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.
Perfect color
The caramel paint was the main color used. With a little mixing I got just what I needed. The shoes were originally black and I got perfect covering.I wish I could send a picture.
Love it
good
These paints are always delivered in a timely manner! Its my favorite leather paint to use for my shoe customization. Colors are bold and long lasting.
Just the shade I was looking for, didn't have to mix colors.
Such a rich organic color. Hard to describe You got to see it too feel it. Couple it with your favorite blue or maybe with a burgundy man it looks good enough to eat.
Dislike color. Not caramel colored at all- more of a pale, bright orange
Hey there! We know it's been a bit! Can you please let us know that you found a color that you were happy with? If not, please let us know so that we can take care of you!
Amazing color
Amazing color
I needed a good color that could portray a doughnut. It worked beautifuly. 10/10
The first one I received was opened, but a customer service person helped me get a new one and it came in great condition! Can’t wait to use it on a project that I am working on!
Love, love, love this!!! Application was easy and I'm super pleased with the results on my chairs. They weren't leather so there's a slight stickiness to them, but I figured that pretty early. We're now working on the family room set in another color, and it's very satisfying 😌.
Caramel is carmel color can't find no other better than Angelus
I ordered the products and received it all within the week! The colors are true to what’s shown on the website, and it works really well!
It was exactly what I needed to paint my design for my jordan 6s I'm customizing, it's bold but doesn't overpower the theme I had so I highly recommend it
Great customer service
Top quality products as always
It was awesome to use them for the first time
The paint worked great and the color came out amazing!!!
The color is nice!
The paint colour is gorgeous and applies onto surfaces really well!
All I can say is I'm totally hooked on your products nothing I have used prior to these comes even close to comparing. I take pride in stating that I'm using your products when describing the process of painting the shoes that I sell.
The people were great to deal with and I love the paint.
Love the paint
