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 can't give an actual review because I still haven't received the product. It has been stuck in the mail somewhere between Oklahoma and my home address for 10 days. I actually ordered the same product again hoping that one of the orders gets to me one day. Having said that, I've ordered from Angelus several times in the past and never had this issue.
Very dissatisfied with the color of this paint. I was looking forward to repainting my shattered backboards and the paint was way off. Never had an issue with their paints until this color. For reference the shoe to the left was painted with the angelus paint.
We know it's been awhile, but we are reaching out to make sure this was taken care of for you!
This is my 3rd time buying this color and will keep buying it
Painted my fusions a “reverse shattered backboard”colorway, and it turned out perfect!
A little bit of a darker orange than the original shattered backboard AJ1 by itself. Great color nonetheless. Probably should have attempted some mixtures before applying
This is the third time I've ordered this color. It goes on smooth and super consistant!
My Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Electro Orange that I turned into Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Shattered Backboard turned out better than I expected simply because of this paint!! Thanks and from now on it's only Angelus paint or nothing!!
Perfect match for an SBB custom and quickly became one of my favorite collector's edition colors to use.
Almost the same match for the 2016 Shattered Backboard 1’s. Almost like a matte color but gets the job done!
Excellent

Damn after reading reviews thought it be good but the paint is not orange it’s more of a pinkish tone. Disappointed especially with seeing everyone recommend and use angelus.
Sorry to hear that paint did not work out for you. We did in fact match this to a pair we have in the office. Keep in mind that the leather panels can absolutely vary. Not to say this would have a pink tone to it. We are more than happy to look into the issue if you email us at info@angelusdirect.com with a LOT# to check. Please let us know.
This color is as good as the original shattered, if it's not exact then it is very close to it. Highly recommended if you scuffed up your very rare Shattered shoes.
Wonderful and will definitely be getting more!!
The color is perfect and the paint is high quality. Definitely recommend! :)
Definitely recommend for repainting your SBB or using as a custom like i did with my electro orange 1s
Exactly the right color I needed.
The color was perfect I’m very satisfied
The color was perfect I’m very satisfied
Color is AMAZING! Super pigmented and just a dream to work with. Also Staff in store are great! Can't wait to stop in again to get some more custom colors. PS that Boba Fett statue in the office is EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!
Match up perfect with what I had planned for my custom Gatorade 1's!! Angelus is the best!!
The color is awesome, very vibrant. Great quality paints.
Absolutely awesome!!!
Looks great! Really happy with it!
I recently touched up a pair of SBB 1’s and Angelus never disappoints with their collectors edition paints!!! Color matched right out of the bottle!!! No mixing !!! And they look factory again!! Thanks Angelus!!!
it was a great shade
It was a great product the color really popped.
Product worked just as advertised, turned my satin ones to a beautiful piece
