How do I paint a leather bag, jacket, or boots?Updated 5 hours ago

Same as leather shoes: deglaze until the shine is gone, brush on thin coats of Angelus Leather Paint, and seal with 4-Coat. Keep the coats thin where the leather bends, like straps, elbows, and boot creases.

  1. Clean the leather with Easy Cleaner and let it dry.
  2. Wipe it with Leather Preparer & Deglazer, 3 to 5 passes, until it looks dull.
  3. Paint thin coats and let each one dry before the next.
  4. Let it dry at least 24 hours, then seal with 4-Coat.

A 1 oz. bottle covers a small to medium handbag. For a large bag, purse, or jacket, a 4 oz. bottle is the safer pick.
