Angelus Neon Bahama Blue is a neon acrylic leather paint in an electric neon blue that lights up under a black light. It's made for custom sneakers and projects that need a bold pop of color, and it's water-based and flexible once dry.

Choose 1 oz., 4 oz., pint, or quart. We've made Angelus products in Los Angeles since 1907.

Works on

Leather shoes, bags, and furniture
Canvas and denim (add Angelus 2-Soft for a softer feel)
Wood
Plastic and metal, mixed with Angelus 2-Hard

Before and after you paint

On leather, take off the factory finish first with 3 to 5 passes of Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer. When you're done, seal it with Angelus 4-Coat for protection and the sheen you want.

Pro-grade paint, made easy for first-timers

Angelus is the go-to paint for first-time customizers, and it's the same professional-grade paint fashion, footwear, and entertainment companies use to make costumes, exclusive pieces, and finished products. You get commercial-grade quality at everyday prices.
Thin coats go on smooth, and the color builds with each one.
Want to warm up first? Try a few strokes on the Angelus Leather Test Swatch, real leather with a smooth side and a suede side.
You can always adjust. Dried paint comes off with Deglazer, or you can simply paint over it, so you can keep going until you love it.
Free step-by-step tutorials on our YouTube channel and FAQs walk you through it. Not sure about a color? Check the Color Chart. Unused products can be returned within 30 days.

Common questions

Does Bahama Blue glow under a black light?

Yes. Like other neon paints, it lights up under a black light, but it doesn't store light or glow in the dark once the black light is off. For paint that glows on its own in the dark, use Angelus Green Glow.

Why does Bahama Blue look see-through on dark leather?

Neon paints are naturally more translucent, so lay down a base coat of Angelus White or a similar color first for the brightest result.

Can you airbrush Angelus Neon Bahama Blue?

Yes. Use an airbrush with at least a 0.35mm nozzle, and thin the paint with Angelus 2-Thin if you need it to flow more easily.

How much paint do I need?

A 1 oz. bottle usually covers 2 to 3 pairs of shoes completely. For a leather chair, plan on about a pint to a quart, and for a full couch, a quart or two.

How to Paint Leather:

Use Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer, making 3–5 passes to remove the finish.
Let the leather dry for a few minutes, then wipe with a microfiber cloth.
Apply a similar-color base coat first; Neon colors require it for proper brightness.
Apply 3–5 thin coats of Angelus Paint with a brush, sponge, or airbrush (0.35 mm+). Allow 15–30 minutes between coats.
Allow the paint to cure for 24 hours before bending or wearing.
For added protection or sheen, apply 1–2 light layers of Angelus 4-Coat.

How to Paint Canvas and Denim:

Clean the material thoroughly using Angelus Easy Cleaner to remove oils and dirt.
Ensure the canvas or denim is completely dry.
For a softer, flexible feel, mix the paint with Angelus 2-Soft and heat-set after applying.
Apply a similar-color base coat; Neon colors need it to pop.
Apply 3–5 thin coats, drying 15–30 minutes between layers.
Canvas doesn’t require a top coat, but Angelus 4-Coat can be used to adjust sheen.

Good to know

Paint questions, answered

Quick answers from our counter staff.

Can you paint leather with Angelus paint?

Yes. Angelus paint is a water-based acrylic made for leather shoes, bags and furniture. Take off the factory finish first with 3 to 5 passes of Leather Preparer & Deglazer, then paint in thin coats.

How many coats does it take, and how long does it dry?

3 to 5 thin coats give full coverage, and fewer work for line and detail work. Let each coat dry 15 to 30 minutes, then wait at least 24 hours before the paint bends or flexes.

How far does a 1 oz. bottle go?

About 2 to 3 pairs of shoes per 1 oz. bottle for a full repaint. Detail work uses much less.

Does it work on canvas, denim and fabric?

Yes. Clean the fabric first so no oils or dirt are left. Mix in 2-Soft to keep painted fabric soft and more laundrable, and heat set it when you use 2-Soft.

Do I need to seal it?

It's optional, and it helps. A layer or two of 4-Coat adds protection and sets the sheen: Flat, Matte, Satin or High Gloss.

What if I make a mistake?

You can always adjust. Dried paint comes off with Deglazer, or you can simply paint over it.

Took me 8 coats

It's a nice color, but it took me 8 coats to get even coverage. I'd definitely pick a non-neon blue next time.

Too thick. Applied color did not look like bottle. Tried to thin it out and add a bit of white to help but neither were very successful.

Neon Bahama Blue

absolutely loving the color!!

Too many coats

The color was great overall, but it used many more coats than the other paints.

Hello there,Since Angelus neon paints are semi-translucent, it's important to apply an even base coat using a standard acrylic paint that matches your neon paint (for example, if you're using neon yellow paint, use a standard yellow paint as the base coat). If you have any other questions feel free to email us at info@angelusdirect.com. Thank you!

Love it! My shoes look almost like new

Shipping was faster than expected. The product is amazing. The color was the perfect match for my shoes. I will be ordering MORE!
