Angelus Direct provides the best acrylic paints for your custom leather and sneaker projects. When you want to need an earth-tone red, pick up Terra Cotta paint. Perfect for achieving rich, durable finishes, it's the ideal acrylic leather paint for your next creative endeavor


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.

Best Lesther Paint

I use Angelus paints for my leather work. I like the large number of colors that are available. The paint goes on smoothly and covers very well. When I mix colors they blend very well without any streaking. Of the different leather paints that have used I definitely like Angelus paints the best and will continue to use them.

Worked extremely well!

Did not disappoint. Easy to use, beautiful results on my first pair of custom Air Force 1’s. Does take several (3-5) thin coats to get a smooth, consistent finish, but is well worth the results!!!

I’ve always had strictly amazing experiences with Angelus’s paint and the specific color “terra cotta” is exactly what you order.

Terra Cotta is my new fave!

This color is perfect! Exactly as pictured without needing to use a 2nd coat. Easy/Fast drying. Fragrance free (or so mild it's not noticeable). I used it on old white shoes to make them over and look new again - beautiful for anyone looking for a warm/neutral earth tone that's not too deep nor too light. My new fave! :-)

Terra Cotta Leather Paint

Loved it! Goes on very smoothly. As it dries, each coat actually becomes part of the leather. It doesn't just sit on top. Terra Cotta is a very rich color.

Terra Cotta

Great color blend in my opinion. I'm not a huge red fan but this pops on accents or would look great on a whole shoe!
