Angelus Leather Paint Bronze (142) 29.5ml – Flexible Acrylic for Trainers

Description

Angelus Leather Paint — Bronze (142), 29.5ml — a deep, antique bronze for rich metallic custom projects, in the flexible, hard-wearing acrylic the pros trust.

Whether you want to add a warm metallic depth to custom trainers, refresh bronze hardware detailing or lift a leather accessory, 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 Bronze (142) gives you a deep, antique metallic bronze 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 Bronze?

• Flexes without cracking. The acrylic formula moves with the leather, so painted trainers and shoes keep looking sharp instead of flaking at the creases.
• Deep antique-bronze shimmer. A warm, darker metallic with real depth — layer it over a base coat for the fullest, most reflective antique-bronze finish.
• Bonds to leather and synthetics. Works on smooth leather and many synthetic materials, as long as the surface is properly cleaned and prepared first.
• Genuine metallic shimmer. Reflective pigment gives a real metallic sheen rather than a flat colour, and once sealed it stays scratch-resistant and holds its 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. For the richest metallic finish, apply over a base coat first — a black or mid-tone base deepens the shimmer, while a white or pale base keeps it bright.
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

How is Bronze different from Copper?
Bronze (142) is deeper, warmer and more antique-looking, while Copper (141) is brighter and more orange-gold. Choose Bronze for a rich, vintage metallic and Copper for a livelier shine.

Does the metallic finish flake or rub off?
No — the acrylic flexes with the leather and, sealed with an Angelus finisher, the bronze is scratch-resistant and keeps its colour through everyday wear.
