
