Angelus Acrylic Ce Paint True Maize #321

Make your own pair of iconic Jordans with Angelus Collectors Edition paints. The Collector Edition Infrared was matched off of the year 2000 release of Infrared 6’s.

1. Preparation

• Clean the Surface: Wipe away dirt and dust with a damp cloth. For leather, use a leather preparer and deglazer to remove any existing finishes or coatings, ensuring proper paint adhesion.

• Mask Off Areas: Apply masking tape to sections you don’t want painted. This creates clean lines and prevents paint from bleeding onto unwanted areas.

2. Mixing the Paint

• Shake Thoroughly: Shake the paint bottle well to ensure the pigment is evenly mixed.

• Custom Colors: If a specific shade is required, mix different Angelus paints in a mixing cup or palette until the desired color is achieved.

3. Applying the Paint

• First Coat: Apply a thin, even layer with a brush. Avoid thick applications, which can lead to cracking.

• Drying Time: Allow each coat to dry fully (about 15–30 minutes) before applying the next.

• Additional Coats: Continue applying thin layers until the desired opacity is reached—typically 2–3 coats.

• Detail Work: Use fine brushes for intricate areas. If mistakes occur, clean them immediately with a cotton swab while the paint is still wet.

4. Drying and Curing

• Final Dry: Let the painted item dry undisturbed for at least 24 hours to ensure the paint is fully cured and durable.

5. Sealing (Optional)

• Acrylic Finisher: For added protection and to achieve a matte or glossy finish, apply an Angelus acrylic finisher. This is especially recommended for items subject to frequent use.

• Application: Apply evenly with a clean brush or sponge and allow to dry completely.

Tips

• Test the paint on a small, hidden section before starting the main project.

• Build up coverage gradually for a smooth, even finish.

• Avoid using heat to speed up drying, as it can cause cracking.
