Collector Edition Aqua 8

Angelus Collector Edition Aqua 8 is an acrylic leather paint in a bright aqua, part of our Collector Edition line of sneaker-matched colors. Use it for sneaker restorations and customs, or on boots, bags, and other leather goods.

Each bottle is 1 oz. We've made Angelus products in Los Angeles since 1907.

Before and after you paint

Clean the surface first. On leather, take off the factory finish with Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer. Prep midsoles with Deglazer the same way so the paint can grip. When you're done, seal it with Angelus 4-Coat.

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.

What customers say

“Being that our company restores shoes and aqua 8s are prone to cracking and hard to match either of the colors i am more than happy with the match for the paint”

Common questions

Can I adjust the shade of Aqua 8?

Yes. All Angelus paints mix together, so you can lighten it with White or deepen it with Black.

Can I paint rubber midsoles with Aqua 8?

Yes. Prep the midsole with Deglazer, apply thin coats, and seal with 4-Coat.

Can you airbrush Collector Edition paint?

Yes. Use an airbrush with at least a 0.35mm nozzle, and thin the paint with Angelus 2-Thin if it needs to flow more easily.

How much paint do I need?

A 1 oz. bottle usually covers 2 to 3 pairs of shoes completely, and goes much further for midsoles and accents.
