Full details
Angelus Metallic Leather Paint is designed for artists, sneaker customizers, and DIY enthusiasts looking to restore or customize leather, vinyl, and canvas items with a brilliant, durable metallic finish.

FAQs
Does this paint crack when used on shoes?
No, the Angelus formula is designed to be flexible, meaning it will flex with the leather rather than cracking or peeling during normal use.
Do I need to seal the paint after applying?
Yes, it is highly recommended to apply an Angelus finisher after the paint is dry to provide added protection and achieve your desired sheen level.
Can I use this on canvas shoes?
Yes, this paint is compatible with canvas, leather, and vinyl, making it very versatile for sneaker customization.
How do I clean my brushes after using?
Since it is a water-based acrylic paint, you can easily clean your brushes with soap and warm water immediately after use.
Can this be used in an airbrush?
Yes, but you may need to thin it with a professional airbrush thinner to reach the correct consistency for your airbrush equipment.
Troubleshooting
Paint is peeling or rubbing off
The surface was not properly deglazed or cleaned before application. Strip the area, clean thoroughly with a deglazer, and reapply.
Paint appears streaky or uneven
You are applying too much paint at once. Switch to thinner, lighter coats and allow for more drying time between layers.
The metallic finish is dull
Ensure you are stirring the paint thoroughly before use as metallic pigments can settle at the bottom of the bottle. Also, ensure a finisher is applied to lock in the shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper preparation is the most critical step for success. Begin by cleaning the surface thoroughly with a leather preparer or deglazer to remove factory finishes, oils, and waxes. If painting canvas, ensure the material is free of debris. When using an airbrush, you may need to thin the paint slightly with a compatible thinner to ensure smooth flow. After the final coat has dried completely, apply an Angelus finisher (available in various sheens) to seal the paint. This extra layer protects the metallic pigments from rubbing off and provides a professional final appearance. Always store the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dry place to prevent the paint from drying out.
