Did you know that the most famous leather brands use acrylic paint on many of their items? They have been doing this for a very long time.
Apart from acrylic paints, you can also use leather paints such as this set, but the thing about acrylic paint, is that not only is it more vibrant and rich in color, but it’s less expensive than some leather paints, and it’s essentially the same thing.
Before painting, wipe the leather with Isopropyl alcohol to de-grease, clean and remove any coatings, waxes, or oils that may be on the leather. If you find that the paint is not adhering to the leather, it is possible that the leather or faux leather has been treated with a silicone coating.
Yes, you definitely can use acrylic paint on leather shoes, and let me tell you, they will make your kicks pop out like no others! I forgot how many leather shoes I’ve painted, but I have never been disappointed. You can either add a little touch of paint to make a small detail pop out, or you can go bold and paint the whole shoe.
In our testing, we have found some mixed results, so we have varying recommendations dependent upon what type of leather is being painted and how the leather was treated beforehand. On completely undyed, unconditioned, untreated leather, the Fluid Acrylics mixed in a one to one (1:1) ratio with GAC 900, applied, dried and then heat set, was the most flexible paint film of all tested. On treated and dyed latigo belt leather and garment leather, the High Flow acrylics worked well, soaking into the leather while retaining the feel and flexibility. Painting suede, nubuck and deerskin can be a bit more tricky. Every combination of products we tried changed the feel of these soft leathers. It is crucial to test on similar materials to figure out what will work best and what will provide an acceptable color and feel. We would recommend trying the High Flow Acrylics on their own, or the Fluid Acrylics thinned with a little water, or the Fluid Acrylics with the addition of GAC 900 in a recommended ratio of one part paint to one part GAC 900. When using GAC 900 it is necessary to heat set after it has dried to the touch. Heat setting can be done with a hair dryer on the hottest setting for 7 – 10 minutes.
Some simple leather slip on Vans are also great if you want to paint the entire shoe, and do your own design since you have the entire canvas. Some people prefer to go over the details and empty spots in the shoes and use a color block like technique, which is amazing as well.
