Angelus Leather Paint Capezio Tan (163) 29.5ml – Flexible Acrylic for Trainers

Description

Angelus Leather Paint — Capezio Tan (163), 29.5ml — a warm, natural mid-tan for custom trainers, shoes and statement leather pieces, in the flexible, hard-wearing acrylic the pros trust.

Whether you want to match classic ballet-tan leather, repaint tan trainers or add a warm, natural tan to a custom project, 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 Capezio Tan (163) gives you a warm, natural mid-tan 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 Capezio Tan?

• Flexes without cracking. The acrylic formula moves with the leather, so painted trainers and shoes keep looking sharp instead of flaking at the creases.
• Capezio Tan coverage. Strong pigmentation lays down a warm, even mid-tan — ideal for full custom projects or natural tan accents with a soft, skin-tone warmth.
• 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. Apply thin, even coats with a soft brush. Thin layers always beat one thick coat.
4. Let each coat dry fully before adding the next. Two to three thin coats give the best, most durable finish.
5. 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 Capezio Tan cover a darker colour underneath?
It has good coverage, so over a lighter tan, beige or mid base a couple of thin coats give a warm, even tan. Over black or very dark leather a thin lighter base first helps this natural tan show its truest.

Is Capezio Tan pink or brown?
It is a warm, natural mid-tan with a gentle pinkish warmth — the classic ballet-shoe tan. For a deeper, browner tan try English Tan (019); for a lighter neutral, look at Beige (070).
