First step: Preparing the shoe
|
Before personalizing your pair of sneakers, you must prepare it to receive the first coats of paint and for this you must clean it (even if it is new).
To clean your pair, we advise you to use the Angelus Easy Cleaner cleaning kit . Using the brush and soap, clean your shoes thoroughly. Take the microfiber towel and polish your shoes to make them shine. |
|
After having thoroughly cleaned your pair of sneakers, you must now apply the Angelus Deglazer . This product is essential because it will allow the paint to adhere well to the surface and last over time. This product is also used to degrease leather in a lasting manner. So apply the deglazer to the entire area you want to paint. Be sure to let the Angelus primer and stripper dry for at least 24 hours before painting. |
Second step: Applying the paint

Now is the time to prepare the paint that will be applied to your pair of shoes. Angelus paint is the most famous 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 . It is also possible to mix the paint with a thinner ( Angelus 2-Thin : for using airbrush paint).

Application of Angelus paint:
- Take a brush and apply the paint, being careful to apply very thin layers to avoid cracking the paint when it dries and forming clumps.
- Dry the paint well between 2 coats, for effective drying and in good condition, we advise you to leave the paint in the sun for a few 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 obtain a good quality result.

Step Three: Applying the Finish

After applying Angelus paint, it is best to apply an Angelus finish to make the paint more durable and to give an extra look to your customization. Angelus finishes all bring a different look to your paint, ranging from Matte to high gloss . Apply thin coats to the dry paint using a small brush. Let dry between each coat and apply 2 to 3 coats maximum depending on the product used. After applying the last coat, let your pair of shoes or leather accessory rest for 24 hours. |
We have 4 finishes for Angelus paint: Flat, Matte, Satin and High Gloss.
Angelus paint is a good choice for painting leather, it is very pigmented with a good quality acrylic resin which allows you to color the leather 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 maintain the color for a long time.
The paint also penetrates very well into the leather, 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. As the paint is water-based, the drying time is a little longer than alcohol paint.
