Angelus Neon Tropic Sun Yellow is an ultra-vibrant, high-performance acrylic pigment engineered for custom sneaker designs that require a bold, electric aesthetic. Part of the specialized Neon series, this water-based formula is reactive to black light, making it a standout choice for high-visibility projects and high-concept customs. Unlike standard acrylics, this paint is designed to integrate with the fibers of leather, vinyl, and canvas, providing a permanent bond that maintains extreme flexibility under mechanical stress.

For optimal neon vibrancy, Tropic Sun Yellow should be applied over a similar-colored base coat or a clean white surface, as neon pigments are naturally more translucent. The material must first be prepped with a deglazer to remove the factory finish, ensuring the neon polymer can anchor directly to the substrate. When applied in thin, incremental layers, the paint levels itself to eliminate brush strokes and creates a seamless, factory-fresh appearance. Once cured, the result is a fully waterproof surface that is resistant to cracking, peeling, and abrasive scuffs.

Formula: Professional-grade, water-based acrylic resin with neon pigments designed for extreme flexibility and black-light reactivity.

Application: Suitable for brushwork, sponges, or airbrushing (0.35mm nozzle or larger recommended when thinned with 2-Thin).

Coverage: Semi-translucent neon pigment; requires a white base coat for maximum color "pop" and saturation.

Durability: Industrial-standard resistance to water penetration, scratching, and mechanical wear after a 24-hour cure.

Sizes: Available in 1 oz, 4 oz, Pint, and Quart containers to suit any production volume.

How to Paint Leather:

  1. Use Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer, making 3–5 passes to remove the finish.

  2. Let the leather dry for a few minutes, then wipe with a microfiber cloth.

  3. Apply a similar-color base coat first; Neon colors require it for proper brightness.

  4. Apply 3–5 thin coats of Angelus Paint with a brush, sponge, or airbrush (0.35 mm+). Allow 15–30 minutes between coats.

  5. Allow the paint to cure for 24 hours before bending or wearing.

  6. For added protection or sheen, apply 1–2 light layers of Angelus 4-Coat.

How to Paint Canvas and Denim:

  1. Clean the material thoroughly using Angelus Easy Cleaner to remove oils and dirt.

  2. Ensure the canvas or denim is completely dry.

  3. For a softer, flexible feel, mix the paint with Angelus 2-Soft and heat-set after applying.

  4. Apply a similar-color base coat; Neon colors need it to pop.

  5. Apply 3–5 thin coats, drying 15–30 minutes between layers.

  6. Canvas doesn’t require a top coat, but Angelus 4-Coat can be used to adjust sheen.

It's a good hi-vis color

I like the way it looks but I may have used a wrong base because it fell off pretty quickly because I used a different paint brand. I'll eventually reapply the paint but in the meantime, people liked what I did with the shoes and I feel happy with how they turned out

We are sorry to hear that you had to apply more layers that you wanted to! Because neon pigments are naturally a bit more translucent, we highly recommend laying down a similar color base coat first. This gives the neon a solid foundation, which means you won't need to apply as many layers and the final color will really pop as intended! Please feel free to reach out to our team anytime for more application tips.

How to keep scuff marks off

This may sound wierd but I use this paint on the cover of white softballs . It covers well with two coats and was wondering what I can put on them to cut down on scuff marks as we use them indoors on artificial turf.?

Amazing finishing color. Neon brightness is still noticeable after multi-layers of protective coats and dullers.

What I was looking for

The product came in great packaging that ensured nothing was broken upon delivery. All of the paints were exactly the color I was looking for and expected from the website. The free sticker was a great touch and the whole package was delivered earlier than expected. Overall, it was a great experience as always.
