Angelus Leather Paint Basics Kit - Professional Leather Restoration
The Angelus leather paint basics kit gives you everything needed to start your first leather restoration or custom paint project. This all-in-one leather painting kit includes five 1 oz acrylic leather paints in assorted colors, five assorted paint brushes, and one 1 oz leather preparer and deglazer to properly prep your surface before painting.
What is Angelus acrylic leather paint and how is it different from regular paint?
Angelus acrylic leather paint is specifically formulated to bond with leather fibers and flex with the material without cracking or peeling. Unlike standard craft paints, it remains durable through bending, stretching, and regular wear - essential for saddles, boots, and other leather items that move and flex in use.
What does the leather preparer and deglazer do?
The leather preparer and deglazer chemically removes old finishes, surface gloss, and glazing from your leather so the acrylic paint can adhere evenly and permanently. It's a critical first step that ensures professional results - always apply it before painting.
What can I paint with this kit - saddles, boots, bags, belts?
Yes. This kit is ideal for all leather restoration and customization including saddles, boots, shoes, bags, wallets, belts, sofas, and any leather goods. The five included colors mix to create custom shades for any project.
Is this kit enough for a beginner to restore a vintage saddle?
Yes. The kit includes everything you need to start - five essential paint colors, five brushes in assorted sizes, and the preparer deglazer to condition your surface. One kit typically covers small to medium restoration projects; larger saddles may require additional paint bottles.
How do I care for tooled leather after painting it with Angelus paint?
Allow the paint to cure fully (24-48 hours). Once dry, treat your leather as normal - the acrylic paint won't crack or peel with regular use. For tooled leather details, let the paint settle into hand-tooled patterns naturally before handling to preserve definition.
