Angelus Acrylic Leather Paint's are flexible and will not crack when prepped and applied properly to leather items. Once completely dry, Angelus Taupe Leather Paint will be completely water proof.

Our Taupe Paint is water-based for easy clean-up and is mixable for countless custom colors! Perfect for customizing or restoring your sneakers or handbags. Choose this acrylic leather paint for shoes and sneakers for long-lasting, vibrant results.


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.

Not taupe

I ordered a few colors because I know that computer screens don’t always portray color accurately. Once my order arrived, I was disappointed to see that “Taupe” is not a taupe at all, but a warm neutral tan color more like camel. Thankfully, I ordered the “Grey Taupe” which is a true taupe (brownish grey).

Hi Amy! I am sorry that you were not happy with your Taupe color you ordered. Please feel free to reach out to us via email, maybe there is another color that you would like to try instead?

The product was shipped promptly

The product was shipped promptly and was easy to use and looked great. The only thing I was not happy with is that I ordered a Taupe and your taupe color looks nothing like taupe. It's a camel color. Thank you

I ❤ this paint!

The paint was easy to apply and dried quickly. It transformed our grubby ancient cream couch into a new looking greige one. We mixed taupe, beige taupe and dark **** in equal amounts to create a really up to the minute shade. The finish is superb with perfect bond to the existing leather.

Hello, I have got a problem with my Order #102633. I didn't received any mail about it. Could you please correct it: [****]. Thank you very much and Angelus paint is very fine. But angelus taupe is very difficult to shake it, it's sometimes too yellow.
