This is such a good resource and great overview for preparing and finishing leather (and other materials) paint projects. So well produced too. Answered exactly what I needed to know and some other questions I didn't know I had!
My brand new Margiela Tabis were ruined by a highly recommended shoe repair/restore place in Dallas (they mainly deal with high end designer). The leather is different colors, stiff and sticky. I guess I’ll have to remove all that paint and start over and do this myself! Glad a FB group I’m in recommended this video. It gave me hope and a list of items I need to buy

When dying sock liners with leather dye- do you need to rinse the liner after?
I just received Angelus Jet Black Leather Dye as a couple of shoes have the leather and color have rubbed off on the front end of the shoe. I'm looking forward to using the dye, it didn't come with a dabber, so I'll use a piece of rubber sponge. That's disappointing.
If anyone can give advice, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm currently customizing a pair of Jordan's and I'm wondering what's the best method to get accidental leather dye splashes on the midsole, fabric nike air tongue tag, and on the edges of the leather cuts. Besides taping the shoe better, what's the best way for me to get it out? Should I use the deglazer?
Can you use paint on surfaces like foam ? Specifically the Nike calm slide?
Thanks 😊

Hi! I’ve never used leather paints before. My question is when use the paint on leather do I need to use any thinning agent. When I paint with acrylic paints on canvas I use water to thin the paint. What’s supposed to be used with leather paints?

Yes. That would be the perfect item for that application. You need to take off the oils in order for the dye to penetrate into the leather nicely.

hi im wondering what the difference between finisher & coat? thankyou!
Do you have any videos on mixing dyes or paint specifically to get different colors?
Hi! I hope you will see my question. :) I recently did some restoration on the leather trim and handles of a Gucci purse. The items I used were all Angelus- the leather preparer and deglazer, cream acrylic leather paint and finished with the acrylic finisher. Now, the handles of the purse have a sticky feeling to them. I have tried wiping them down with a small amount of rubbing alcohol but they still feel sticky. Did I do something wrong that's causing this? Do you have any suggestions on how to fix it? Thank you, so much! :)
What happens if I don't heat the paint mixed with 2-soft? Will the paint fall apart? I'm planning on repainting the pleather clothes of my 1/6 scale figure but that piece doesn't come off, and I'm not comfortable blowing hot air on the figure itself :( Also, can we mix the 2-soft with finishers?

Question: What if i don't have a heat gun, what other method do you think will be effective?
If the paint starts to harden in the bottle or clump up can you revive it??
Got a question that doesn't seem to be covered here. Let's say I want to do a project involving veg-tanned leather, which will be tooled and stamped in various ways to create patterns, textures, and designs. But here's the thing: I want the leather to be white. Now, getting chrome tanned leather in white is pretty simple, but chrome tanned leather cannot be tooled. Nor is it possible to "dye" leather white because that's not how white works. So my question is how can one achieve a white finish to a leather project that will be seeing a LOT of wear? To be specific, I'm talking about a wrestling championship belt, like the WWE Intercontinental Championship; a finished product that is going to see a lot of travel (being stuffed into luggage with or without a protective cloth sleeve), a lot of flexing, bending, even "folding" (as much as one can "fold" 5-9oz. leather), as well as likely being used more than once as a blunt-force weapon. Simply put, it needs to be able to take a beating. Dye isn't an option as I mentioned, and paint under those conditions is highly likely to crack, split, or flake off entirely. I've found only a couple videos of people whitening leather by highly diluting the paint (9:1 water to paint ratio) and brushing on 3-4 coats (letting it dry completely between coats), upping the amount of paint of paint in the mix, 3-4 more coats, and keep repeating that process to the point of having applied literally dozens of coats over the course of several hours before seeing even marginal results, days before it's noticeably white, and several coats more for good measure so it doesn't scratch off instantly. There has to be a faster way. I had a theory that maybe "cutting" white paint with the "neutral" dye instead of water (or at least adding it to the mix) might help the paint permeate and speed up the process but I don't know if acrylic paint CAN mix with the dye compound. And I don't know how such a mixture (or even the "slow build-up method I found others using) might affect the tooling. I don't want to end up losing any of the detail in the process. Any suggestions on how to to make tooled, veg-tanned leather a crisp, satin/glossy white?
Is finisher removable with deglazer? If my painting has finisher can I paint again in top of that or start form zero with deglazer again? Want to remove it because it's too shiny tho is 600 BTW I would just add that any chemical is dangerous for health! Always paint in a ventilated area & with a paint mask if possible. 🤙🏻
What do I use as a finish such as lacquer or a Resist on tooled leather?
When painting Angelus White I can’t seem to get any kind of coverage on my leather sneaker. I’m trying to paint small white flowers on top of a light purple colour but the white is almost going on transparent. Would it be normal to be needing to build up the white with multiple layers, like 4-5 layers?
Hey, can i use angelus matte acrylic finisher on a custom jeans?
Would you recommend doing a light “scuff sand” on a leather Bible? And if so, do I do it before the preparer and deglazer? I can mix different colors with each other to make other colors, right? I mean, I don’t have to use anything more to be able to do that? Aaaannnnnd….one last question…for now lol. Is it okay to mist water over the paint every now and then to keep it from drying out? Or will that change up the paint in some way? I’ve never used this type of paint before and don’t know much about it. I use regular acrylic paint and acrylic chalk paint…so this acrylic leather paint is my first rodeo.🤠 Thanks for this video!! Looking forward to giving this leather paint a try! 👍🏻
@AngelusBrand
2 жыл бұрын
I would use the sanding method. It is the safest way when you are not sure how soft and delicate the leather is. No leather preparer is needed in that case. The paint will be fine once dry, however it wouldn't hurt it if you want to do that with the water.

The 2-Hard will harden the paint onto the surface. This will make the paint less flexible. With that in mind, we recommend the paint alone. You can sand the area as well, that will give you a better surface to apply the paint to.

How long does the paint need to cure before applying the finisher? And how long should one wait between coats of finisher? Also, if a furniture is painted- is there a recommended curing time before you use it (like other paints for example where it is usually a week or so..)? Thanks 😊😊

Depending on temperature will affect how long it takes paint and finishers to dry, so there is no specific time, just make sure to use thin coats and wait for each layer to be fully dried. After you are finished, we do recommend waiting at least 24 hours before using the customized product.
Hey, hey! love your products and this video was good refresher after quite the hiatus I took. Which brings me to my personal question that wasn't addressed in this video NOR could I find a definitive and sure-fire answer elsewhere. My hiatus was quite long (about a year), and I've kept all my materials and paints. All of the paints that were opened prior to have gotten lumpy and, in some cases, have a marshmallow consistency. How do I go about bringing the paint back to it's original form without ruining the color? As for the marshmallow consistency, is it over for those particular paints and need to be replace?

@@barbie3166 So here's what was told to me. Take note I'm paraphrasing here, it's been a while since I was given this information, but I'll do my best. Essentially what had happened to the paint, was that the "marshmallow" consistency was an indication that the paint had separated like expired milk. Once this occurs in old paint, there is no helping it. Ultimately, I had to throw out ALL of my supplies since I could no longer use them. Looking back, my hiatus was longer than a year to most of the paints I haven't gotten a chance to use yet. However, had there been only some clumps to deal with, the solution is adding a bit of 2-thin to the paint a little at a time until the clumps were completely gone. So whatever I did use that had clumps in them became a chore getting all the clumps out, so I just tossed them as well. I hope this helps XD

Yes the longer the dry time the more durable they will be. Humidity will always be bad for paint. Whatever dry room with a nice temperature above ~70 degrees would be ideal.

The heat gun is only necessary when using paint mixed with 2-Soft to "Heat-Set" it. Otherwise the paint will not dry properly.

This is a tough one since they are so flexible and not a leather that is sturdy to carry the paint. There are many steps you can take to prevent the cracking.

We recommend that you look into a fabric dye for that one. We do not test the dyes on canvas.
For dyeing, do I need to wash it so the dye sticks and doesn’t leak/stain

That would be considered "dip dying" and is always recommended if you can do that to rid of any over saturation of the dye.
If I run out of 2-Thin, what can I substitute to finish the job with the airbrush? Water? Solvent? Thanks

There is not anything that we can suggest. Using water compromises the flexibility of the paint.
So i want to color a pair of dr martens smooth 1460s. My question is would the white smooth leather take to dye or would i need to use paint. If i use paint would i still be able to clean and condition them like normal?

That is most likely painted. The paint in this case would be your best option. You would just need to prep accordingly.
