“They looked brand new.”

I inherited an old pair of Birkenstock white sandals that had yellowed and developed light brown spots on the leather, but were otherwise intact. After using this paint…

Angelus Collector Edition Uni Blue is an acrylic leather paint color-matched to the classic "UNC Blue" seen on several Jordan shoes. Use it to restore those shoes or bring the same color to any custom sneaker, boot, or bag.

Each bottle is 1 oz. We've made Angelus products in Los Angeles since 1907.

Before and after you paint

Clean the surface first. On leather, take off the factory finish with Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer. Prep midsoles with Deglazer the same way so the paint can grip. When you're done, seal it with Angelus 4-Coat.

Pro-grade paint, made easy for first-timers

Angelus is the go-to paint for first-time customizers, and it's the same professional-grade paint fashion, footwear, and entertainment companies use to make costumes, exclusive pieces, and finished products. You get commercial-grade quality at everyday prices.
Thin coats go on smooth, and the color builds with each one.
Want to warm up first? Try a few strokes on the Angelus Leather Test Swatch, real leather with a smooth side and a suede side.
You can always adjust. Dried paint comes off with Deglazer, or you can simply paint over it, so you can keep going until you love it.
Free step-by-step tutorials on our YouTube channel and FAQs walk you through it. Not sure about a color? Check the Color Chart. Unused products can be returned within 30 days.

What customers say

“The uni blue covered the black almost completely after only three coats. It is very “matte” which was fine to me. It matched perfect with the color scheme i was going for.”

★★★★★ Deuce A., Riverdale Park, MD

“The uni blue was a perfect match and made the whole customization way more easier!”

Common questions

Will Uni Blue match my shoes exactly?

It's matched to the original color, but older pairs can fade or yellow, so test on a hidden spot first and adjust with a little White or Black if you need to.

Can I paint rubber midsoles with Uni Blue?

Yes. Prep the midsole with Deglazer, apply thin coats, and seal with 4-Coat.

Can you airbrush Collector Edition paint?

Yes. Use an airbrush with at least a 0.35mm nozzle, and thin the paint with Angelus 2-Thin if it needs to flow more easily.

How much paint do I need?

A 1 oz. bottle usually covers 2 to 3 pairs of shoes completely, and goes much further for midsoles and accents.

PAINTING LEATHER

1. Prepare leather surfaces using 3-5 passes of Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer using our applicators, cotton balls, or a rag. (acetone can also be used).

2. Wait for leather to dry a few minutes. When dry, wipe with microfiber cloth to remove any remaining dust particles.

3. Apply Angelus Paint with paint brush, airbrush (at least 0.35mm nozzle) or sponge. Apply 3-5 coats or until desired coverage has been reached. Less coats can be used for line work and detail work.

Make sure to leave to dry 15-30 minutes between layers.

4. Allow to dry for at least 24 hours before allowing paint to bend or flex. Be careful of flying lint or debris getting on the shoe to avoid imperfections. Longer curing time ensures better durability.

5. To add extra protection or customize the finish, apply Angelus 4-Coat Clear Coat in Flat, Satin, Glossy, or Matte. Use 1-2 layers for the best results. 1-2 layers on top.

PAINTING CANVAS/DENIM - SHOES, CLOTHING, AND MORE

1. Prep by cleaning the surface with a cleaning product like our Angelus Easy Cleaner Kit. It is necessary to get out all the oils and dirt that may be sitting in or on the canvas.

2. Make sure there is adequate dry time and that you wipe off and get all the cleaner out.

3. (Optional) If you want to make the paint soak in and not be as rubbery textured on canvas we suggest using our product 2-Soft mixed with our paint. You can paint Angelus paint directly on canvas without it but it just will feel more like a screen print then part of the shoe. When using 2-Soft you must heat set.

4. Paint with 3-5 light layers of Angelus Paint. Make sure to leave to dry 15-30 minutes between layers.

5. Leave to dry.

(Optional) No additional protection is really needed as the paint has soaked into the canvas. If you want to change the sheen to a matte or glossy look instead we do suggest our 4-Coat Clear Coat.

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.

Highly recommend

This product is so good. Colors are amazing. I started a hobby about a year ago customizing jeans but wanted to start with the best in the market and I seen a lot of artists that I started following in social media using Angelus so I was like this is the one and I don’t regret it. I love the products and I’ll continue to use them. Beginner or pro, this is where you want to get your supplies.

Love this color!!

University blue paint

Really nice university blue color for sneaker models after 2016. I would say it’s a nicer dark Carolina instead of like a light powder blue which I would wish the company would make one day a nice powder blue that matches 2010/2026. Always amazing product products. The company is one of the best in the world always and forever.
