Step 1: Preparation

The first step in shoe painting is perhaps the most important, and that is that you make sure you have the right preparation treatment. The main reason for this is to ensure that when you apply a coat of paint, it will adhere well and therefore stay put. Have you not cleaned your shoes properly and are they still covered in dust or grease? Then the paint will not adhere well and will peel off quickly; a waste of time and materials. Fortunately, at leatherpaint.co.uk, you will find a wide range of the best preparation products for your leather shoes and other leather products you want to paint!

Step 2: Take your time

If you want to paint leather shoes, it's important not to rush. It's not a case of quickly applying a coat of paint right before you head out! For best results, apply several layers of paint to the leather shoes, and let each layer dry slowly. That way, the paint not only has better coverage but also stays on much longer. Also, it is just as important to choose the best quality paint, such as Angelus leather paint, to do the job. Then you have the added advantage of a durable paint layer that lasts.

Step 3: Finisher

Have you paid attention to proper preparation before painting? Then, of course, you will also want to ensure the right after-treatment. You do this, for instance, by ensuring that the last layer of paint you apply has at least 24 hours to dry. But did you know, you can also give your shoes an extra gloss? In our range of leather post-treatments, for example, you will find various finishers. These allow you to give the leather a glossy finish: from matt to high gloss, for an extra beautiful effect!
