[@elizabethsuniga5046]

I love the way you do that!!.. I think i paint some to give for Christmas gifts!!..

[@DashDrones]

I had the paint ready, brushes ready, shoes ready, then I remembered... I can't draw... :(

[@PrimeStudio22]

DashDrones u can use some stencils ❤️

[@JoeKyser]

Ah dont ever let that get you down! There are always stencils and you dont necessarily have to draw anything. Be creative and go for abstract art. I appreciate abstract more than realism myself. Its all matter if opinion. Dont be afraid to express yourself the best you can. The best thing about art is that you can never wrong if you want.

[@goated_NPC]

U can trace a drawing from online or something with some tracing paper. Put the side of the paper with the drawing on the shoe and color the back side of the paper with the same pencil really dark. And edit any line work that's missing.

[@SplashDash03]

Heat transfers are helpful too!

[@taylormcclain8190]

Do I absolutely need the paint softener or could I go without it?

[@allisinjustine5049]

Does matte finish match the original Air Force finish the best?? Also I know you’re not supposed to do the soles, but how can you achieve doing the Nike and the line on the soles? If I’m only doing the Nike swoosh on the shoe, can I just tape it and only do the finisher remover and the finisher on that part? And does this paint work on the black forces? 😅

[@victoriarodriguez2707]

When prepping a shoe, do I have to sand down the shoe before painting with angelus paint? I want my customs to last as long as possible!

[@AngelusBrand]

Sanding is not required however it does help with the overall durability.

Yeah okay, cool idea.

Thats whats cool about customs, you can always request a specific finish from the artist. Everyone has their own flavor and with Angelus its so easy to accommodate

Do you have to use a heat gun? Would a blow dryer work?

Fresh kicks bro

Thanks

[@jordanhamp7077]

The finisher is only on the toe box and the swoosh right

[@BH-ir3fm]

If I use the preparer and do everything correctly approximately how long could the paint last?

[@AngelusBrand]

If that's the case then the paint should last the life of the shoe.

[@fredo18]

Sick shoes!!! Do you use the heat gun for every coat or just for the initial base coat?

[@fredo18]

@WRECK CREATION thanks mate 😊

[@goated_NPC]

Two questions. 1. Could I customize basketball shoes, play in them, and not see any cracking or fading? 2. When will u be able to ship products again on your website?

[@AngelusBrand]

Yes, just make sure to prep the sneaker really well before applying multiple thin coats of paint. If leather, use acetone or our Leather Preparer and Deglazer to remove the factory finish. This will allow the paint to adhere to the leather properly. For any questions about your order or website, please feel free to contact or Customer Support. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

[@AngelusBrand]

The substitutes for 2-Hard and 2-Soft are GAC 200 and GAC 900. 2-Thin is an acrylic thinner so there may be similar products in art supply stores.

[@julissafabian8985]

Wow....so nice

After adding acrylic finisher angelus can it be repainted or do you have to remove that layer of acrylic?

[@carterconfidential7110]

Those look sick!!

[@lilbean941]

is there a way to prevent the color from creasing where the shoe naturally creases (toe box) over time? i properly prep & paint thin layers but they still crease after just a few wears, is that just part of customized shoes or am i doing something wrong?

[@AngelusBrand]

The best way to prevent creases is by inserting some De-creasers. We sell these on our website and they help to prevent the toe box from creasing excessively.

[@Chaotictattooo]

So we don’t need to use 2hard on the paint?

[@AngelusBrand]

2-Hard was formulated with non-porous textures in mind. 2-Hard is useful when painting with plastic or glass.

[@karimGL84]

Air forcé one the best sneaker for Custom

[@anthony7178]

Was that a normal pencil you used to sketch out the burger on the shoe?

[@AngelusBrand]

It is. You can also use a pen. Mostly a preference.

[@cuentyacanceus1746]

Is there a product which i can use to paint the fabric part of the Air Force?

[@AngelusBrand]

Yes, we suggest mixing Angelus 2-Soft with the Angelus Paints. This will allow you to poperly paint on fabrics materials.

[@anaglez9387]

How often do you have to freshen up on the paint? Like does it need touch-ups or does it stay there forever?

[@AngelusBrand]

With the proper preparation it will stay on forever. However, this always depends on how much you wear it. You can treat it like any normal shoe and will come across normal wear and tear. So you may have to touch it up ever so ofter.

[@anaglez9387]

[@lilymcardle_]

Could someone tell me how to keep the paint on the bottoms of shoes such as Jordan 1s and Air Force 1s? Because when I paint mine it always comes off after walking in them

[@AngelusBrand]

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.

[@lilymcardle_]

I also painted the Nike logo on the back of some Air Force 1’s, but I didn’t use the softener liquid, I just used regular Angelus paint + satin acrylic finish, will it stay on ?

[@AngelusBrand]

Most artist do not add the 2-soft when painting to Nike logo in the back tab. Applying just the paint would be quite alright.

I'm from Portugal and the shipping from USA to here is too expensive so I'm looking forward to buy essential things like: preparer and deglazer, 2-Thin, 2-soft, 2-Hard and acrylic finisher. Are thoose products compatible with other leather paints? I'm trying to save as much money as I can so I would like to buy leather paint from here if they are compatible with 2-Soft, 2-Hard and 2-Thin. And can I mix 2-Soft and 2-thin to paint using an airbrush on a shoe? Love from Portugal

[@AngelusBrand]

Here's a link to our distributors. Hopefully there's a location that may help. angelusshoepolish.com/pages/where-to-buy

[@bigbruva_7741]

What type of paint do you use to paint the midsole? The rubber portion just below the leather.

[@AngelusBrand]

We do not recommend the paint on rubber. It will crack and peel after some wear and tear.

[@kimjong1958]

Hey Angelus, I've been watching afew Americans unboxing a big Angelus set, is that extra large paint set with brushes etc only for American customers? I'm from the UK and only have found a max of 12 is a set.

It may depend on who you are purchasing it from. Some distributors may only have certain bottles or kits available. Here's a link that may help you find different distributors near you. angelusshoepolish.com/pages/where-to-buy

[@alyssahenley903]

You didn't add too soft? So the angelus paints go right on?

[@AngelusBrand]

The 2-Soft application is only for FABRIC, not the smooth leathers.

[@xdidi2233]

Great video i love the shoes but I got some qustions please I bought paint from angelus abt month ago and I paint a lot on shoes. But the paint is peeling off the shoe when there is a wrinkle in the shoe from the way i sit. I also apply finisher so it wont peel but it still peels off. Sadly i painted my air force 2 weeks ago and there are small marks of the paint that peel of the shoe. Is there a spray that i can apply on the shoe so it will protect the paint more and there wont be a lot of wrinkles? And i soon buy an air brush but all i got is the paint and 1 finisher What other products do i need for airbrush? Thank you for reading 💛

[@AngelusBrand]

It's all about the prep. Before applying paint and finisher it is very important to prep the leather with acetone or our Leather Preparer and Deglazer. This will remove the factory finish which will then allow the paint to adhere to the leather. Without this step, the paint will not last regardless with or without finisher.

[@xdidi2233]

@@AngelusBrand thanks! ❤ But do you recommend anything for air brush?

[@garagemonkey526]

Hi, can I use a blow dryer to set the finish and if so should I do it for longer than 5 minutes? Thanks

[@AngelusBrand]

If you referring to heat setting the paint into fabrics then the blow dryer must reach 300 degrees or higher.

[@areiltaylor2000]

I'm looking to do something simple. I wanted to make some mardi gras color shoes. So I wanted the shoe to stay white and I only wanted to paint some purple gold and green on the check like paint drippings and just some paint splatter along the bottom sole. I wanted to know what do I use if I don't have a heat gun?

[@AngelusBrand]

The heat gun is only to speed up the dry time. You do not need one in general.

[@veneziamarquez5304]

I have a question. Is the heat gun necessary? I’m starting out and I’m not sure if I should buy one.

[@AngelusBrand]

Yes, it is necessary if you are planning to paint any kind of fabric such as canvas and mesh. The paint and 2-Soft mixture must be heat set using a heat gun.

[@hobiday5833]

How would u clean it without getting the paint removed.

[@AngelusBrand]

You can use our Easy Cleaner. It's perfect to clean your customs.

[@bodziszczuuu9655]

If i want to make an denim jacket i need to make base coat with 2soft. But can i use after that only paint ? Or still need to ad 2soft ?

[@AngelusBrand]

Yeah it depends on the design and preference. Just the base coat with 2 Soft seems to be the popular choice these days and works really well in this case.

[@lucac2442]

[@kuistyles9810]

is the heat gun necessary? will it set with the finisher alone without the heat gun?

Hey there, yes. The heat gun is just to speed up the dry time.

[@isaac8344]

Let’s say if ur doing just the Nike logo on the air forces do u need the heat gun or can you just let it dry

Just letting it dry on it's own will work.

[@broodjesate674]

So i bougt duller but i still really dont know what is does and how much u need to ad to your mixture ,pls help me out

[@AngelusBrand]

Angelus Duller is mixed with Angelus Paint in order to reduce the amount of shine in the paint. Perfect item if you want the "Matte" or "Flat" look. Only 5-10% of duller is needed and recommended.

[@matthewdykes4302]

Does the paint chip or crack with use? Because I want to make a pair of customs but I actually wear my shoes so idk if it a good idea

This will be all up to your preparation of the item prior to painting.

[@alekaatwater1578]

How to fix cracking paint? All my shoes I customized need touch ups.. are those areas I didnt paint with enough coats possibly?

[@AngelusBrand]

No, it has to do with the prep. Besides the entire shoe, make sure to prep those area where theres creasing and more wear and tear involved. Properly prepping with acetone or our Leather Preparer and Deglazer will cut down on the areas that need touching up.

[@jacobwilletts1394]

Do you have to use Angelus 2 soft when painting on shoe laces, I'm only outlining them as I'm doing the cartoon design so will the 2 soft be necessary ?

[@AngelusBrand]

Nah, we would probably recommend doing it without 2-Soft

[@kacey552]

Can you paint the bottom soles if you wanted too?

[@AngelusBrand]

Angelus Paint is not recommended for use on the very bottoms of shoes as the paint will wear away as soon as you start walking in them. Angelus Paint also works great on certain Soft Midsoles (Jordan 3's, Jordan 4's), and will not hold up on hard midsoles (Converse, Vans, Jordan 1's, Air Force 1's, etc). We want you to have the best experience possible with realistic goals.

[@booksmakesworld]

Do I use a primer if I hydrodip and paint them even after the acetone?

[@AngelusBrand]

After you prep with acetone you can always add a base layer first. Although we are unable to vouch for hydro-dipping. When it comes to using our paints it would depend on the color you are using.

[@lukeward3417]

If you are trying to create a portfolio and build up a fan base but don’t have the money to buy a bunch of different shoes is it possible to repaint painter shoes? If so how?

[@AngelusBrand]

Yes. Thats how many people learn. Old shoes you find in you closet or a thrift store. Just make sure the shoes are properly cleaned and prepped before applying the paint.

[@maddie297]

Did you use pink or petal pink for the donut?

[@AngelusBrand]

The donut was a mix of colors but yes Petal Pink may have been the base color.

[@alessiablanch5704]

If I don’t have a heat gun can I just let it air dry?

[@AngelusBrand]

Absolutely. That is always the best way.

[@tessyd1170]

I have a question, does acetone work for that Finish remover? I ordered my paints and did not order that :/

[@AngelusBrand]

Absolutely! Acetone is little more aggressive, so be careful on how mush you are using if your leathers are softer/thinner.

Instead of using a heat gun can I use a hairdryer?

2-Soft is a fabric medium used to paint mesh, cotton, denim and other fabrics. 2-Thin is an additive to thin the paint. If you are painting leather then you will not need to add anything. Just make sure the leather is properly prepped with acetone or our Leather Preparer and Deglazer.
