About this product
Angelus Red Paint is an acrylic leather paint in a classic red, for customizing and restoring sneakers, boots, bags, and other leather goods. It's water-based, stays flexible once dry, and covers in 3 to 5 thin coats on a properly prepped surface.
Choose 1 oz., 4 oz., pint, or quart. We've made Angelus products in Los Angeles since 1907.
Works on
- Leather shoes, bags, and furniture
- Canvas and denim (add Angelus 2-Soft for a softer feel)
- Wood
- Plastic and metal, mixed with Angelus 2-Hard
Before and after you paint
On leather, take off the factory finish first with 3 to 5 passes of Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer. When you're done, seal it with Angelus 4-Coat for protection and the sheen you want.
Pro-grade paint, made easy for first-timers
- Angelus is the go-to paint for first-time customizers, and it's the same professional-grade paint fashion, footwear, and entertainment companies use to make costumes, exclusive pieces, and finished products. You get commercial-grade quality at everyday prices.
- Thin coats go on smooth, and the color builds with each one.
- Want to warm up first? Try a few strokes on the Angelus Leather Test Swatch, real leather with a smooth side and a suede side.
- You can always adjust. Dried paint comes off with Deglazer, or you can simply paint over it, so you can keep going until you love it.
- Free step-by-step tutorials on our YouTube channel and FAQs walk you through it. Not sure about a color? Check the Color Chart. Unused products can be returned within 30 days.
What customers say
“The hue is very rich and provides excellent coverage with one coat. I like the versatility and consistency of red specifically and Angelus products in general. I have no complaints.”

“This Red was the perfect match for a leather purse strap that I replaced. It only took two thin coats to get the saturation I wanted. Thanks!”

Common questions
Can I mix Red with other Angelus colors?
Yes. All Angelus paints mix together, so you can lighten, darken, or shift Red to match your project.
Can you airbrush Angelus Red Paint?
Yes. Use an airbrush with at least a 0.35mm nozzle, and thin the paint with Angelus 2-Thin if you need it to flow more easily.
How much paint do I need?
A 1 oz. bottle usually covers 2 to 3 pairs of shoes completely. For a leather chair, plan on about a pint to a quart, and for a full couch, a quart or two.
