Angelus Leather Paint Midnight Green (052) 29.5ml – Flexible Acrylic for Trainers

Description

Angelus Leather Paint — Midnight Green (052), 29.5ml — the flexible, hard-wearing acrylic paint the pros trust for customising and restoring trainers, shoes and bags.

If you want to customise a pair of trainers, touch up your leather or breathe new life into a 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 Midnight Green (052) is a sophisticated dark green that adds real depth to smart custom work. This water-based acrylic paint 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 surprisingly long way — enough for a full pair of trainers with a few thin coats.

Why choose Angelus Leather Paint in Midnight Green?

• Flexes without cracking. The acrylic formula moves with the leather, so painted trainers and shoes keep looking sharp instead of flaking at the creases.
• Deep, dark bottle-green coverage. Strong pigmentation gives a rich, almost-black green that covers darker bases well in a few thin coats.
• Bonds to leather and synthetics. Works on smooth leather and many synthetic materials when the surface is properly prepared and cleaned first. Not suitable for suede, nubuck or waxy exotic leathers.
• 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 smart custom trainers, deep green accents and restoring dark green leather 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

Is Midnight Green very dark?
Yes — Midnight Green is a deep, dark bottle green that can look almost black in low light and shows its green tone in daylight. Because it is so dark it covers other deep colours nicely. A test patch in good light shows the true shade.

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.

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.
