Angelus White Paint

Angelus White Paint is an acrylic white leather paint for touching up white sneakers, painting midsoles, laying base coats, and customizing leather goods. It's water-based, stays flexible once dry, and covers in 3 to 5 thin coats on a properly prepped surface.

It's also the white shoe paint you mix in to lighten any other Angelus color. 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. Apply white in light, even coats so it sets without streaks, then seal it with Angelus 4-Coat for protection and the sheen you want. For full steps, open the Quick Guide below.

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 material guide walk you through it. Not sure about a color? Check the Color Chart.

Common questions

Can I use white paint on white shoes to cover scuffs?

Yes. Prep the area, then build up light coats of White until the scuff disappears into the shoe.

What's the difference between White and Flat White?

White has the standard Angelus finish, while Angelus Flat White dries with almost no shine for a matte look.

How do I make lighter colors with Angelus paint?

Mix White into any Angelus color, since all of our paints mix together.

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.
