Angelus Brand makes the highest quality acrylic leather paint on the market for your custom sneaker projects. If your custom Jordan's need a little love, pick up a bottle of Angelus Grey Taupe Paint.


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.

Excellent paint

The paint was thick and creamy. Went on great. Perfect leveling and drying time. Excellent coverage. I only used a 1/3 of the paint purchased. I would highly recommend this paint.

These look amazing! Great job on this. Thank you for sharing the photos with us.

Paint used for shoe upgrade

I bought the paint to paint a pair of New Balance shoes that had gotten very scuffed. It worked beautifully and I'm now thinking of changing the color on another pair!

Very Smooth!

I like the smoothness and creaminess of this paint. The grey taupe has some cool undertones that blend well with the rest of the neutrals and earthtones on my current project. I originally wanted to mix the pigment myself, but decided to try to see how well the color looks premixed. I like it.

Perfect paints for detailed leather art!

I absolutely love Angelus paints — I’ve built up quite the collection, and every shade has been reliable and beautiful. I paint custom pet portraits on purses, and these paints are perfect for that level of detail. They layer smoothly, seal beautifully, and last. I recently picked up Grey Taupe and it’s been amazing as both an undercoat and a highlight, depending on the dog’s coloring. Couldn’t recommend these paints more for anyone working on leather or wanting their artwork to hold up over time.

Paint is working great so far!

I’m in the process of painting a pair of white leather custom Doc Marten boots (no laces). I’ve tried about half of the paints I purchased so far, abd they mix very easily to create a variety of colors. I’ve been using white and black to make some value range as needed. I haven’t yet actually used this color gray yet, but I’m hopefully it will be the color I that it looks like it will be on the site/in the bottle and work just as well on the boots. I would recommend this paint so far for painting on leather. This is my first time, so I can’t speak to how it holds up over wearing. These are a commission, so I hope they hold up!

Great color

Exactly what I was looking for. I always end up adding gray to the regular taupe so this color was perfect. Goes on smooth for clean line work.

Hello Stephanie! We really like how the picture came out! Great color choice and great work on the detailing. Keep up the awesome work!If you have any more questions or comments, feel free to contact us at Info@angelusdirect.com thank you

Grey taupe

This paint is amazing. It's easy to work with, inexpensive, and the result is beautiful. I did add some of the regular taupe color to the gray taupe to get the color I wanted. I thought the gray taupe by itself was more gray than taupe. I painted two club chairs and an ottoman. Everyone loves it and can't believe they're painted. It looks so natural.
