Will this paint work on the soles of my shoes?

Although Angelus paint can be applied to soles of shoes, it is not guaranteed to hold up. Therefore it is not recommended to paint on soles. If done so, apply some type of Sole-Protector to preserve the painted bottom.

Please make sure that your layers are fully dry between layers. If not, the tackiness may occur if the layers have not cured. The tacky feel should go away over time. On FAUX leather surfaces, it tends to stay longer. We recommend a very light sanding with a 1000+ grit. This will not compromise the texture or paint on your project.

How do I prevent the paint from cracking?

To help prevent cracking, ensure the surface has been prepped properly using Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer. Aside from proper prep, applying the paint in thin coats will also help to prevent cracking.

Should I be using an airbrush or a paintbrush?

How do I prevent brush strokes?

Updated a year ago

Although airbrushing may seem like the best choice to many, paint brushing is a very good option in many circumstances such as minimal areas and detail work. Preference would be solely up to you in this case.

Yes, Angelus Paints will work in an airbrush if the airbrush has a needle over .5mm. No thinning is necessary as long as it is the proper size.

If your needle is smaller than 0.5mm (ie 0.35mm or 0.1mm) we recommended mixing our product 2-thin into the paint. 

It is also highly recommend to strain your paint mixture before pouring it into your airbrush. Paint that has been sitting out in the air can dry and cause small particles. New paint bottles that are unopened should be able to airbrush right away.

We also have a wide selection of Grex Airbrush Machines and airbrush parts HERE.

If you are looking online for other airbrushes please make sure their nozzle size is 0.5mm or larger for best results. Anything smaller may have issues unless it is thinned with our product Angelus 2-Thin.
