Best Angelus Products for Prepping Nike Foamposites

ProductWhy it's Essential
High-Grit Sandpaper (800-1500 grit)Scuffs the hard shell for better paint grip
Angelus Leather Preparer & DeglazerCleans and opens the surface
Adhesion PromoterEnsures strong paint adhesion on slick, hard materials
Applicator PadsEasy, mess-free product application


Step 1: Lightly Sand the Surface

Use high-grit sandpaper (800–1500 grit) to gently scuff the outer shell of the Foamposite. This helps remove the gloss and creates a textured surface that paint can grip.


Step 2: Clean with Preparer & Deglazer

After sanding, wipe the area clean using Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer. Apply it with a microfiber towel or applicator pad to remove any residue or oils left behind.


Step 3: Apply Adhesion Promoter

Once the surface is dry, apply Adhesion Promoter. This helps paint stick to the plastic-like material and prevents cracking or peeling.
