How to use Angelus Paint on leather


Step 1: Clean your shoes or sneakers

Make sure that your shoes or sneakers are completely clean before you apply your chosen Angelus paint using Angelus Leather Preparer and Deglazer. This is an all-purpose cleaner and stripper for leather articles and can be used to de-glaze the factory finish as well as open the pores of your leather shoes allowing for more adhesion with your paint. If there is some color that you want to keep: block that off with Frog Tape. Wearing heavy duty rubber gloves, clean your shoes using a rag or a cotton ball. Wipe excess from leather.
 
If you want to custom your sneakers, use frog tape to block off any areas. When applying Angelus paints, always wear heavy-duty gloves to protect your hands and minimize mess.

Don't forget to first remove your laces and set them aside; you can replace them later with new laces.

Step 2: Apply the leather paint 

Once your sneakers are fully dry, you can now start applying the Angelus paint

Make sure the areas of the shoe that you do not want to paint are still masked off, or if you want, you can add black, silver, or other colored accents by masking off additional areas, thereby creating your own custom sneaker. If your shoes are dark, you should paint your shoes with a coat of white first. You will probably then need about 5 coats of Angelus paint for shoes to ensure an even color. Five thin coats wear better than one thick one.

Step 3: Dry your shoes or sneakers

Apply the leather paint with short even strokes, being careful to smooth out the edges to avoid getting ridges. Angled brushes are great for facilitating this. After you finish painting the first coat, use a hairdryer to assist in the drying process. A dryer does two things. First it "shrink-wraps" the paint to the shoe, and second, it smooths out any unwanted brush strokes by melting the paint right into the prepared leather. Apply the final coat, once again using a hairdryer to dry your leather paint, and now you are ready for step four.

Step 4: Remove the frog tape 

If you've sectioned off parts of the shoe with frog tape, for the sharpest edge, remove while the shoe paint is still a bit wet– don't wait for it to dry, or else you may have cracking issues.

Step 5: Finish with an acrylic finisher 

Leave your shoes or sneakers to dry for at least 24 hours, and then apply an Angelus Acrylic Finisher, which is like shoe polish for leather paint. This product is available in Matte, Satin, and High Gloss, depending on the finish you want. Once they're dry, you can put the laces back in.
