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.
Always a win ... all my designs are great with the A !!!
Slightly on the orangey side for me, but it does blend well with other colors to get the desired look.
I'm fulfilling this request fora review but I have not used the product yet. When my package was delivered it was coated in some of the paint. I opened the package to find that a significant amount of the product have spilled in route. I can only imagine the mess the carriers dealt with. This review is on the packaging until I actually use the product. 2 out of 5 because while the effort was made to properly package the product, it didn't hold up and I just believe that if a product has existed for a significant amount of time, proper packaging should already be mastered.
One of the best leather paints I have used.
Quality products.

Great rich cognac color!
Love the texture of the paint. Goes on smooth and the color is vibrant.
Harder than I thought but results on our sofa is beautiful.Cognac was a great choice.
Great product and shipping was fast
The color match was spot on, couldn't expect better. As for fixing minor scratches (from kitties), buy something else.
Hi Charles,Thank you for reaching out, for minor scratches we recommend sanding the area first before painting, hope this helps. If you have any other questions feel free to email us at info@angelusdirect.com. Thank you and have a wonderful day :D
This leather paint is in a class by itself. It stands above any other product on the market! Great product, great price.
The leather paint worked even better than I expected. I used it on leather club chairs that had stains that would not come out. The chairs look as good as the day I bought them, I used 4 different colors that were similar and applied with a soft cloth vs a brush, I highly recommend.
The color was exactly how it was described. Perfect color match.
Awesome product! Works like magic, color was just as expected and quick delivery.
I love the paint, goes on smooth and easy. Coverage is wonderful. The dye is also amazing too. Loved the freebies gifts. Nice touch.
Pretty good leather dye for the price
Excellent! Had large, black areas on my leather couch from wet dogs. The dye had worn off. Was quoted over $1000 to have fixed. Saw this product and ordered a few colors. Perfect match. Looks brand new. No sign of it wearing off. Thank you!!!!
It wasnt the color i was looking for
It was amazing,love my new customized vans thanks to your paint
Paint's great, quick shipping
I bought some metallics specifically for a mermaid tail I was painting on a purse. The paints worked so well with the leather. Could not be happier with the outcome.
Goes on like butter! This is the dream paint you never knew existed! Worth every penny!
This is an excellent product to renew shoes and handbags when the leather gets scuffed or worn. I have used it for years with great results. Just paint it on. The bottles come with a built in brush, about the size of nail polish. You will need an applicator for larger surfaces.
Fast shipping and good product. The paint was super easy to apply,gave excellent coverage and dried quickly. Although I didn't think the color was all that great, I have received several compliments on my purse since painting it with Angelus leather paint.
Kinda brown for it. Had to add allot of white. I could be wrong though
How much would be required to paint a leather desk chair from black to cognac?
Hey Patrice, Thank you for reaching out, please email us a picture of the leather desk chair to info@angelusdirect.com to assist you further. Thank you and have a wonderful week.
I am trying to change the color of my black suede roller skates to a lighter color. I read that suede dye would not work because black suede cannot be dyed to a lighter color. Will this paint work well on suede?
Hey there, We do not recommend using paint on suede. This is because the paint will harden over the material and completely take away the look and feel of the original suede. Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out to us directly at: info@angelusdirect.com
Cognac is only only available in 4 Oz ..I was going to order a sampler When will the larger oz. be available ?? Also do u suggest mixing colors if I’m going for a cognac buttery Carmel look ..sty Jo Anne

Will one bottle do a whole sofa?
