Angelus Leather Paint Flat Black (101) 29.5ml – Flexible Acrylic for Trainers

Description

Angelus Leather Paint — Flat Black (101), 29.5ml — a true matte, no-shine black for custom trainers, shoes and statement leather pieces, in the flexible, hard-wearing acrylic the pros trust.

Whether you want to paint a blackout, matte-look pair of custom trainers, kill the shine on glossy black leather or repaint scuffed black boots with a flat finish, 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 Flat Black (101) gives you a deep, true matte black 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 Flat Black?

• Flexes without cracking. The acrylic formula moves with the leather, so painted trainers and shoes keep looking sharp instead of flaking at the creases.
• Flat Black coverage. Strong pigmentation lays down a deep, solid black that dries flat — a true matte finish with almost no shine, ideal for a stealth, blackout look on trainers and boots.
• Bonds to leather and synthetics. Works on smooth leather and many synthetic materials, as long as the surface is properly cleaned and prepared first.
• True matte (flat) finish. Dries flat with almost no shine straight from the bottle — no glossy sheen unless you choose to add one with a topcoat.
• 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 matte finisher to keep the flat look 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 Flat Black different from standard Black (001)?
Flat Black dries to a true matte, low-shine finish straight from the bottle, so it is perfect for a stealth, no-gloss look. Standard Black (001) dries with a little more sheen and can be sealed to whatever finish you like. Pick Flat Black when you specifically want that flat, matte black.

Will it stay matte after sealing?
If you want to keep the flat look, seal with a matte finisher — a glossy topcoat will add shine. Left unsealed it is already matte, but a matte finisher adds protection while keeping that no-shine finish.
