Man, I’m learn so much from your videos. It’s easy to listen to you explain in detail. It’s straight to the point and broken down very nicely. I’m currently trying to better my paint skills and his videos bring me to that next level. So grateful. 🙏
Thank you for all your videos!!! I’ve never considered shoe design till recently!! Ever since I started watching your videos it has helped make the learning process much less intimidating!!
Dude THANK YOU!!This video has taught me more than anyone else’s and I been watching tons of videos and yours is straight to the point but also broken down into the steps.And being able to actually see the difference is amazing.I must find your RUclips page
The part where he said one cannot use the Duller as a top coat was extremely helpful to me. I have a new pair of Corral boots which are between satin and shiny and I wanted to dull them. Knowing this would make them chalky saved me the time, money, and failure. Thanks! If anyone can recommend a mattifyer or duller that I can use alone please reply.
Angelus Flat Black can actually be a little glossy especially on flat leather and putting Angelus Matte Finisher on top will only make it even more so (matte finisher is as if not more glossy still) You're probably gunna wanna add 5% duller to your last couple layers of flat black or matte finisher to get it looking factory in my opinion.
Hi ! Is it possible to add duller to the matte finisher to reduce the shine ? Also if this is possible would it be a way to reduce the shine of paint that’s been used straight off the bottle Thanks 🙏🏻
I'm working on restoring some Air Up 2014 Orlando's. In 94 that was my first signature shoe so I wanna do em well. I've experimented on beaters, but can I premix Angelus paint with duller in a bottle? I wanna make sure my test subject had the exact ratio I'm putting on the real deal. Or does duller need to be added at the moment of painting?
airbrushed my 1st two layers of paint on shoes - ever - last night (aka this morning). i mis-remembered that y'all say 5-10% duller and only added a drops for fear of the chalk lol anyway i'll get the ratio right today & slap on a few more coats. i also have the matte finisher so i should be able to steer things away from the gloss pretty well #growingpains
What's the difference between Duller and Matte finisher? I'm guessing you have to apply finisher every time u paint a pair of shoes but if it's MATE finisher it gives the same look as using a duller or?
Hi! Helpful video, thanks! Now, the only problem is that I've aldready painted my Adidas suede shoes with paint and 2 - soft, 1:1. No duller tho.. And now the suede almost looks like shiny leather. Is it possible to reduce the gloss by adding a coat of Matte Finisher with some drops of duller mixed in? Or should I do another coat of paint with 2 - soft and duller?
I have a question. I buy Angelus Neon Orange for my Bakugou cosplay boots but when I apply on the rubber black sole of the boot, the color don't turn right, it doesn't care how many layers I apply, I always can see the black underneath. What can I do? I use acrylic paint because I need the boots for a children's birthday party but wasn't a permanent solution. Help me please. 🙏🙏🙏
I HAVE A QUESTION CAN YOU MIXED COLORS TOGETHER ? FOR EXAMPLE WOULD I BE ABLE TO MIXED PALE BLUE , WITH WHITE TO CREATE A LIGHT SHADE SOMEONE HELP ME 😩‼️
I have a clutch ..from which leather is chipped off from sides..what should i do ..should i remove all the top leather and then paint it..or is there some other way..
You might need a leather repair kit to fill in where the leather has peeled. Once you have a full coverage and have deglazed the remainder of the leather, you can start to apply our paint to the clutch.
Bro I just got the flat white to make pure money 4s out of my navy and yellow 4s and I didn’t by duller now it looks like house paint and cracks when I walk🤦♂️
Hey, awesome video. I received some stencils from you today and I'm about to begin my first custom on some canvas vans, do I need to use duller if I'm using 2soft? Do I mix them both in the paint? And what ratio should I use?
Duller is optional. Start off with a 50/50 mix of 2-Soft and paint and if you choose to have a flat look then add a drop or two of duller. Thanks for watching and let us know if you have any more questions.
I accidentally added too much duller to my paint mix, is there a way to correct this? I saw in one comment you suggested to start over. Would I need to sand off the chalky paint?
Unfortunately there is no way of fixing it. You will need to start over. Do not worry though, this happens to most artists. It is part of the craft. So do not feel discouraged. 👍
Привет с России.) отличные краски👍👍👍. У нас крупная мастерская в Москве и мы остановились на красках Angelus. Очень хорошо красят👏🏻. Мы могли бы сотрудничать с Angelus более тесно🤝.
Hi bro, love your stuff!!!! . Could u give me some pointers on the sanding prep for leather and pig skin trainers, huarache for example? Wat grit etc. Thanks so much. 👍
No, actually matte is just considered our finisher with the lowest shine. You will still get a tiny sheen. Remember, all our paints contain a little finisher in it already. So ultimately, applying a finisher is optional, but it is suggested to give it that extra seal. You can always mix a little duller into the finishers to wipe out the shine as well. You also want to know that it is all about preparation, right amount of layers and making sure each coat is dry before applying the next. Once the last coat is applied you also want to make sure that it is fully cured. Finishers will only give your custom that additional protection it does not make the paint chip or crack proof. Hope this helped.
There really is nothing much you can do except for making sure it is kept in room temperature and sealed really well. You can also try shaking it up or maybe adding some 2-thin, but chances are it is too dried up.
Hi you mentioned painting canvas and mesh, and adding duller. I would usually add soft with 50/50 ratio along with the paint mixed in. Would you add your 5-10% duller along with this?? thanks
Need some tips for a cosplay suit that was previously black, and I made it orange with angelus paint. Attended an event recently for the first time and I had a lot of rips of the paint, especially between my legs in the crotch area. I was pretty upset bit realized I messed up. Need any tips. Cost is mo factor. I just want to do it the right way this time. I didn't put a finisher cause I didn't have time, but didn't think it would tear after one use. Thanks
Add on to text avove: just need my paint to be super durable through sweat and bumping into crowds of people. The material is a faux leather that I'm wearing.
Unfortunately, we would not recommend trying to bring it back. We now have our 4-Coat Matte finisher, so you can actually use this at the end instead of using the Duller. Just another option that some people prefer 😀
You can do two things. Remember, all our paints have finisher in it already. You can use paint/duller mix and do not have to apply a finisher. All our finishers will have a specific sheen to them. However, if you feel like you want to add a finisher. You can always mix some matte finisher/duller and apply a coat. This will not hurt the custom. However, we would just say use the paint/duller method, no finisher added. Totally optional and up to you
No, there is a huge difference between our paints and dyes. We only recommend using the dyes for either leather or suede materials. Remember, Dyes takes the color of what is under them. So if you dye something white with red it will turn pink. It mixes with it. Paint sits on the surface and grabs on. You can cover anything with paint. Our paint is water based while our dyes are alcohol based. Ultimately, if you want to use dye in an airbrush no additive is needed. Please feel free to email us if you have any additional questions or need any tips info@angelusdirect.com Thanks
Thank you very much for your reply ! So, if i want to apply black color on white, paint is enough ? No need to go through a dye ? So that the paint sticks well, can I mix it with 2 Thin in 1/1 anyway ?
Can I ask... why would you use fuller if you’re using 2soft on a canvas shoe? I thought 2soft made it absorb into the fabric more, so naturally making it matte as it’s soaked into the fabric???
Our paints come naturally a little shiny. Even by mixing 2-soft with the paint it can still come out with some shine. Adding a little duller will completely wipe out the shine so that it will have more of a matte look. Ultimately, this is personal preference.
@@AngelusBrand Hi :) I just ordered some white Converse shoes (canvas) and I want to paint them brown. What do you recommend using? I don’t want them to crack or become stiff.
What we recommend is using 2-Soft. Mix a 1:1 ratio of 2-Soft and Paint and add a couple of drops of Duller if you choose. This will allow the paint to adhere to the fabrics and keep the materials nice and soft.
Our Flat black comes out a more dull than the standard colors. However, it does have a tiny sheen to it's finish. You can definitely add some duller if you want.
Hey I have a question regarding duller and soft when painting canvas like vans, what quantity mix would be advisable for paint, duller and 2 soft to get a nice durable finish with good color saturation?
The amount of Duller should be so minimal that it shouldn't make too much of a difference. Overall it may be easier to add the 50/50 mix of 2-Soft and Paint first followed by a couple of drops of Duller.
😢 I was praying praying praying that he was going to say I could top coat with the duller lol. I did a pair for my 9 yr old and they’re shiny! I don’t like em lol.
Hello Dillion, I have been asked to paint 3 vintage small suitcases. Should I dull it down with some acetone so the paint can stick better or will the duller work better?
I also custom converse fabric shoes with acrylic paints .. My question is how far do the a Angelus 1oz bottles go/last? If your doing a few leather parts on a pair of AF1 Shoes how far does one color go in the 1 oz bottles I'm trying to debate if the 1oz to 4oz bottles justify the 32$ to 50$ price difference on amazon . I guess it would be based on how many pairs vs how much of one color is being used . I know that leather paint layers on a shoe so it takes some coats to get a smooth full finish . I just dont wanna run through 1 oz bottle just with one pair of shoes
The 1oz paint bottles go a long way actually. It can fully paint at least 1 pair of sneakers. However, you can't ever go wrong with upgrading to our 4oz bottles. You get more bang for your buck 👍
You can but we may not suggest it. Unfortunately Duller can dry and clump up fairly easily if the bottle is not tightly fastened and stored. This method may potentially cause the paints to dry up and render useless so it may not be worth it in the long run.
No, our matte is considered the lowest shine of the 4 we carry. Remember, all our paints have finisher in it already. So applying one of our finishers is ultimately optional. You can also always add some duller into the finishers if you want to add that extra seal.
Hey Dillon, if I'm using flat white and use a matte finisher, should I still mix duller to the matte finish to coat the flat white or is the flat white already dulled enough for me to just use matte finish on it without duller mixed in?
Remember, all our paints already have finisher in it already. So ultimately, a finisher is optional. You can always apply some matte finisher after you apply flat white, but the matte finisher will still have some sheen to it. So you can also add some duller into the finisher if you like.
Did you say use 50/50 on paint and duller? What about 2 hard? I am about to paint some pleather shoes what do I need to do? I heard use acetone first to get rid of, I forgot the name. But the stuff the factory sprays on it. Do I need to use 2 hard? and if so what's it for?
If you are using duller then it is 3% of the paint you are using. So basically only maybe 3-4 drops. When you are working with pleather. We would suggest using nail polish remover with acetone for preparation. You will not need 2-hard for pleather. Only use 2-hard for plastics and materials that are hard, like windows. Check out more of our videos to learn more.
You can, but you will lose the FLAT finish look from the paint. I would leave as is. If you want it more matte or flat, try one of the new 4-Coat finishers we have.
If I used black matte paint should I still be using a matte finisher with duller? I tried on one more part and it made it too chalky and flaky. I used less duller and it still gave it a chalky feel
Generally when you come across chalkiness it would have to do with the ratios of duller to paint. The matte finisher still gives off a little sheen to its finish so you can add duller into the finisher. Just add maybe 2-3 drops of duller and work from there.
@@AngelusBrand I painted over the matte black acrylic paint with the matte finisher and small duller mixed but it still left it chalky/flaky. I just painted over it with matte black paint again to hide the flakiness. But I’m worried if I apply the finisher again it’ll still leave it flaky (I mixed small drops of duller). Is it flaky because it’s matte black paint not the regular glossier black
@@anthonymoran1586 Sounds like it is best to send us a picture of the issue you're having. That way we can have a better look at what we are dealing with. Feel free to send an email to info@angelusdirect.com and one of our customer service reps will be able to assist you.
Yes, you can use our flat white on any scratches. Just make sure you prep the leather first. 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.

No problem 👍 Thanks for watching!
What I needed to know! thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative 💯👌🏾
I only use duller with my finishers, kinda pointless wasting it in the paint when your finisher just makes everything shiny
Exactly!
Do you use matte finisher?
Sure, unless you're painting fabrics or choose not to use Finisher.
elaborate? you mean you would just go in with the regular paint then at the end add duller to your finisher?
Can you elaborate on this? So its not necessary to use it in the paints?
Bro will Angelus work on ice hockey goalie pads!!? Please respond ASAP ❤❤ I am about to throw down

Is it possible to add duller and matte finisher together as a top coat? Instead of just the straight duller
Really helpful!
What's the difference between Duller and Matte finisher? I'm guessing you have to apply finisher every time u paint a pair of shoes but if it's MATE finisher it gives the same look as using a duller or?
The product reduces shine and color level. Can I apply a high gloss coat to increase the shine?
I have been adding duller to the matte finisher not the paint .
You can actually do either or! Remember, all our paints have some finisher in it. So ultimately, adding a finisher is optional but encouraged.
thank *YOU*
Welcome!
Can I add duller to a satin finish to have a final to finish without the shine of satin

Hi! Helpful video, thanks! Now, the only problem is that I've aldready painted my Adidas suede shoes with paint and 2 - soft, 1:1. No duller tho.. And now the suede almost looks like shiny leather. Is it possible to reduce the gloss by adding a coat of Matte Finisher with some drops of duller mixed in? Or should I do another coat of paint with 2 - soft and duller?
The paint and the duller would take that shiny look away. No need to add the 2-Soft. The paint will not be soft on suede.

I buy Angelus Neon Orange for my Bakugou cosplay boots but when I apply on the rubber black sole of the boot, the color don't turn right, it doesn't care how many layers I apply, I always can see the black underneath.

Yes! You are more than welcome to mix multiple paints together to achieve a specific color you have in mind!
Do you use the duller with 2-soft when painting fabric ?
I have a clutch ..from which leather is chipped off from sides..what should i do ..should i remove all the top leather and then paint it..or is there some other way..
You might need a leather repair kit to fill in where the leather has peeled. Once you have a full coverage and have deglazed the remainder of the leather, you can start to apply our paint to the clutch.

Definitely recommend starting with an 800 grit, and move your way up as needed. Remember, the higher the grit, the softer the paper.
By adding a matte finisher to a normal coat of Angelus paint (without duller) would the effect be the same as using a duller?

Very interesting ! Can we use the dye only ? Dye + 2 Thin in 50/50 for leather and Dye + 2 Soft for Textile / Fabrics in 50/50 also ? Thanks !
No, there is a huge difference between our paints and dyes. We only recommend using the dyes for either leather or suede materials. Remember, Dyes takes the color of what is under them. So if you dye something white with red it will turn pink. It mixes with it. Paint sits on the surface and grabs on. You can cover anything with paint.

Thank you very much for your reply ! So, if i want to apply black color on white, paint is enough ? No need to go through a dye ? So that the paint sticks well, can I mix it with 2 Thin in 1/1 anyway ?
will flat white paint be effected if you add duller AND 2thin at the same time?
Flat white already has Duller mixed in so we wouldn't recommend adding more! But you can mix with Flat White with Duller
ALSO IF YOU WIPE WITH ALCOHOL WILL IT RUB OFF ?
Once fully dry, the paint will not rub off with rubbing alcohol. You would need acetone to remove the paint.
Need urgent help... I haven’t added finisher yet but have forgot to add duller... can I add another coat of paint with duller in
It 's not factory but MAT in straf of shine?
Can I ask... why would you use fuller if you’re using 2soft on a canvas shoe? I thought 2soft made it absorb into the fabric more, so naturally making it matte as it’s soaked into the fabric???

Usually flat white is perfect for most Jordan white colors.
Thank you thank you thank you🦑🦑🦑
Question: would it make more sense to use duller or thinner when painting on canvas, mesh, etc?
What we recommend is using 2-Soft. Mix a 1:1 ratio of 2-Soft and Paint and add a couple of drops of Duller if you choose. This will allow the paint to adhere to the fabrics and keep the materials nice and soft.
What’s a good tip for clearing paint out of the vent holes 🕳 in the toe box?
Try a something like a toothpick.
So i don't need to add any more duller to flat black?
Our Flat black comes out a more dull than the standard colors. However, it does have a tiny sheen to it's finish. You can definitely add some duller if you want.
Recommendations on ratio with the marker?
Usually 50/50, really depends on the color you are using. Some are thicker than others.
I have use the duller in every coat of colour?
Yes... just pour out your colour in a pot and add 5% duller

You can. Or you can separate the paint with the duller in another jar.

Hi Dillon, On soft material do you add Duller ratio before or after adding 2-Soft?

Sorry for the delayed response. Please email us at info@angelusdirect.com if you are still looking for information. Thank you!
what is that song called that was used in the outro does anyone know ?
Most of our music from Epidemic Sound 👍
@@AngelusBrand Thank you, is that all non copyrighted music for youtube
@@assann4989 Yes it is
Can you flat all of your paints, by pre-mixing duller into the bottle?
You can but we may not suggest it. Unfortunately Duller can dry and clump up fairly easily if the bottle is not tightly fastened and stored. This method may potentially cause the paints to dry up and render useless so it may not be worth it in the long run.
@@AngelusBrand ok..love you guys, please try to get more matte in stock.
can this paint be used on fabric? i.e the threaded nike swoosh on janoski shoes
It can. You will need to use the additive 2-Soft. Mix that 50/50 and you are good to go. Once dry, please heat set.
Does the matte acrylic finisher from Angelus not help to reduce the glare/shine?
No, our matte is considered the lowest shine of the 4 we carry. Remember, all our paints have finisher in it already. So applying one of our finishers is ultimately optional. You can also always add some duller into the finishers if you want to add that extra seal.
Hi, do you have classes?
Hey Dillon, if I'm using flat white and use a matte finisher, should I still mix duller to the matte finish to coat the flat white or is the flat white already dulled enough for me to just use matte finish on it without duller mixed in?
Remember, all our paints already have finisher in it already. So ultimately, a finisher is optional. You can always apply some matte finisher after you apply flat white, but the matte finisher will still have some sheen to it. So you can also add some duller into the finisher if you like.
So duller is optional ??
Yes duller is always optional
Did you say use 50/50 on paint and duller? What about 2 hard? I am about to paint some pleather shoes what do I need to do? I heard use acetone first to get rid of, I forgot the name. But the stuff the factory sprays on it. Do I need to use 2 hard? and if so what's it for?
If you are using duller then it is 3% of the paint you are using. So basically only maybe 3-4 drops. When you are working with pleather. We would suggest using nail polish remover with acetone for preparation. You will not need 2-hard for pleather. Only use 2-hard for plastics and materials that are hard, like windows. Check out more of our videos to learn more.
When painting on canvas material can you use duller and 2 soft at the same time?
Yes, but first mix the paint/2-soft then add the few drops of duller
Do u still have to apply a top coat?
Not needed. Make sure to prep well and you are good to go. The top coat would be if you want a specific sheen.
can we use matte finish with flat black?
You can, but you will lose the FLAT finish look from the paint. I would leave as is. If you want it more matte or flat, try one of the new 4-Coat finishers we have.
If I used black matte paint should I still be using a matte finisher with duller? I tried on one more part and it made it too chalky and flaky. I used less duller and it still gave it a chalky feel
Generally when you come across chalkiness it would have to do with the ratios of duller to paint. The matte finisher still gives off a little sheen to its finish so you can add duller into the finisher. Just add maybe 2-3 drops of duller and work from there.
@@AngelusBrand I painted over the matte black acrylic paint with the matte finisher and small duller mixed but it still left it chalky/flaky. I just painted over it with matte black paint again to hide the flakiness. But I’m worried if I apply the finisher again it’ll still leave it flaky (I mixed small drops of duller). Is it flaky because it’s matte black paint not the regular glossier black

hi, I'm about to repaint a midsole using an airbrush. Should I still add 2-thin to my Paint+2-hard mixture? :)
Start out with the just the paint and 2-Hard mix and if the paint is having a hard time passing then add a little 2-Thin.
Hi, I want to fix scratches on mu AF1 should I use white or flat white? Also is it good idea to paint midsole with white to restore new look?
Yes, you can use our flat white on any scratches. Just make sure you prep the leather first. 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.
