You can make you own painting on the wall and can also take the help of experts to turn your walls in to master pieces.

Not only walls, you can make any item glow using this glow paint. The pattern of paint, the colors used, the design to be made should be decided well in advance before starting to paint. It is always better to have the glow painting done indoor instead of outdoors. For indoor painting it is better to go for water proof paint. Suction feed spray is always better to paint glow-in-the-dark paint. Lets see the things required and process involved.

Things Required:

  • Glow in dark powder
  • Clear paint medium
  • Glass bowl or any other non metal bowl
  • Non metal spatula
  • Spray gun
Process:
  • Take the glass bowl and mix the glow in dark powder and clear paint medium at a ratio of one part glow in dark powder to three parts clear medium.
  • Mix your glow liquid well and place the spray gun on the pot from the point you want to keep splashing the glow liquid around inside the pot.
  • Spray one or two passes over the wall and then move your pot around in a circular motion to keep the liquid mixed and then spray again and so on.
  • Never let your pot just stand still for more than a few seconds or until you have finished your job.
  • Multiple thin passes will give you a much brighter and consistent glow than one heavy coat.
  • It is better to paint over white or bright colored backgrounds to highlight the glow painting.
The brightness of the paint depends on the quality of glow in dark powder you have used. Don't mix the paint with any other colors and use it immediately after mixing it. It is always better to mix small quantities and to use them. The mixed glow powder will have a very short life and it is better to throw any remaining mixed paint.
