FAQs
Does this paint crack on sneakers?
No, Angelus Leather Paint is specifically formulated to remain flexible, so it will not crack when applied correctly to moving areas like the toe box.
Can I use this on fabric or canvas?
Yes, this paint works very well on porous materials like canvas, though it may have a slightly different finish compared to leather.
Do I need a sealer?
Yes, an acrylic finisher is highly recommended to protect your artwork from scratches, water, and everyday wear.
How do I clean my brushes?
Clean your tools immediately after use with warm water and soap while the paint is still wet.
Is it safe to use on vinyl?
Yes, it is formulated to bond effectively to vinyl surfaces, provided the surface is cleaned and prepped properly first.
Can I mix colors?
Yes, all Angelus acrylic leather paints can be mixed together to create custom shades.
Troubleshooting
Paint is peeling after drying
The surface was likely not prepared correctly. Ensure all factory finishes and waxes were stripped using a leather deglazer before painting.
Streaky finish
Avoid loading too much paint onto your brush at once. Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat, allowing each layer to dry completely.
Paint feels sticky
The paint has not fully cured. Allow the item to sit in a dry, room-temperature environment for at least 24 hours before applying a finisher.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve professional results, proper preparation is non-negotiable. Begin by using a leather deglazer to remove the original factory coating, wax, or oils, which allows the paint to bond directly to the material. Apply the paint in thin, light layers using a soft-bristled brush or a high-density sponge. Once the project is complete and the paint has cured for at least 24 hours, apply an acrylic finisher to seal the surface, protect the paint from scuffs, and achieve your desired sheen level. Always clean your brushes immediately after use with warm water and mild soap to prevent the acrylic from drying in the bristles.
