Angelus Paint is not recommended for use on the very bottoms of shoes as the paint will wear away as soon as you start walking in them. Angelus Paint also works great on certain Soft Midsoles (Jordan 3’s, Jordan 4’s), and will not hold up on hard midsoles (Converse, Vans, Jordan 1’s, Air Force 1’s, etc). We want you to have the best experience possible with realistic goals.

Leather dyes have a lot of pigment and are really strong. Suede Dyes are lighter in pigment and use a slightly different formula to keep the suede soft. If you use Leather dye on Suede it will make the nap of the leather harder.

Leather Dye on suede will cause it to get stiff. If you do Suede Dye on Leather dye it may not be strong enough or full of enough pigment for you.

Black Suede can have issues from a few things. If you apply too much it can cause an iridescent look. If you do not shake the bottle it will not be mixed and give a hue. The actual article may not be real suede. To alleviate most of these situations you just have to wipe down with cloth of water & alcohol.

Dyes takes the color of what is under them. So if you dye something white with red it will turn pink. It mixes with it. Paint sits on the surface and grabs on. You can cover anything with paint. Our paint is water based while our dyes are alcohol based.

Yes you can mix dyes to make other colors but that can have adverse results. A normal color mixing like with paint can be very strange with dyes

No we do not have a white dye. Usually to “dye” something white you would need to bleach it.

This is a matter of preference but we like with a paint brush or airbrush. The paintbrush will be ruined after application though.

To prevent the dye from bleeding you can brush the article after it has dried and then use Angelus Water & Stain Repellent on top to seal it in. Some people even mix our acrylic finisher with water and airbrush it over to finalize it.

The same way you prevent it from bleeding. You would brush it to get excess pigment off then seal with Angelus Shoe Polish or Water & Stain Repellent.

STEP 1

When cleaning suede, we highly recommend using our Angelus Foam-Tex Cleaning Kit. Begin by using the provided brush to gently brush away any dirt or debris.

STEP 2

Depress the pump handle to apply Angelus Foam-Tex directly onto the suede. Apply enough product until almost the entire surface is covered.

STEP 3

Use the provided brush to work the Angelus Foam-Tex in circular motions using a minimum amount of force. Work quickly to prevent the product from dissipitating.

STEP 4

Wipe off the excess product using the provided microfiber towel. Continue to dry the rest of the suede as much as possible. Leave to dry for at least 24 hours.

STEP 5

After the suede has completely dried for at least 24 hours, the nap of the suede may be laying down and or feel slightly stiff. Using the same brush, brush the suede in a back and forth motion to loosen and raise the nap. If the nap of the suede is very long and stiff, you may receive better results loosening the nap using our Nubuck & Suede Set.

When cleaning leather with Angelus Easy Cleaner, apply cleaner to brush and begin to scrub dirty area. When done wipe off excess soap with a clean towel and repeat if more cleaning is needed.

All Purpose Foam cleaner would be the strongest cleaner we carry. It is perfect for midsoles and soles of sneakers and tough to clean areas. We do not suggest it on very gentle suedes.

The best way to use Angelus Easy Cleaner is to have a cup of warm cleaner water, a cleaning brush and a clean rag with you. Apply Angelus Easy Cleaner to the brush and start scrubbing. Using a warm clean water, clean off the brush in between sessions. After that dry the shoe off with a clean rag or microfiber.

The best way to use Angelus All Purpose Foam Cleaner is to spray directly onto dirty midsole, sole or dirty area and allow the foam to penetrate into the dirt on shoe. Then with the bristle brush cap or any stiff brush begin to scrub the area to loosen dirt. With rag wipe of all excess foam and dirt.

Yes after you have applied the cleaner you wipe it off to remove soap and dirt.

When soles turn yellow it is due to oxidation that occurs through time. The product used to reverse this problem is Sole Bright.

Sole Bright is an extremely strong material and you MUST wear gloves when handling and applying to shoes. Use a small brush and apply generous amount to area you are deoxidizing but avoid touching any other areas. Cover with plastic wrap and place in direct sunlight. UV rays will react with the chemical and bring back the original look. Keep in mind that sometimes you will need to do several sessions to get results.

To use the Suede & Nubuck kit you use the Suede Eraser and you rub on any stained areas on the suede then use the brush to remove any eraser debris.

Yes, you sure can. Be sure to reapply the Water & Stain Repellent after the cleaning has been done.

Water & Stain Repellent will last one to two weeks of normal wear before you have to reapply the product.

No finisher is required on top of Angelus Glitterlites. Glitterlites Paint is flexible and does not flake. Applying an Acrylic Finisher on top of the Glitterlites Paint may hinder the “glitter” look.

You can in order to thin out the glitter to give less of distribution of the glitter. We do not recommend using Angelus Glitterlites through an airbrush as the pigment is too thick and may cause immediate clogging.

Many of our customers mix Angelus Glitterlites to obtain a desired custom color. Mixing White Sugar Glitterlite with other Glitterlites gives it a very formal/wedding feel.

You can mix Glitterlites with Angelus Paint but be warned it may hinder some of the glitter effect. If you cover the glitter with paint it will not be able to shimmer through.
