Angelus Leather Paint Copper (141) 29.5ml – Flexible Acrylic for Trainers

Description

Angelus Leather Paint — Copper (141), 29.5ml — a warm, gleaming metallic copper for standout custom trainers and leather, in the flexible, hard-wearing acrylic the pros trust.

Whether you want to add a rich metallic accent to custom trainers, refresh copper detailing or lift a leather bag, 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 Copper (141) gives you a warm, gleaming metallic copper 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 Copper?

• Flexes without cracking. The acrylic formula moves with the leather, so painted trainers and shoes keep looking sharp instead of flaking at the creases.
• Warm metallic copper shimmer. The reflective pigment gives a rich, lustrous copper finish — for maximum shine and depth, apply over a base coat, as black or a mid-tone base makes the metallic really glow.
• 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

What does the metallic copper finish look like?
It dries to a warm, gleaming copper with a genuine metallic shimmer — not a flat, matte colour. Over a darker base coat the shine looks deep and rich; over a lighter base it reads brighter and more coppery.

Does the metallic finish flake or rub off?
No — like all Angelus paint it flexes with the leather and, once sealed with an Angelus finisher, it is scratch-resistant and holds its colour through everyday wear.
