Glow In The Dark Acrylic Paint - Fluorescent Paints with 5+ Color Options for Art Paintings, Decorations, Outdoor & Indoor Art Craft for Adults, Students and Kids - 1 Ounce (Fluorescent Green)

This paint did exactly what I wanted it to do - make the hands of a glow in the dark clock I printed on my 3D printer glow as well as the clock did. The first thing to keep in mind about this kind of paint is that the glow comes from small particles of phosphorescent materials suspended in the paint - and unlike pigment based paints the body of the paint must remain translucent to allow light in to charge the particles, and back out to see the glow. Subsequently you don't get the same type of coverage you would with a normal pigment based paint, instead you have to lay down several coats. It strongly reminds me of dough nut glaze in appearance and texture until it dries. It hardens well once it dries but still resembles a glaze. If you are picky about lumps etc. in the surface you will have to allow extra drying time between coats and/or do some sanding to smooth it out. In my application you can't see any lumps if you are at a normal distance from the clock. Charging it with a UV light gives a nice steady glow that is a different shade than the background of the clock and makes it easy to read in darkness or low light. As with all glow in the dark stuff the glow fades gradually but it holds it's own with the clock plastic so I'm happy. Although it didn't say anything on the bottle, you can clean your brushes with acetone assuming the brushes aren't soluble in acetone, but it cleans the paint right off. Some other paint thinners may also work but acetone was right there so I didn't experiment. Now I'm curious to try the red but I don't have any projects for it right now.

I searched and searched for a glow in the dark paint that would flow on easily and glow in the dark WITHOUT a black light. This was the third product I tried. The first two were epic failures. This one works! We painted it onto my nephew's Halloween costume and it looks awesome in the dark. It is very thin (which makes it easy to paint on) but it dries superfast and you can add layers of paint. The more paint we added the better it glowed in the dark. In addition to painting it on fabric, we tested it on skin just to see how it worked. It crinkled up a bit on skin but not really noticeably. It also washed off easily with water. It charged up easily and quickly under just the regular lighting in our home. No need for anything special. This paint works. I tried to upload a picture but for some reason the Amazon site wouldn't let me! So you will have to take my word for it.

I bought this paint for my Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign, so that I could make the BBEG's miniature glow in the dark! This paint is very loose for an acrylic paint, meaning it needs to be applied in layers, but I've found that problem is somewhat fixed if you mix it into another paint you need to use in layers, then finish with a couple layers of just this. It's semi-transparent, meaning it blends well with similar colors, but not completely so. The paint charges somewhat quickly and glows for a while, but it doesn't charge as quickly or last as long as most glow-in-the-dark paint I've used before. Considering it's a very niche product, however, it worked decently, but the container is not secure and a not insignificant amount of the paint inside dried within weeks.

Had to replace clock movement and decided I wanted to be able to see the hands in v low light. Used this to paint over white clock hands. Seems to be working pretty well. Glows for a couple hours after turning off the lights and bright green color is easy to see in low light even without the glow. Can't speak to brightness or longevity of glow because no experience to compare with so gave it 3 stars. Hard to get an even coat of paint. Hopefully, no one inspects it closely;-)

GOOD: The paint charges quickly, and very bright. It does not hold the most bright for long, but mid to low brightness for reasonable time even with short charges. I like the paint for art project. Kids had tones of fun. BAD: If you are trying this paint for you gun site, look for something else. The paint comes off from the sites rather quickly, not worth of trouble for shooters. VERDICT: Overall, deserves 5 stars for what it is designed for.

I used a tiny amount of the green phosphorescent paint to touch up the hands and numerals on a glow-in-the dark clock that barely glowed about 20 minutes after exposure to UV. With two coats of this product, and about 20 seconds of exposure to a 12-LED UV flashlight positioned about six inches away, the paint luminesces brilliantly for 10 - 15 minutes, then the brightness decays, probably along a logarithmic curve, until in a dark room five - six hours later, it's faded to normal and I can't see any glow. That's much better than what I had with the original clock. It also dries quickly and the brush cleans up with naphtha or other solvents.

I planned to use the neutral aqua paint to accentuate an acrylic painting I'm working on so I used some stencils to accommodate some delicate geometry. When I removed the stencils, the paint peeled off in a nasty film. Even the portions I thought I could keep peeled off the next day. To remove the remnants, I had to sand through the base layers of paint and now I've got some serious work ahead of me to salvage the artwork. I'm not sure what I did wrong or if stencils are just a bad idea with this paint, but I'm avoiding it as a major feature. The glow wasn't bad so maybe it's more ideal for simpler craft projects with less emphasis on longevity.
