Satin 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.
Which 4-Coat sheen looks most like a factory finish?
Satin. It has a light sheen that's close to how most new sneakers look.
I love the look and feel of finish
Hi Kristie, we're so glad you love the Satin 4-Coat! Thanks for sharing your positive experience. This is an adorable painting. And we love how you used the product for this effect.
Excellent !
Not all projects look great all glossy or in a matte finish. This is the perfect in between finish
Excellent quality ! Very impressed
The Satin 4-Coat did give a nice finish to my leather dye project. I'll explain why I gave it 3 stars and I think it would be good for Angelus to inform customers that this might happen to them. I want to give a heads up to anyone using the Low VOC Leather Dye along with the Satin 4-Coat. I dyed my tan LaDuca heels red that I’ve been dancing in for about 5 years, so the leather was worn in some places. With only the Red Dye on my heels the color was a deep fuchsia red, which was lovely but not the color I was going for. When I added the Satin 4-Coat it completely changed the color to a bright pink red with orange undertones. Luckily this pretty much matched the color I wanted, but the color change was shocking and I wish I would have known that the Satin 4-Coat could change the color so dramatically. I dyed my friend's LaDuca heels with the Blue Low VOC Leather Dye and the color was perfect so I didn’t use the Satin 4-Coat because I was concerned it would change the color. This was my first time dying leather and I learned a lot.
All Angelus products are amazing and I haven't been disappointed with a single thing, including the Satin 4-Coat.
Hi Thomas, thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear you're happy with the Satin 4-Coat and our products overall. Nice shoes btw!
The satin coat made it look like it was bought that way instead of painted.
I live in Brazil and I only use Angelus products because they are the best in the world.
Easy to apply. Nice finish.
Works amazing on my motorcycle gloves! The community loves the results too!
This helped us complete one of our projects!! Easy to use and we have received many compliments
Perfect for my coating needs. Angelus products are consistently high quality. I know I can always count on these products to serve my purposes well.
I used Angelus leather paints to upgrade an old pair of grey leather boots for Burning Man. I ordered the Satin 4-Coat to keep them protected as best as I could and they did AMAZING! When I got home, I simply ran then under water and all of the playa dust came right off. There are almost no scratches or scuffs and they held up beautifully. Thank you!
good stuff!!
I painted a pair of black boots with the French blue paint then applied this finish to one of the boots. I was so terribly disappointed in this product as my boots were looking so beautiful before and this product ruined them. I should’ve just left it with just the paint. This went on so streaky and even after drying I could see every single brush stroke. I did another coat and there is still the same problem. I don’t know what to do from here. I only applied the finish to the right boot so you can see the comparison in the photo. Also while writing this I realized both of my bottles of finish (satin and matte) are 1 oz when I had actually ordered the 4 oz bottles.
The satin clear coat went on without picking up the color coat underneath. Given that it's clear, it's hard to tell how evenly it covers so you have to pay close attention as it's applied. After it's dry, you can't even tell it's there -- as it should be. And the "Satin" nature of the clear cuts the gloss of the color coat. Hopefully it'll extended the service life of this leather steering wheel project. I suspec it will.
Tricky at first but due to my habit of not reading instructions first. I made many calls during this project and the customer service is just wonderful! The products they have are top grade. Transformed my pitiful leather ottoman to like new!
These are pictures of my daughters pads finished with 4coat satin. Yes it looks rough, but this is after TWO YEARS of year round hockey, 5-7 hours a week, every week. We're talking 600-700 hours of punishment to these pads and the top coat. You can see that yes, it did wear off in spots, but so did the actual material the pads are made of. This finish was subjected to temperature extremes, water and teenager abuse. Highly recommended product, and a fantastic company to work with as a customer.
Hi Greg, thank you so much for being a loyal Angelus customer! We are happy to hear that our paints are tough enough to withstand years of punishment for a contact-heavy sport!
This is by far the best sealer I've used up to this point and I love it
Thank you for your review, Stephanie! We genuinely appreciate your business, and we're grateful for the trustyou've placed in us. We're glad you are satisfied with your purchase.
After about one month, either the Satin 4 Coat or the Leather Conditioner created pink streaks ALL OVER my finished leather project!!!I used only Angelus products from start to finish ( deglazer, paint, satin 4 coat, leather conditioner). I let each coat of every product that I used dry for a few days since I was not in a rush. I'm VERY disappointed because I've spent over $80 in products (between ordering online & my local craft store) and I now need to strip off all of the paint and start over! The paint is great, but the other products are NOT good quality. I really feel they should refund me for every dime I've spent!
After applying the 4-coat in Satin brush - lightly and evenly, just like your videos suggested - the finish remains milky and opaque. How to fix this and get the soft sheen Satin promises? I’m working with soft, supple leather (handbag). Thanks!
