Get your old sneakers looking brand new with Angelus paint

Neatness is always closely related to style and fashion. Sure, wrinkly shirts are kind of unique, but wearing a perfectly ironed shirt with no wrinkles accentuates your confidence. Similarly, you also have to care for your footwear the way you do your outfits. There’s an inexplicable relation between footwear and your confidence. So, you must keep your footwear fresh looking at all times. 

Earlier, the only option used to be cleaning and settling for the dull colour of your sneakers after several washes. However, now you can easily turn your sneakers brand new with the help of leather paints such as angelus paint. 

Steps to make your sneakers look brand new

1. Cleaning

Many people skip right to the leather paint part. However, you need to initially clean the surface and prepare the sneakers for painting. Impurities on the surface can lead to poor sticking of the paint to the leather surface. You can use a leather conditioner and brush to efficiently remove all the impurities. 

2. Adjust the consistency

The paint you select for your sneakers might not be in the exact consistency you desire it to be. At this time, you should try mixing your paint with paint thinner to help it flow evenly. Moreover, you can also find paint thickeners that can improve the consistency of your paint. 

3. Use preparation products

Products for preparation usually remove the old paint already on your sneakers. These products help the newly applied paint absorb more easily and also give you an even coat. These products also help you remove any stubborn dirt that sticks to the surface of your sneakers.

4. Apply the paint

In this step, you can apply the leather paint, for example, the angelus paint, that you have mixed with the thinner onto the sneakers. Be sure that you choose a paint that is water-based, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly. We advise you to use an airbrush kit to apply the paint evenly to the surface of the leather. However, be sure that you wear a protective mask if you are sensitive to the paint’s smell. 

5. Apply the finisher

After you apply the paint, it might not look as good as you expected it to be. However, there are ways to make it look like a professional paint job. Finisher products stick on your sneakers as a layer over the paint. You can choose different types of finisher products such as matte, glittery, glossy, etc. For example, the angelus paint kit comes in different colours. But, you might want a glossy blue instead of ordinary blue colour. In such instances, you can use a glossy finisher to obtain the look you desire. 

Conclusion

The joy in revamping your sneakers is like none other. It feels like we have got our childhood years back, painting on random stuff. Before selecting leather paint for your sneakers, make sure that the underlying colour will not disturb the appearance of the outer paint you are going to apply. Happy painting!
