Quantity

Angelus Matte 4-Coat is a matte clear coat for painted sneakers and leather that protects your work with a smooth, low-glare finish. It's urethane-based, so it adds heavy scuff resistance on top of your custom work.

Choose a 1 oz. or 4 oz. bottle. It's made in the USA.

How to use it

Let your Angelus Paint dry completely.
Brush or airbrush it on.
Let each coat dry before adding another.

Brushing tips

Use a fine, soft brush like our Angelus brushes. Heavy or cheap brushes leave strokes.
Level it out as you go with a hair dryer or heat gun.
Don't keep brushing once it starts to dry, or it can turn hazy.

Airbrushing tips

Spray a full, heavy coat without letting it drip.
Don't spray too light. A thin mist won't build a strong layer that adheres.

What customers say

“The 4-Coat Matte is the best finish that I have used. You can see the true colors without all of the glare and it has such a smooth feel.”

★★★★★ Nick G., Cleveland, TN

“This finisher is super durable and has a smooth matte look on the cleats I'm painting.”

★★★★★ Brandon, Birchwood, TN

“Excellent matte finish. Very thick though. A little harder to apply than the regular finish.”

★★★★★ Kristopher G., Farmington, MO

Common questions

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.

Professional results made simple

I will be using this from now on whenever I want a true matte look. I like to use a bit more finish on certain designs to add extra protection to the site, and I find that other "matte" clear coat products often leave a bit more gloss than desired. The 4-coat matte does an amazing job of protecting the product while truly leaving it looking matte.

Best product for finishers

Every single shoe I’ve painted, I mix some duller with this and the shoe comes out with a factory-looking finish, not shiny (because of the duller!) but perfect because the paint stays on there, doesn’t scratch off, and makes it look way more professional.
