Description
Angelus Leather Paint 29.5ml – the customiser’s first choice for shoes, trainers and more.
If you want to personalise, restore or completely transform a pair of trainers, Angelus Leather Paint is the name the pros trust. This high-quality, water-based acrylic paint is specially developed for leather and synthetic materials, prized for its strong pigmentation, durability and flexibility. When applied properly it will not crack, peel, fade or rub off, so your designs stay looking sharp wear after wear. Whether you are touching up a scuff, refreshing faded leather or creating a bold custom design, this handy 29.5ml bottle gives you brilliant, hard-wearing colour. It is a firm favourite with hobbyists, artists and professional customisers alike – and one I love seeing customers get creative with.
What sets Angelus apart is the way its paint stays flexible once dry. Ordinary paint would crack the first time you flexed the leather, but this acrylic formula moves with the material, which is why it has become the standard for sneaker customisers and leather artists the world over. With a little patience and thin coats, the results really are professional.
Why choose Angelus Leather Paint?
- Flexible acrylic formula – moves with the leather so it won’t crack or peel when applied correctly.
- Brilliant coverage – strong pigmentation gives rich, even colour.
- Durable finish – designed not to fade or rub off with regular wear.
- Works on leather and synthetics – ideal for shoes, trainers, bags, jackets and more.
- Endless creative options – available in a huge range of colours to mix and layer.
How to use Angelus Leather Paint
- Clean the leather and remove any factory finish with a deglazer or preparer so the paint can bond.
- Shake the bottle well and, if needed, thin slightly with a little water for the first coats.
- Apply thin, even coats with a brush or sponge, letting each layer dry before the next.
- Build up the colour gradually with several thin coats rather than one thick one.
- Once dry, seal your work with an acrylic finisher to lock in the colour and protect it.
Whether you are covering a scuff on a beloved pair or painting a design from scratch, the joy of Angelus paint is that it puts the creativity in your hands. I have seen customers breathe new life into tired trainers and turn plain leather into something truly one-of-a-kind – all from a few small bottles like this one.

Haico’s tip: preparation is everything. Take the time to deglaze the leather first, work in thin coats, and always seal your finished design with an acrylic finisher – that final step is what makes the colour last through years of wear.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to prepare the leather before painting?
Yes – for the best, longest-lasting results, clean the leather and remove any factory finish with a preparer or deglazer first so the paint bonds properly.
Will the paint crack when I wear my trainers?
No – the acrylic formula stays flexible, so when applied in thin coats and sealed it moves with the leather without cracking or peeling.
Can I mix colours?
Absolutely. Angelus paints can be mixed and layered to create your own custom shades, which is part of what makes them so popular with customisers.
What surfaces can I paint with it?
It is made for smooth leather and many synthetic materials, so it is ideal for trainers, shoes, bags and jackets. It is not suitable for suede or nubuck, which have a raised nap.
