Angelus is THE reference for all sneaker customizers. This paint can also be used on leather goods, to create a complete original creation or even create small touches of vibrant color that are difficult to achieve with traditional dyes.
If the paints are stored properly in a room temperature place, they can be kept for up to 3 years.
Angelus is an American brand based in Los Angeles. It is recognized as the best leather paint brand in the world. Angelus paint is highly resistant to cracking, thanks in part to the silicone content in its composition.

How much paint for what surface?
To give you an idea, with 29.5 ml (1 oz) you can paint about 2 pairs of shoes. With 118 ml of paint (4 oz) you can work on a car seat or a small leather armchair.
Step One: Preparing the Shoe
|
Before customizing your pair of sneakers, you must prepare them to receive the first coats of paint and for this you must clean them (even if they are new).
To clean your pair, we recommend using Easy Cleaner soap (sold individually or in a kit). Using the brush and soap, thoroughly clean your shoes. Grab the microfiber towel and buff your shoes to make them shine. |
|
After thoroughly cleaning your leather sneakers, you now need to apply Angelus Deglazer . This product is essential because it will allow the paint to adhere well to the surface and last over time. This product also serves to degrease leather in a lasting way. Apply the deglazer to the entire area you wish to paint. Make sure the Angelus primer and stripper is allowed to dry for at least 24 hours before painting. |
Step Two: Preparation and Application of Paint
Now it's time to prepare the paint that will be applied to your shoes. Angelus paint is the most popular paint for customizing sneakers and leather accessories because its unique elastic texture provides excellent resistance to cracking.
It is possible to mix several paints to create the color you want . The neutral paint 'WZ720_004' can be used to lighten a color.
It is also possible to mix the paint with different additives:
- Thinner ( Angelus 2-Thin ): for use with airbrush paint.
- Duller additive: which reduces the shine of the paint.
Application of paint for leather shoes:
- Take a brush and apply the paint, taking care to apply very thin coats to avoid the paint cracking when drying and creating lumps.
- We also have refillable markers for outlining, detailing and touch-ups.
- Let the paint dry thoroughly between 2 coats (between 10 and 25 minutes) and for the last coat, let it dry for 24 hours.
- Before applying the 2nd coat, clean the brush well to remove all the paint, we recommend Angelus brush cleaner to effectively clean your brushes.
- Repeat the steps and apply 3 to 4 coats maximum to achieve a good quality result.
The different Angelus paints:
There are several ranges of Angelus paint for different effects: standard, pearlescent, neon, metallic and glitter.
Step Three: Applying the Finish
After applying Angelus paint, it is recommended to apply an Angelus finish to make the paint more durable and to give an extra look to your customization.
Angelus finishes all give your paint a different look, ranging from matte to high gloss . Apply thin coats to the dry paint using a small brush. Let dry between coats and apply 2 to 3 coats maximum depending on the product used.
After applying the final coat, let your pair of shoes or leather accessory rest for 24 hours.
We offer two types of finishes: "standard" (Acrylic) and "reinforced" (4-Coat). For each of these finishes, we have 4 levels of gloss for Angelus paint.
Angelus paint is a good choice for painting leather. It is highly pigmented with a good quality acrylic resin that allows it to color well. The addition of silicone makes it flexible and ensures that it will not crack over time. In addition, an anti-mold agent has been added to preserve the color for a long time.
The paint also penetrates the leather very well, but the coloring is less vivid than what you can get with alcohol paints, but the advantage is that it will give a fairly natural color. Since the paint is water-based, the drying time is a little longer than alcohol paint.
