Hey guys, Robbie here. I just painted my dads favorite chair bright green with this paint. He's fucking pissed and he beat my ass good, paint still looks fresh though. Great stuff you guys make!
Actually if you have a fabric couch where all the fabric around the couch is washable (white and lichter colours are better) you can dye te couch in a different colour in the washing machine. I do suggest you do this if you're parrents are away for a long weeken d or a week because per dyeing proces you wash the same parts 3 times and it needs to dry afterwards.
I've been wanting to paint my work boots for awhile. My daughter bought me some Angelus paint for Christmas. Now I'm going to order the prep stuff and finisher.
Angelus officially became my go-to brand for leather paint, I've painted my entire motorcycle jacket with ease, quick drying, flexible, great covering and pretty cheap; a huge plus is that the paint becomes flexible after at least 24 hours, which is great considering that the jackets keeps moving around. it is also great that the brand can be found worldwide, as I've bought the paint somewhere in Europe.
@too soon to plan so far, so good! i do recommend you to use their acrilic finish. i've used black over white, red respectively, no chipping, no issues so far, and you're moving quite a lot on a chopper lol. as for the acrilic finish, you can paint the gear with either matte or gloss paint, as the finish will make it look satin, gloss or matte, depending on your finish choice.
Thank you for the tips. There are some things here that you've mentioned that are a given that some people like myself might tend to forget. As reminders or as unknown things, your video is fantastic.
I have a really cool idea. Y'all should make backpacks with the angelus logo on them so people who make customs can showcase their work in public/at school
I just painted my shoes with pink and gunmetal glitterlites, I added scented pigments to the finisher now my shoes are melon scented!(It's like scratch and sniff stickers, any time the shoe is touched the scent is released)
I don't know why this video was recommended to me and I didn't want to make this before but now I really wanna make a Soldier 76 leather jacket that's actually durable and not just for cosplay.
You can use some leather preparer and try to break it down but we never really suggest using the paint straight onto fabric if you want it to remain the same softness. Although it may not feel the same it will function the same and look great though.
TOP TIER GREETINGS ANGELUS AND SOPHIE. GLAD TO SEE ANOTHER VIDEO FROM YOUR HARDWORKING REGIME. APPRECIATE THE TIPS AND QUICK RESPONSES FROM YOU GUYS. BOCOCO
Definitely gonna be using this for my Jaggi armor. There's no way I'm gonna find a purple to orange to white faux leather. Really neat and informative video though~! Thank you
I know you mentioned you do not paint the rubber portions of the sole/mid sole. But is there anythibg you can do to paint them if you're trying to fix an old, yellowed sole? How about the portion of a mid sole that is a harder, foam like material?
My first project with Angelus paint is to change a brown Portland Leather bag into a black one. We can’t get degazer here in CA (which I don’t mind), so I prepped with 71% alcohol. It’s going well so far. The coverage is great. Next project will be customizing a leather Gabs shopper that I got for suuuuuper cheap. EDIT: Apparently, I CAN get Deglazer here! Time to deglaze EVERYTHING. Except donuts.
STEP 1Ensure the leather surface is clean and dry to the touch.STEP 2Apply a small amount of Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer onto a rag, sponge, applicator pads, cotton balls, or Q-tips.STEP 3Wipe down the desired area and allow the product to completely dry. This will remove the factory paint/finish, leaving a clean surface that Angelus Paint will best adhere to.
Heather Donigan It's mostly different from acrylic paint because it has a much higher flexibility when dry, and is less prone to cracking. You can't easily apply normal acrylic paint to leather and suede without risking ruining the materials, so special leather paints are necessary.
A project I’m planning on doing once school ends is painting the swoosh Nike logo on my Air Force ones, gonna paint it a dark green, leaving the entire shoe white🔥
A lot of videos use acetone to prep the surface as does this video when it comes to the couch. But for all of the other products you use Angelus preparer & deglazer. So what is the difference and when do you suggest using acetone vs your branded preparer/deglazer?
Nevermind, it's in your FAQ. "Acetone has much stronger chemicals which can harm or burn leather due. Leather Preparer is a safer alternative". A little research also told me 70% isopropyl alcohol should work and if it needs to be stronger to add some lemon juice.
Either one will work perfectly when it comes to prepping leather. Our Preparer and Deglazer is not as harsh as pure acetone but other than that, they can be used for the same projects.
Hey your videos are fire. You sold me on this show custom shit. I'm going to order a starter kit and start customising my old shoes. Your videos are amazing.
Thanks for this...I just got a pair of brand new asics and I need the grey mid sole to be painted black. I’m really nervous coz I don’t want to ruin my shoes but with this video I should be okay..🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi there. I’ve been having an issue with the angelus acrylic matte finisher turning my artwork yellow. And it’s quite visible on areas where the colour is white. I thought maybe there was an issue with my finisher so I touched up the white areas w a new coat of paint and reapplied a brand new bottle of finisher and same thing happened. Could u advise what I could be doing wrong ??? Thanks
It will depend. If you are working with a dark-colored shoe, and you want to go lighter in tone, adding a base layer such as our Mist or Light Grey would definitely help. If you are going from a lighter color to a darker color, you should fine just applying the paint after you've prepared the leather.
I painted my MX boots red following all of yours guides to the T. The paint on the leather is staying on relatively well, have sections falling off and just not great. The plastic sections are all totally gone and looks absolutely horrible😅
Serious question. What if I wanna only paint slides? Are there specific acrylic paints? What is the finisher called and what is the cleaner thing you put into the cotton?
Yes, just make sure to properly prep before painting. Use our Leather Preparer and Degalzer to remove the factory finish to allow the paint to properly adhere to the surface. For slides, since it's a synthetic material, you may want to do a little light sanding and/or adding adhesion promoter for extra durability.
Excellent! But can I change my blue suede shoes with leather paint white base and then apply another color light,for example pink? Suede is same a leather,really? Thank you!!
i just found out about Angelus lol and my reason to buy acrylic was to do my jordan 5's and i never expected it to be used as an example in this video lol how convenient😂😂👍
