Angelus Acrylic Ce Paint Varsity

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.
