How it works
How to use it
Let your Angelus Paint dry completely.
Brush or airbrush it on. Glossy finishes show every stroke, so airbrushing gives the smoothest shine. If you brush, follow the tips below.
Let each coat dry before adding another.
Good to know
High Gloss 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.
Very high gloss it is awesome.
This product is excellent and holds up well on the fire shield that I make.
Always reliable and I have been customizing for about a year now and Angelus hasn't let me down once
High gloss- just what I wanted
Used it to seal my clogs for work. Looks great with thin coats to cover the shoe.
I really like the shine ✨
All of the products that I have purchased have been exactly what I wanted and satisfied with the outcome. I recommend that you at least give it a try.
waisted time and money and had to deglaze and re-paint. This high gloss is no good used with a paint brush. I followed the directions precisely using a paint applied watery and clumpy. I waited for the air bubbles to settle after shaking the bottle, so there were no clumps in the bottle. The areas that managed to apply smoothly was streaky and didn't simulate patent leather at all. This video and the other tutorials all use an air brush and/or heat dryer thingy, but your instructions on the bottle does not say these tools are required. You should state on the bottle that an airbrush is required because I had to deglaze my entire project and start over....waist of money in my opinion.
Sorry that you had issues with the product. Using a hand brush will work, it can take some time to apply without brush strokes, but it will self-level. Using an airbrush is definitely ideal with this item, but not necessary. When tested, we used both handbrushes and airbrushes. Please email us so that we can send you a bottle of a product that you can use and are happy with. info@angelusdirect.com
I used Angelus white leather paint on a saddle that I was planning to use for a costume. Several thin coats of white paint were applied and allowed to dry thoroughly (like for DAYS). I applied this topcoat to the seat, and it discolored the white with yellow streaks! If you look at the photo, the seat has yellow streaks, but the flap of the saddle (below the stitching) is bright white where I didn't apply this. Can this be fixed?? Am I using the wrong product?
Hi Christy,I'm sorry can you please email us with the LOT# of the white paint as well as the Lot# for the High Gloss? This is not something that should happen. Was there any previous color on that saddle? Did you use a fresh brush for both applications? info@angelusdirect.com
Super simple application and incredible results!
Amazing protection and quality.
Everything is nice I can’t wait to get my hands on everything especially know that I took the sd footwear class just waiting on my sewing machine to take it to the next level thanks
Did an entire leather jacket, black to silver, looks amazing as is but holy moly the factory style sheen on this finisher is a step beyond anything Angelus had ever had before. I am absolutely adding this to my art arsenal.
Everything you need in one place
Thank you Angelus
The perfect finish for my cycling shoes!
Nice

Angel us really happy with what you giys have to offer for sneaker paint and more
Great product.
Works good love it
I just ordered this 4-coat, but it will also be my first time using it on painted leather. I feel like i need to find the right brush to apply it on, as when it dried, there were streaks from the brush i used on the larger area covered (sealed a vintage LV Alma bag that i painted.) Hopefully when i reapply, i can find a better brush to use.
Must have been using it for years and its the only way I will go when it comes to gloss
I love this high gloss coat. Easy to apply and a must have to seal any paint project.
Love everything about angelus products
