I inherited an old pair of Birkenstock white sandals that had yellowed and developed light brown spots on the leather, but were otherwise intact. After using this paint…

Angelus Neon Paradise Purple is a neon acrylic leather paint in an electric neon purple 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 Paradise Purple 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 Paradise Purple 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 Paradise Purple?

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.

Name is ok. However you got Joker Green why not "Joker Purple" im sure there are more than a few ...

I love this color its hard to pair with other colors but still, its sexy, also and ive noticed this before it was a lil runny, which ive never seen in yalls brand paints. Until the neons my green popsicle was even worse. But still amazing colors just required a lil more coats, and honestly its probably out the bottle airbrush ready. Love your products thank you.

Hi Josh, thank you for your detailed feedback! We're glad you love the Neon Paradise Purple and appreciate your insights on the consistency. All of the pigment consistency will vary. This is due to how many pigment colors were used to make that exact one. Our Neon Paints are in a different ball field altogether. They are thinner in consistency compared to the standard line. Feel free to add some white, or a color close to it from the standard line to get a thicker consistency. BTW, the shoes look GREAT!!

I absolutely love your leather paints!

I am an abstract artist and I love these paints, especially the neon colors.

This is just the color I've been looking for.

Breathtaking color! This is exactly what I was looking for!
