Satin 4-Coat

Angelus Satin 4-Coat is a satin clear coat for painted sneakers and leather that leaves a "factory" finish, not too glossy and not too matte. It's urethane-based, so it adds heavy scuff resistance on top of your custom work.

Choose a 1 oz. or 4 oz. bottle. It's made in the USA.

How to use it

1. Let your Angelus Paint dry completely.
2. Brush or airbrush it on.
3. Let each coat dry before adding another.

Brushing tips

• Use a fine, soft brush like our Angelus brushes. Heavy or cheap brushes leave strokes.
• Level it out as you go with a hair dryer or heat gun.
• Don't keep brushing once it starts to dry, or it can turn hazy.

Airbrushing tips

• Spray a full, heavy coat without letting it drip.
• Don't spray too light. A thin mist won't build a strong layer that adheres.

What customers say

“This finish is the perfect in between of flat and glossy. It gives a little sheen to the finished product similar to a factory finish.”

★★★★★ Jennifer N., Philadelphia, PA

“4coat Satin was easier to use than Acrylic Finisher Satin because it is harder and does not produce a glossy finish.”

★★★★★ Tomoko S., Koga, Japan

“I used this on a leather chair. This finish was easy to apply with a brush.”

★★★★★ Lisa S.

Common questions

Should I use 4-Coat or Acrylic Finisher?

Use 4-Coat when you want heavy scuff resistance. Angelus Paint is sturdy on its own, but 4-Coat adds an extra layer of protection. If you just want to change the sheen, use Angelus Acrylic Finisher.

Should I brush or airbrush 4-Coat?

Both work. Airbrushing gives the smoothest result, especially on glossier sheens. If you brush, use a fine Angelus brush and level it with a hair dryer or heat gun.

Why does my 4-Coat look hazy?

It's usually from brushing while it's drying. Brush it on, level it with heat, then leave it alone to dry.

Why isn't my 4-Coat sticking?

The coat is probably too light. Spray a full, heavy coat without dripping so it builds a strong layer on top.

Which 4-Coat sheen looks most like a factory finish?

Satin. It has a light sheen that's close to how most new sneakers look.
