Description
Angelus Leather Paint — Flat White (105), 29.5ml — a clean matte, no-shine white for custom trainers, shoes and statement leather pieces, in the flexible, hard-wearing acrylic the pros trust.
Whether you want to paint a crisp matte-white pair of custom trainers, brighten tired white leather or lay down a white base for lighter colours, 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 White (105) gives you a clean, true matte white 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 White?
- 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 White coverage. Bright white pigment that dries flat — a true matte finish with almost no shine. For the cleanest, most even white, apply over a pale or white base — on coloured or dark leather a first coat evens things out before the white shows its truest.
- 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
- Clean and prepare the surface first — an Angelus leather preparer or cleaner removes the factory finish so the paint can grip properly.
- Shake or stir the bottle well before use.
- Working on dark leather? Lay down a thin white base coat first — it makes this lighter shade look its truest and most even.
- Apply thin, even coats with a soft brush. Thin layers always beat one thick coat.
- Let each coat dry fully before adding the next. Two to three thin coats give the best, most durable finish.
- 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
Will Flat White cover a darker colour underneath?
White is the trickiest colour to cover with, so on dark or coloured leather build it in several thin coats — the first coat will look patchy, but each layer evens out. Patience and thin coats give the cleanest white.
How is Flat White different from standard White (005)?
Flat White dries to a true matte, no-shine finish, so it is ideal for a flat white look or as a base coat under lighter colours. Standard White (005) can be sealed to a sheen if you prefer. For a flat, matte white, this is the one.
