SpaceBeams Concentrated Glow in the Dark Paint - Bright Green, Aurora 20ml

This glow in the dark paint works really well; and glows a noticeable green/yellow colour in darkness. It is however important to note that the paint is still visible in normal light, it isn't transparent in light. The paint itself it a creamy/light green colour, and relatively thick in consistency. This means that although it doesn't flow particularly well, it also doesn't spread unintentionally or run off anything you are trying to paint on. Aside from its novelty value, I think that this product has a number of great uses. For example, I have painted a strip of the paint on my phone case and my TV remote control, to make it easier to find these things when in a dark room I'm thinking of devising some shape based system so that I can use it to match my phone with charging pad or dock depending on the shape... The uses are what you make them really... They could be used for arts It would be great for a kids room who likes space and stars or something like that...I used to have something similar in my bedroom when I was little and I think this would be perfect for anyone who has kids... It glows relatively green which is good but it needs to be in reasonable daylight to charge up as such...I found my tv remote maybe isn't as bright as I would have initially liked because I store it in a black wooden unit when not in use where it doesn't get much daylight... But the strip I painted on the underside of the door handle glow a green so that you can see the glow without it damaging the handle... It makes it easy to spot if you need something in then night! For the price, I think the product is great. I certainly would recommend.

I have tried a lot of glow paint, powdered and ready mixed. This is BY FAR the best I have tried. Charged with sunlight and the glow was great. A quick run over with a torch and it went from bright to stellar bright. So pleased. The paint has a very slight grainy texture (which is the pigments which don’t dissolve in the carrier I’m guessing). The brush dried out quickly when left so I had to work fast. I didn’t mix with water at all because I wanted a super bright finish and I’m impatient. I think next time I will slightly thin the paint and do more layers to get an even finish. Also, I have to add, the paint has a greenish glow even when not charged, so it did dull my Titanium white acrylic highlights. However when painting I struggled to see where I had been so I would recommend painting under a black light perhaps?! I will DEFINITELY be adding this to more of my work. It’s STUNNING.

This is good paint with a very good glow. The texture of the paint is weird, it is hard to cover every spot, which leaves some darker spots (definitely do not use for fine lines), it is a good paint if you use enough to cover the area. It glows for a decent amount of time and I recommend getting a UV to intesify the glow. It even glows a bit from under dark paint (yeah I tried fixing my lines by using dark paint and this paint glowed a bit from under the black paint xD so defo it has amazing glow properties). the paint after drying has a texture similar to dried spirit gum. It can peel off if you're not careful after it dries. If used to cover items or maybe for drawing shapes on the wall it can be really amazing, but I don't recommend using it for canvas painting.

Superb. Just water it down 50/50 mix first!

I wanted to use this for painting larger models, but it turned out to be a complete write-off. This is the first product I've given 1 star but I feel it deserves it, considering how much they dress it up in the description. Upon getting the paint I decided to check it under UV light and in the dark. It definitely has some glow, though probably about 70% of what you would expect from glow-paint and doesn't really have much of a cyan/turqouise hue at all (You're better off going for the normal greeny-white if you want a decent glow). No biggie, though, I figured I'd try it out anyway. So I crack open the pot and immediately I notice how jelly-like the consistency looks. It wobbles like a creme caramel and holds its shape as I dip the brush in. Not a good sign. I get it onto the wet pallette and mix in a bit of acrylic thinner and flow improver and begin to work it to an even consistency. I have a blacklight overhead so I can see easily where all the glow paint is on my pallette, but already I can see how large the glow particle size is. They're floating around in the solution, like sand in water, and there's no consistent colour even though it's mixed thoroughly. I can't tell if it's a magnetic charge thing, but the particles seem to want to stay in the reservoir of the brush, instead of being applied to the surface and, in general, the paint has a really greasy feel. This makes painting an absolute ordeal as one has little to no control over the brush and you have to really blob it on to get anywhere. Lots of thin layers almost works, but you'll get more of the acrylic medium on your surface than the glow particles. On drying I found myself left with a thick white crust, even in areas where the particles had not really adhered well. Honestly I had such high hopes for this paint but it fell short at every turn. This might be okay for painting on wallpaper but don't even bother trying anything precise with it.

Can't fault how bright this glows but it is really hard to apply. It has a jelly-like texture which is impossible to brush on as the brush just pushes it away from where you are trying to apply it. I wanted to add some uv details to something i had painted and ended up having to fill in the areas by dotting globs on and trying to join them together. Impressed by the glow - unimpressed by usability. Purchase if you want to make glowing dot blobs on something!

Used on my alarm clock seems fairly effective-used a cotton bud to apply.

Lovely and bright

Space beams glow in the dark paint is pretty good to use however it is not easy to use if you are a first time buyer, here are some things to expect when using this glow paint (and some of this applies to other glow paints as well). 1. Glow paint is glow powder pigments that are suspended in a clear medium. The paint consistency is similar to that of liquid glue, and at times you will probably need to thin it out with water or some kind of paint thinner. Keep in mind that the thicker the paint = the brighter the glow. If you plan on keeping the paint as is, expect to use around 3 coats, and expect use 4 coats or more if you are planning to thin the paint out. 2. The glow paint dries on pretty rough, it’s about as rough as a cheap nail file, but slightly less coarse. However, it holds the glow pigment particles pretty well, and I rarely had issues with particles flaking off. If you want to be assured that the glow paint is not going to come off you can use any kind of gloss or clear nail polish to cover the glow paint once you're done painting. For my polymer clay slugs I used clear nail polish. 3. The stuff isn't the easiest in regards to clean up. Sometimes the paint will dry on a desk, and that is probably the easiest part to clean up as a wet paper towel will do the trick. When you're cleaning brushes with soap and water, you may end up getting some of the glow paint on your hands. This will be a little harder to clean off as the glow paint may not be visible unless you use a UV light. Finally, if you are using a cup of water to rinse your brushes before you fully wash them make sure that you pour that water as neatly down the drain as possible, or else you'll end up with a glowing sink. The glow paint is hard to see in daylight so you may have to wait until night to clean it up. 4. Before you paint the glow paint onto a surface, I highly recommend you paint that surface with at least one or two coats of any white acrylic paint. This allows the glow paint to show up better at night, and I theorize that the glow paint will stick better to a surface that already has acrylic paint on it. If you can't get white acrylic paint use a light color as close to white as possible. Be prepared as both of these paints do not dry clear, and will appear off-white. This is especially prevalent in the green glow paint. Here's some advice that I would give to anybody using this glow paint and any other glow paint on the market, as well as things I noticed when using this paint. First off get a UV light. UV lights can charge this glow paint in about 10 seconds or less. It'll save you a lot of time and will actually work out better for outside projects because as the sun sets the glow gets weaker before you can fully see the effect in the dark. You will also be able to look at your progress as you are painting rather than blindly guess where the paint is going. In addition to a UV light, I found that I was able to charge the paint with the heat that a blow dryer produces. This is best used on paper where the paint is able to be heated up fairly quickly and is on a flat surface.The glow seems to dissipate quicker compared to when a UV light or sunlight is used though. In pictures, the green glow paint will sometimes appear sea green and the aqua glow paint will appear more blue than aqua. A little goes a long way. You will not need too much water to thin out this paint. This may sound like common sense, but glow paint works best when it is used in a completely dark area. In regards to both of the glow paints, the green all around is slightly better than the aqua when it comes to the brightness and the longevity of the glow. However, the off-white of the green is more noticeable and green tends to be a more common glow color than aqua. Both of these glow paints can glow for at least an hour and that is low-balling it to the extreme. I suspect that both of these glow paints can glow for at least 3 hours when charged beforehand. They are both bright enough that when charged they can be visible in a semi-dark area. My one complaint is that there are other glow paint companies that offer more paint in the jar for slightly less (1fl oz at $7.99 vs spacebeams with .68 fl oz at $8.99). Some other companies offer more colors of glow paint as well. My guess for the slightly higher price is that when you purchase spacebeams paint you also get access to their stencils at no additional charge, which is great for people who want to use the stencils. I will test this paint against other paints in due time but for now this is a really solid paint that arrived in perfect condition.

Vraiment magnifique peinture jai réalisé un effet sur ma figurine reçu rapidement tout était parfait merci beaucoup très belle effet au soir

Eccellente articolo la vernice funziona benissimo al buio, molto brillante Non è liquida un semi denso Da provare negli altri colori

Lo hemos usado para dar algunos toques de pintura luminosa a un sistema solar de madera que hemos pintado. La pintura es realmente luminosa, en las fotos no se aprecia bien lo que brillan los planetas, en el bote a oscuras se nota más. La pintura es fácil de aplicar, aunque tienes la dificultad de que al no tener color no sabes por donde has pasado. Se seca bastante rápido, no deja color aunque si un poco de textura rugosa casi inapreciable, solo se nota al pasar la mano. El bote es pequeñito para el precio que tiene, pero espero que nos dure bastante para este tipo de trabajos porque el resultado es muy bueno y divertido.

Not happy with my purchase: 1. The aqua appears to be blue in pictures, but for the normal eye it's still very green. 2. It said it's applicable on glass, but it's not. Tried by using a brush but it's way too thin since it doesn't stick. Also tried using tamponing method if it's sticking it's very splotchy (and only the ticker splotches light up).
