Angelus Leather Paint English Tan (019) 29.5ml – Flexible Acrylic for Trainers

Description

Angelus Leather Paint — English Tan (019), 29.5ml — the flexible, hard-wearing acrylic paint the pros trust for customising and restoring trainers, shoes and bags.

English Tan (019) is a warm, golden-brown tan with a lovely reddish undertone — that timeless, traditional leather-tan colour you see on classic brogues, boots and bags. It is ideal for recolouring or touching up tan and light-brown leather, freshening a faded pair or building a smart custom finish. As with the whole Angelus range it is a flexible, water-based acrylic that bonds to leather and many synthetics and, applied in thin coats, flexes with the material rather than cracking. The 29.5ml bottle goes a long way for repairs and full projects alike.

Why choose Angelus Leather Paint in English Tan?

• A warm, classic English tan. English Tan (019) gives that timeless golden-brown leather tone with a subtle reddish warmth — perfect for brogues, boots and tan leather goods.
• Flexes without cracking. The acrylic formula moves with the leather, so painted trainers and shoes keep looking sharp instead of flaking at the creases.
• Bonds to leather and synthetics. Works on smooth leather and many synthetic materials when the surface is properly prepared and cleaned first.
• Semi-matte to glossy finish. The 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

Do I need to prepare the leather before painting?
Yes — this is the single most important step. Cleaning the surface with a leather preparer removes the factory coating and lets the paint bond properly. Skip it and the paint is far more likely to rub or crack.

What does English Tan look like?
It is a warm, golden mid-tan with a gentle reddish undertone — the classic, traditional leather-tan look. It is lighter and warmer than a plain brown, which makes it a natural match for tan brogues, boots and bags.

Will it crack or peel once it dries?
Not if you build it up in thin coats. Angelus is designed to flex with the leather, so applied correctly it stays put through everyday wear. Finishing with an Angelus sealer adds extra durability.
