Flat 4-Coat questions, answered
Quick answers from our counter staff.
Should I use 4-Coat or Acrylic Finisher?
Use 4-Coat when you want heavy scuff resistance. Angelus Paint is sturdy on its own, but 4-Coat adds an extra layer of protection. If you just want to change the sheen, use Angelus Acrylic Finisher.
Should I brush or airbrush 4-Coat?
Both work. Airbrushing gives the smoothest result, especially on glossier sheens. If you brush, use a fine Angelus brush and level it with a hair dryer or heat gun.
Why does my 4-Coat look hazy?
It's usually from brushing while it's drying. Brush it on, level it with heat, then leave it alone to dry.
Why isn't my 4-Coat sticking?
The coat is probably too light. Spray a full, heavy coat without dripping so it builds a strong layer on top.
Is Flat flatter than Matte?
Yes. Flat 4-Coat has the least shine of any 4-Coat, with a dull finish that goes beyond matte.
good clear coat
paint dries quick and sticks well
Your products are superb. I have gotten nothing but your products through the years and will continue. No one is my opinion comes close. I have made a lot of nice pieces of artwork mostly on shoes. Keep it up, I highly recommend anything from them
The product is quite unbelievable! I bought the flat and it does as said, makes whatever medium you have and makes it shine free! Keep in mind it may have a bit of a chalky / velvety feel after it dries but not so much on the look. Keep that in mind for whatever project you have. I am going to try that matte next but I highly recommend it!
Easy application and consistent product through the years. One of my favs for shoes
Very nice finish!
Great product, we will be in touch
There's no other paint that I will ever use. Angelus is the best ever!
Love the quality! Just painted some shell toe adidas for my first big shoe project. The paint was glossy, and the flat sealer really took the gloss out of the paint. Exactly what I was looking for.
Amazing products. I wish I knew about this brand 25 years ago when I first tried to paint on leather sneakers and paint cracked off with cheap acrylics. This is by far the only way to customize anything the right way so that it lasts.
This product is exactly what I needed to take the shine out of my custom sneakers and make it look lole they were made in a factory. The paint design was camouflage and I wanted them to have the flat look. They kinda looked like suede afterwards. I love the product and will continue to use it.
Even better than the old finisher
Glad to hear it!
The item ordered just was like expected. Everything worked out very well I am more than satisfied with my purchase. Shipping was really fast so service was A+ too.
I was looking for something a little more matte than the Matte finisher and the Flat Finisher was exactly what I needed to top off my shoe art.
Fast shipping and truly amazing product! Used it on a pair of Air Force shadows and I absolutely love them! Highly recommend
High quality
love this product it does what it says! however it does make it a little cloudy over certain acrylic paints.
10/10
I like everything about this company
Paints are great!
This is my first time with flat, but I have matte and gloss. Maybe a bad batch? Maybe heat and humidity with shipping? Bottle looks fine- milky white but left a “scum like finish” over a turquoise mix x2. I’d be wary. I shook it very well for a minute plus on the 2nd item and used very thin amounts- same scum texture
It definitely does what it is supposed to. I decided to go with a satin finish on my bag. The small part I tested went on smooth and alittle goes a very long way. I definitely suggest a soft brush. I couldn't find the brushes I bought for this so I used a soft makeup brush I never used. Worked perfectly!
The flat 4 coat is pretty good. It goes on pretty good and pretty easy to work with. I would use a very light coat on the 1st one and stretch it out as much as you can. Then do your 2nd coat regular.
This product is great! I love how it gave an aged look to the custom job I did for a friend.
My only "complaint" is that it doesn't spread as long as paint does so you have to move quickly if your painting on. Might be my question to invest in an airbrush :)
It gives my shoes a nice matte finish
Great sealant
