Tips on how to get the most out of our paint. Prep and additives are the most important part to make your work durable and long lasting.
Prep for Leather
Always remove the factory finish before painting (on leather and most non-fabric materials) by doing 3-5 passes with Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer.
Paint on Fabrics
Mix Angelus Paint with 2-Soft to keep painted fabrics soft and more laundrable. Perfect for painting on fabric shoes, jackets, hoodies, and so much more!
Paint on Plastic
Mix Angelus Paints with 2-Hard to paint hard surfaces such as plastic and metal. Perfect for painting the plastic on shoes, water bottles, flasks, and more!
Finish Strong
Use our all new 4-Coat Finishers to change the sheen of your artwork, as well as protect your work with these urethane-based finishers. Available in 4 sheens.
Airbrushable
Use Angelus Paint straight out of the bottle in our Airbrush (or any airbrush with a .5mm or bigger nozzle). To thin our paint, use 2-Thin. TIP: Use a strainer.

This is a color I fell in love with and incorporated into a French-inspired theme for a leather jacket.
Angelus Direct has the most beautiful and vibrant colors for restoring vintage designer handbags and wallets. This color was a perfect match for the Dior wallet I restored. Thanks Angelus Direct you are awesome!
Matched perfectly
Absolutely Stunning!!! The color shown doesn’t do this justice!! This is rich, beautiful, and truly a deep dark blue. What a stunner! Goes on beautifully and easily. I painted my roller skates, and everyone thought they were brand new!! See images attached! Amazing what paint can do!
These look so nice! love the new look. And the back stipe was a nice touch!
I was super impressed with how smoothly this paint went on. I painted some black faux leather boots and did two coats which covered them perfectly. Hardly made a dent in the bottle of paint. I haven’t used the boots yet do I can’t say how the paint will hold up.

I was having trouble re-coloring some leather shoes that had originally been painted. Dyeing did not color them evenly. So I deglazed them again and used this paint to color what were patchy purple shoes. It worked wonderfully. I never recolored shoes before in any manner. The paint was easy to apply and went on very evenly. I finished with Angelus Satin acrylic finisher. They look awesome. Now I want to paint more shoes!
I haven’t used this particular color (French Blue) yet, so I can’t comment on it specifically, but if it performs as well as all the other colors I’ve used then I’m sure I’ll be more than satisfied. I’ve changed the color of at least four pairs of shoes and touched up both a Bottega Veneta and a YSL handbag, with stellar results. I’m collecting colors so as to venture into some actual artwork on some other pieces. The paints are super nice to work with and have had no negative effects on my expensive brushes. They wash out easily(a little Fells Naptha and some vibration helps). They have a long work time yet dry rather quickly.
Thank you for the in-depth review. We appreciate that you took the time to write a few sentences about your experience with your expensive bags!

I use Angelus paints on things often. I have used it on pleather fabrics for cosplay and its held up great 95% of the time. On some types of pleather it doesn't bond well, so proper prep helps. But on real leather, nothing is better! It never fails. I love this product.
Glad that you have found prepping is the key! Thank you for being part of the Angelus family!
Great deep rich navy blue color perfect for my air Jordan 9s
First off, it’s an unbelievable color way. I’m soo excited to transform a pair of shoes first opportunity I get. I love the Jordan inspired colors, I like to mix and match my shoe’s colors.
Amazing although you have to be very gentle and patient when applying it
As you can see in the photos, this was for a bag project (I've taken up bag restoration during quarantine). This Fendi Peekaboo was a nude colour and I turned it into a dark blue, a dark teal to be exact. I experimented a lot with blues and French Blue is the perfect hue for me, however for this bag I added a small amount of Flat Black to give it some depth (5:1 ratio). The teal keeps its integrity but the black adds a neutral touch. Applied Matte Finisher after 24 hours of the second coat. Perfect. I also used the colour to dye my son's mesh Adidas with impeccable results. I adore Angelus products.
Great color to match the Jordan Retro 6 Midnight Navy
Picked this blue up to do some paint repair on Jordan 12’s and it was a perfect color match. No mixing necessary. Applied in areas in light coats and it came out absolutely great. The Collector’s Series paints are spot on in my experience. Can’t beat ‘em!
I might have won Christmas gifting this paint set, delivery was smooth to Canada and everything was packaged nicely. The giftee is loving it so far
Love the colors 🙌
Great for your custom Jordan’s
It was great to use and it really went well with the shoes I painted
Perfect for doing shoes!
Lid was cracked, half the product leaked out and got all over everything in the bag it was sent in. On the bright side the paint that was left over matched my Jordan 12 Obsidians perfectly.
Hello Crystal, sorry to hear that! the silver lining of the paint matching makes us happy. Did you reach out to us regarding the issue? We are more than happy to send you a fresh bottle. Let us know! info@angelusdirect.com
Use el color en unos Jordan 12 y me encan to alta calidad
Good thanks for everything! Hope to order more stuff in the future
I was hesitant to use this product on my obsidian 12’s. I ordered it based off of the reviews and received my order today. I painted my shoes and I was very impressed. You now have a new customer. I will be purchasing some more colors soon.
starting to get the hang of it
