Angelus Leather Paint Bone (155) 29.5ml – Flexible Acrylic for Trainers

Description

Angelus Leather Paint — Bone (155), 29.5ml — a soft, pale bone off-white for custom trainers, shoes and statement leather pieces, in the flexible, hard-wearing acrylic the pros trust.

Whether you want to paint light custom trainers, add a natural off-white tone or refresh faded bone-coloured leather, Angelus is the name to know. It is the gold standard for leather paint, loved by sneaker customisers and leather crafters the world over — and Bone (155) gives you a soft, pale bone off-white to work with. This water-based acrylic bonds beautifully to leather and many synthetics, and once it is on it stays put: it flexes with the material and will not crack, peel or fade the way ordinary paint does. The 29.5ml bottle is a perfect starting size and, thanks to the strong coverage, it goes a long way — enough for a full pair of trainers with a few thin coats.

Why choose Angelus Leather Paint in Bone?

• Flexes without cracking. The acrylic formula moves with the leather, so painted trainers and shoes keep looking sharp instead of flaking at the creases.
• Bone coverage. Soft, warm-neutral off-white. For the truest, most even finish, apply over a white or pale base coat — on dark leather a thin white undercoat first lets this pale shade show its real colour.
• Bonds to leather and synthetics. Works on smooth leather and many synthetic materials, as long as the surface is properly cleaned and prepared first.
• Semi-matte to glossy finish. The final look depends on your topcoat, so you can tailor the finish from understated to high shine.
• A little goes a long way. The 29.5ml bottle covers a full pair of trainers with a few thin coats — perfect for trying a project without committing to a large tin.

How to use Angelus Leather Paint

1. Clean and prepare the surface first — an Angelus leather preparer or cleaner removes the factory finish so the paint can grip properly.
2. Shake or stir the bottle well before use.
3. Working on dark leather? Lay down a thin white base coat first — it makes this lighter shade look its truest and most even.
4. Apply thin, even coats with a soft brush. Thin layers always beat one thick coat.
5. Let each coat dry fully before adding the next. Two to three thin coats give the best, most durable finish.
6. Once your final coat is dry, seal with an Angelus finisher to lock in the colour and protect against wear.

A little tip from the shop: preparation really is everything with leather paint. The customisers who get flawless, long-lasting results are the ones who take their time cleaning and deglazing the leather first, then build the colour up in thin, patient coats. Rush it with one thick layer and you will see cracking at the creases; take your time and seal it properly, and a painted pair will look sharp for years. If you are new to it, always do a small test area first.

Frequently asked questions

Will bone show up over dark trainers?
For a true, even bone on black or dark leather, lay down a thin white base coat first, then build the bone on top. Straight over a dark colour a pale shade like this looks muted, so the white base is well worth it.

Is bone white or more of a cream?
It is a soft off-white with a gentle warm-neutral tone — a touch away from pure white, close to natural bone. If you want something warmer and creamier, try Vanilla (160); for a slightly deeper tone, look at Dark Bone (157).
