I didn't kno these were a standard in the custom shoe art world, I just looked up acrylic painting Nikes and found this video. I looked at the shoes and confirmed they're indeed Nike Air Force 1's, exact hahaha. Thanks so much for this! A worth-it freecycle for upcycle before they went to a landfill 👍

[@noclue14x49]

Don't know if anyone will respond but can you put finisher over the paint I just want to know so I don't mess anything up

[@AngelusBrand]

Yes, the finisher is to be used once the paint is applied and dry. The finisher will be the last step of the customizing process. This will help protect against minor scratches and scrapes but most importantly will add a sheen to the project. If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at [e-mail]

[@lilymcardle_]

How long does the paint to dry? And do you need to put anything over the top of the paint to seal it?

[@AngelusBrand]

The paint takes about 15 mins in-between coats to dry and then allow 24-48 hours for the paint to set and cure before wearing them. To seal it is optional. The paints already contain a finisher so adding a top coat will help with a little extra protection and will provide a shine to the project.

[@lilymcardle_]

Angelus Shoe Polish thank youu!

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Question: Once you've painted them do you go back over the painted parts with a sealant of any kind?

[@AngelusBrand]

Using the finisher is completely optional. The paints contain finisher and will last as long as the surface is prepped first. Along with adding some extra protection, the finisher will provide a sheen to the project. So it's completely your preference. If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at [e-mail]

[@Yurix1993]

@@AngelusBrand so the paint itself has a “clear” finisher in it? So you would only go over what you didnt paint? Correct? If you would want to put a coat on the whole shoe… whats the flash time on the paint before applying the “finisher”?

[@KingslayerBeforeDawn]

Where do i have to put the finsiher on ? Onto the coloured places or the non coloured and where do i have to put the acetone on?

[@AngelusBrand]

On the leather. The finisher is optional. It give the leather a different type of shine depending on the kind you use. High Gloss will give you the most amount of shine while Matte will provide the least amount of shine.

[@KingslayerBeforeDawn]

The acetone everywhere??

[@KingslayerBeforeDawn]

But the finisher i better dont put on the colored places right?

[@AngelusBrand]

@@KingslayerBeforeDawn Acetone is just for removing the factory finish from the leather surfaces.

Hi! No, the finisher is totally optional. Regardless of the kind of finisher, it will still provide a bit of shineso If you do not prefer shine, then we suggest tying it without finisher. If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at [e-mail]

[@phosphene8241]

Okay, thanks!!

[@MrGentlemanism]

Really great artwork! Would this paint also work on chuck taylors?

[@leahgensel]

hi!! i have an old pair of air force 1’s i wanna paint, do you recommend sealing them after though? and if so what product would work best? i plan to use acrylic paint bc it’s what i have on hand

[@AngelusBrand]

If you are using our Angelus acrylic paint then sealing the paint with a finisher is optional. Using the finisher will help protect against minor scratches and scrapes. The key is to prep the leather first by using our Leather Preparer and Deglazer or Acetone. This will remove the factory finisher which will allow the paint to adhere to the leather. If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at [e-mail]

[@DirdyJoker]

I got a couple questions. I know you're supposed to do 2-3 light coats for the base...but for the little black lines (design) does that have to be repeated 2-3 times as well? Is a finisher necessary on all the parts you paint? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just got a pair of kicks, and a set of Angelus Paints.

[@AngelusBrand]

With time and experience you'll see that some colors will require more coats then others. Our black is very pigmented and should only take one coat for the detailed design work but there may be areas that need touch ups. Finisher is optional. Finisher may help to protect against minor scratches and scrapes but is generally used to give the project a type of shine. Have fun and let us know if you have any more questions.

[@DirdyJoker]

@@AngelusBrand Thank you so much for the speedy reply. You've been very helpful and I can't wait to try out these products!

[@matthewhohenbery2287]

Dope design, mega talented. Definitely would’ve went with black laces, what paint would you use for the rubber soles? I heard acrylics have a tendency to crack...

[@AngelusBrand]

Correct, Although Angelus paint can be applied to soles/midsoles of shoes, it is not guaranteed to hold up. Therefore it is not recommended to paint on rubber soles.

[@waterr.33]

@@AngelusBrand can't you use 2 hard on midsoles?

[@sahilshah6439]

I wanna do something like this with a pair of Slip-On Vans. Is it safe to combine the duller with 2-soft?

[@AngelusBrand]

Hi Sahil, Great question, You will want to mix the paint and 2-soft first and foremost. Then add the few drops of duller to the paint you want dulled down.

[@JamesBonsor]

How long do you wait before applying the finisher?

[@AngelusBrand]

You can wait about 24-48 hours to apply it. You need the paint to be completely cured or the finisher will remain tacky. Make sure to shake well!

[@matelis89]

Dope dope dope!!!! But I have a question,can this hold after a good brush or laundry??

[@AngelusBrand]

Yes, just make sure the shoe and the paint is prepped and applied correctly. If done so, the paint should last as long as the life of the shoe. If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at [e-mail]

[@matelis89]

Thanks a lot

[@Ride_I_T]

Nice one. I want to try that. What type brush did you always use?

[@nicolecalise10]

You may have answered this already - my apologies if you did... Do you seal the shoe with anything after it's completely painted? I saw that you used the finisher but only on the unpainted sections of the sneaker. Thank you so much!

[@AngelusBrand]

No problem. Adding a sealant is not required. If the shoe is prepped properly with acetone and the paint is applied correctly with light even coats then the paint will be durable and last. Finisher is to give the surface a certain shine along with adding a little extra protection but again it is not required. If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at [e-mail]

[@黄慧慧]

Can you paint over the paint? Like if you want a different colour after a few months?

[@AngelusBrand]

It is possible however, the more layers of paint you apply, the greater the chances of the paint has to crack and chip. You can also try removing the paint with acetone before painting over the surface again.

[@samvomauenland1112]

a question. do you use the finisher on the whole piece or only on the not painted spots?

[@AngelusBrand]

Finisher is optional and used to give a sheen to the project. In this case, Chad applied finisher to the non painted areas but you can apply it however you like.

If prepped properly then the paint will not wash or come off. Just make sure to remove the shoe's factory finish with acetone or our Leather Preparer and Deglazer before applying the paint.

[@aa-tt1wv]

Do you have to add finisher to the other colors or do you leave it alone after painted?

[@younginmedina5515]

[@AutumnSun140]

Do you not need anything on top of the paint to seal the design in? Or will it just hold on its own when it has dried completely?

[@AngelusBrand]

Our paint is waterproof and durable. You can add a coat of our Acrylic Finisher to provide an even finish and minor protection. Our Water and Stain Repellent also helps. But our paint does last on its own.

[@Bone783]

Hey I have A question! Can I paint over the sun/night light reflecting Nike checks on my sneakers with a clear matte finish to stop the reflections from glaring constant?

[@indianascarletwilliams9038]

Do you have to use preparer and deglazer? Or is there an alternative?

[@AngelusBrand]

It's vital to the customization process to use the Leather Preparer and Deglazer. If you don't have access to that, acetone also works, but be careful as it could potentially be too strong.

[@indianascarletwilliams9038]

Angelus Shoe Polish ah thank you! I’ll aim to get some preparer and deglazer

[@victorybluefire5604]

Nice. Will the rain wash it off though????

[@AngelusBrand]

No, once dry, water will not effect the paints. All it takes is proper prep and application. We suggest using our Angelus Deglazer or Acetone to remove the factory paint/finish. This will allow Angelus paint to adhere better to the surface. Also, applying several thin coats of paint rather than one or two thick coats will help a lot more.

[@Kenzo-yl4gr]

Do you need to use a finisher after using the paint + duller? Or is it good to go?

[@MrXJ22]

Finisher is more than recommended. Matte finisher for the part you want Matte. There are Glossy finisher as well if you want the logo to pop out too. (Also be very gentle with the duller, not more than 8 or 10% ratio)

[@Bro21323]

Can you customize the shoe with out the finisher?

[@miaserna9096]

can you customize the same af1 shoe daily? i want a pair so that i can switch up the swoosh/design whenever i want. but will that mess up the leather? is the paint used for leather shoes permanent? can i possibly use a milder, nonpermanent paint of the af1's?

[@AngelusBrand]

The paint is made to last and stay on the shoe. Building layers on top of layers may cause the paint to crack and chip. Wouldn't be the most ideal.

[@andrewcorll1967]

This may have been answered somewhere, but does it matter what type of rag/cloth you use when prepping the shoe for paint?

2-4 light coats of paint should do the trick. It may depend on the color you are using.

[@Nightwing1551]
