Review on Pack Real Leather Acrylic Paint by Carla Anderson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked great for changing the color of my Cole Haan shoes! A little patience gave a lot of good wear.

I had beautiful rose gold colored metallic leather shoes that I didn't wear because they didn't match anything. I first applied blue masking tape to the sole and edges, then removed the original leather trim with Angelus Leather Glaze Remover. I read that this step was important for the paint to adhere better and not crack or peel, but it was intimidating because it completely removed all of the original shoe paint. With all 4 shades of this color I actually mixed my shade of medium platinum. It took 4 thin coats for even coverage. I let the polish dry for 24 hours and then sealed it with Angelus Satin Gloss Leather Finisher. Now I really enjoy my custom shoes! They look bought. The finish was solid with no issues and comparable to my other metal pairs that have not been repainted.
