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 recently placed an order for Angelus paints, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! The Dirt Yellow color is exactly what I was looking for to add some warmth and character to my project. The Royal Blue is vibrant and adds a pop of color that really stands out. The White and Black paints are perfect for adding contrast and detailing.The quality of these paints is exceptional; they go on smoothly and evenly, with rich pigmentation that ensures great coverage. Whether I’m customizing sneakers, accessories, or other items, Angelus paints never disappoint. Plus, the fast shipping and excellent customer service make ordering a breeze.Overall, I highly recommend Angelus paints to anyone looking to unleash their creativity and bring their vision to life. They’ve certainly earned a permanent spot in my crafting arsenal!
Always happy with my Angelus orders. I use them to customize ice hockey goalie leg pads. With proper prep and sealing, the paint works amazing and holds up to pucks and ice. Way more affordable than ordering custom pads every time my kid wants “new pads.”
Cool.
Perfect color match for the school logo I’m painting👌
My go to yellow
Paint is great color and consistency. I was charged $5 for stickers that were listed as “free” (and I didn’t put in my car) though, so a bit frustrated about that. In general though I love Angelus and recommend to everyone.
I like the way the finish coat look on the shiit
Great product just what i needed 👌
I love the brand. The only thing is that I wish they had more colors in their collection.

Loved the product and how well it turned out on my shoe
Great quality, goes on evenly and smoothly, and perfect color. I would have a very hard time mixing paints to achieve this tone, so it's perfect.
This is probably the most rich yellow I've used in any paint. It's not too bright or pale, when the regular yellow falls short
Very great per usual!
This is one of the best products I've used and I will continue to order from this site.
Great experience, beautiful color.
Loved it, was the perfect color I needed
Never lets me down !!
Beautiful color, very pigmented and compliments the “Metallic Gold” paint perfectly.
I customize shoes for a living and your product alone has brought me more business its AMAZING. I could not imagine even trying anything else......
hard to hand brush. I think I will use it through air brush. this particular color needs a lot of coats but then cakes up and is visible. but still...cool color
Hey Kenneth, this color can be a little tough to apply. Hand brushing is definitely still an option, however you will need to apply in very THIN layers. It can be a little time consuming, but it'll get there! You can also use a base of a color of the like such as a Pale Yellow to help you reach that color a lot faster since it is a little more translucent than others. Let us know if you need help with anything else! info@angelusdirect.com
The DTRT Yellow worked perfectly on my custom Vans. Matched great.
Very nice color. I’m painting on flyknit, so the color got darker with each coat. Definitely a head turning shade!
Awesome!! Will always use Angelus!
Thanks kindly Angelus! I'm about to order some more paints soon! Having a blast with the unit! Love ya'll!
Doesn't really match with a lot, very bright color that's hard to use with other colors.
Hello Mark, DTRT Yellow can be a tough color to work with because it runs thin among some of our other paints such as purple, yellow, pastel colors and the entire neon collection. We recommend using a white base coat in order for the color to pop more.If you have any more questions or comments, feel free to contact us at Info@angelusdirect.com thank you
All of the products I order work beautifully and have allowed me to explore custom options I hadn’t before.
It was great it worked like I wanted
Perfect color on my project sneakers
I do restoration work, and these colors have never let me down; they have two qualities I can't do without--opacity and physical flexability! I have at least 3/4 of the colors, and will be getting the rest, bit by bit. Wish they made an OXBLOOD hue!
You should send more lol.
