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.
Excellent product and good price. The delivery was fast and reliable.
I love this product. The color, quality, and price were perfect to accomplish my project.
The perfect color-match to the original color I needed! Thank you!
This whole color is AMAZING!!!!
I love this paint. It is easy to use and goes on smoothly. My chair looks really good!
Seems like a great product & company. Worked well to correct some of the worn leather area on my boots. I like that I could get multiple sample sizes for a reasonable price since I wasn't sure exactly which color to choose online and this way, I can mix if needed as well.
Perfect color for some of my purse projects. It matches the patina on most purses. Angelus paints are the best and it's the only one I use now.
Great little fabric paints! I painted a pair of shoes and made them SO much nicer—have gotten compliments on them since then!
More of an Amber undertone. No I do mix it with other colors to get the desired look I need.
Beautiful warm tan color. Highly recommended.
The best paint that $ can buy , I only use Angelus for my leather projects .
It looks beautiful.now time will tell if it works
Just needed to paint a small section of my shoe. Paint was the "perfect" color! I use Angelus products frequently. Sometimes shoes just need a touch up and the small bottle fits the bill. Reasonably priced and delivered in a timely manner. Thanks Angelus
Easy to use and I achieved the even look I was unable to get with leather dye
Item arrived as described
angelus paints have become a staple for me as an artist, the paint never disappoints !
This was my first time using this after reading other recommendations. Was so surprised.. This product just works great Came out better than expected… actually looks professional So glad I bought it
I really loved the consistency of the paint and the wide array of colors. This tan color is perfect for a base for dark skin tones if doing portraits, and also just a good option for brown items overall.
Absolutely perfect. Best paint in the world
I like their products and the whole shopping experience with them was a 5 Stars one. Highly recommend it
Quality is really good but it took 5 bottles to do a loveseat with a color change. Be prepared to buy lots of product!
It was very cool experience thanks so much !!!
Wonderful. Restored appearance of faded leather chair and ottoman. Great coverage and paint colors are exactly as shown in ad. Bought the 12-color kit for shoe/handbag touchups! Friends are amazed by product - and it is so affordable!
Easy to apply. Matches well with tan law enforcement gear.
I really like the paint, I bought several colors so I could mix them together to find the perfect color and I was shocked at how little I used. I covered a pair of boots and a medium sized purse and I have a lot left over still. Haven't worn them yet so I'm not sure how the paint will last but so far I'm very impressed.
Came in good time. Product worked beautifully. Could have used a wool dauber in the bottle, but had to purchase separately.
I loved the color and did my whole living room in it. Saved myself thousands from not having to buy new furniture. Easy to use, I did no prep either. Looks gorgeous, has for a long time now.
Very good product and good service
I ordered 3 colors to ensure a match for my chestnut Tieks. The regular Tan shade worked perfectly. Easy to use and works great!
Great color…this matched my Cole Haan British Tan shoes which was perfect!
