How do I paint leather shoes?Updated 5 hours ago

Strip the factory finish with 3 to 5 passes of Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer, then brush on 3 to 5 thin coats of Angelus Leather Paint and seal it with 4-Coat. The paint stays flexible once it's dry, so it bends with the shoe instead of cracking.

1. Clean the shoes with Easy Cleaner and let them dry.
2. Wipe the areas you'll paint with Leather Preparer & Deglazer, 3 to 5 passes, until the shine is gone.
3. Tape off anything you don't want painted.
4. Brush on thin coats, letting each one dry 15 to 30 minutes. Most colors cover in 3 to 5 coats.
5. Let the shoes dry at least 24 hours.
6. Seal with 1 to 2 layers of Angelus 4-Coat for scuff protection and the sheen you want.

Angelus Paint is the same professional-grade paint fashion and footwear brands use, and it's the go-to for first-time customizers. Made a mistake? Once it's dry, take it off with Deglazer or paint right over it.
