Angelus Metallic Silver is a technical acrylic coating developed for projects that require a high-luster finish without sacrificing the structural integrity of the leather. While typical metallic paints often dry brittle, this water-based formula is engineered to remain pliable, allowing the silver pigment to move in sync with the natural expansion and contraction of footwear. This flexibility ensures that the metallic finish remains intact across high-flex points like the toe box, preventing the cracking or delamination that occurs with inferior products.

A successful application begins with a thorough deglazing to strip the factory finish, providing a clean surface for the metallic resin to anchor to. Building the color through multiple thin, translucent layers allows the silver flakes to settle evenly, resulting in a smooth, factory-quality appearance free of brush marks. Once the 24-hour curing cycle is complete, the paint creates a waterproof, industrial-strength shield that protects against moisture, salt, and abrasive scuffing.

Formula: Water-based metallic acrylic polymer optimized for permanent adhesion and high-flex movement.

Application: Compatible with detail brushes and sponges; for airbrushing, a 0.5mm nozzle or thinning with 2-Thin is recommended.

Coverage: High-density metallic silver loading provides excellent light reflection and opacity on both light and dark leather.

Durability: Formulated to resist oxidation, water damage, and fading even under heavy daily use.

Sizes: Available in 1 oz, 4 oz, Pint, and Quart bottles to accommodate everything from detail work to bulk production.
