Never put the acrylic paint on too thick or in time it will crack and chip away. It’s best to use multiple thin layers of paint, then seal it with a matte or gloss varnish.

Very durable, it will not chip or crack. Just make sure to prep the jacket with acetone or our Leather Preparer and Deglazer before applying the paint. For the paint to last the life of the jacket, It is very important to remove the factory finisher and then apply light, even layers of Angelus Paint.

I painted my leather jacket a couple months ago with acrylic paint. 3 layers of paint, 2 layers of varnish, there are some parts of the paint that have cracked and chipped off. I was reading through the comments, and what I decided to do was take fine grit sandpaper, go over the chipped areas, and then re apply paint with very thin layers. Any other suggestions?

@AngelusBrand 3 жыл бұрын

It is all about preparation, thin coats and dry times. Make sure each coat is completely dry before applying the next. You will also want to sand any areas that will experience more creasing than others.

@joebeierle2897 Жыл бұрын

Yeah, you must have used regular acrylic paint. You gotta go with Angelus or with Lumiere by Jacquard. Make sure you use a hair dryer and set it til it reaches 175 degrees. Good luck.

@AngelusBrand 4 жыл бұрын

Besides pen or pencil the paint is a safe choice because it may be the easiest to remove. If the paint is wet then it's as spimple as rubbing it off with a little water and if it has dried then you should be able to remove it with acetone or leather preparer and deglazer. Experiment, test things out on just go for it.

Yes when preparing the leather the factory finish will be removed and will give the leather a dull look. This means the protective coat is off and it should be safe to paint.

Sorry to hear that. While using the Leather Prep, try bending and creasing those areas to get into the small cracks and crevices. You may have to spend a little extra time on areas that bend and crease to make sure all of the protective coat has been removed. Ultimately, the prep is the most important step to a custom. Going over with the Deglazer a couple of time and making sure to get in tight areas and creases is what make the difference.

Hey man. That coat paint job is sick. Recently I’ve been looking how to distress a leather coat and found some cool ways using acetone, sandpaper, wire brush, one guy used dirt and dragged the coat in gravelly rocks in a parking lot. I wanna so all that but I think I wanna literally throw in some paint. Any tips. I wanna apply the paint in a Jackson Pallok-esque way. And I’m assuming the paint should go on last..any tips or instructions you could give me?

@AngelusBrand 3 жыл бұрын

Sounds pretty cool. Jackson Pollock is a very unique artist. I guess applying the paint would depend on what part of the sneaker you are planning to paint. If you plan to paint the distress leather or the leather itself then you can most likely paint once all those steps are done. However, prepping with the sandpaper can cause some of the material to become suede/nubuck so once paints applied it can change the texture. What you will have to do is test and experiment with it on your end. Only way to see what works best for you.
