Glow in The Dark Fabric Paint - Pack of 8 Neon Fabric Paint Colors for Clothes & Textiles - UV and Blacklight Clothing Paint for Halloween Costumes, Easter Egg Painting Decoration - 20 mL

I felt a real need to write a review to counter some of the negativity regarding this product, because much of it comes from a lack of comprehensive understanding about phosphorus based paints in the first place.First you have to understand the physics of phosphorus GLOW IN THE DARK paint, because this is a UV reflective paint, the paint itself coats and reflects UV light away from the phosphate crystals used to create the glow, so that makes it more difficult to charge than if it is in a clear or white based paint that allows more light to hit the particles.That being said this paint actually does glow, but you need more than a standard lamp or sunlight to charge it, you need a UV light! It also varies because of the color, darker colors like blue are much more dim and don't last as long as brighter colors like yellow. The longest any of them will last is about 15 minuets, which is about standard for this type of product. There are some phenomenal products that will glow for hours, but they are also only come in white or cream day colors, because as I stated, the neon day light color impacts the effectiveness of the glow.Another thing that needs to be taken into account is keeping it mixed-up properly, if you don't stir it, shake it and keep it mixed, the phosphorus particles tend to settle to the bottom and group together, meaning part of the paint on top may not have much or any glowing factors in it.This is an acrylic paint, so it's good for most plastica and wood, stone, ect., but it is water based so it will not handle long exposure to outdoor elements and rain, and as I've said, it takes more than just sunlight to charge it. I have a little UV pin light that actually works pretty good, and the neon colors reflect very well, then it will glow for a short time when removed.I bought this paint to use on projects like highlights on some of my action figures, to make the eyes reflect back and glow at night, so far I have no dissapoint considering the nature of the product. Maybe some folks expectations are a bit too high, but honestly this product works fine for the unique nitch it's meant to fill!

I read the reviews and some people had a couple colors come out clumpy but my colors didn’t. I did had to shake the little container before using it. And it did come very watery so I had to use a base color and then top it with this neon one to get it the glow effect. As for the glowing part, it worked only with a black light. I tried charging it but it didn’t really work. Then again the container does say up fabric paint black light.

These neon paints are bright, beautiful colors but if you want to paint anything of size, you will have to order an enormous amount of paint. I did not realize when I ordered these that each container/ color is only 20ml or 0.7 fl oz. I was intending to paint some outdoor decor for around my pool, but I may have to figure out another idea or find another product that offers a larger size.

So the paints are okay. Very thin, runny, hard to really PAINT with. They glow /really well/ but that's compared to other glowing paints on amazon I got. (I don't have high expectations when it comes to glowing paints.)My biggest, BIGGEST issue is color accuracy. It has almost none. I assumed that the paint would darken a bit as it dried... What I didn't expect is my yellow to turn FLAT OUT GREEN. I thought it'd go from a hyper bright neon yellow to a more tame mustard-esk yellow. Nah, it turned like... grass green.Kind of ruined the print I was working on because of that. Really disappointed. I don't know if my yellow is just faulted or something? I've not tested EVERY color yet. Only the ones shown. I'm not really too impressed with it. Something else to note is whoever is sealing these lids? They need to be fired. I had the lid to my purple hanging on by a thread for dear life and if it was any more loose or the package was bumped too much harder that lid would have came right off. I saw a lot of other reviews saying similar things about lids not being on the right way.I'm kind of very upset about this yellow... Yellow is one of the main reasons I even bought these. I don't know yet.I guess I'd say see ALL your options first. This one is pretty mediocre.

Got these and was initially a bit bummed as, like others have said, it appeared a couple of the colors didn’t really glow under UV. This has been a common issue for me- usually it’s blue, purple and white “fluorescent” paints and inks that refuse to glow. But then I got an actual, decent UV floodlight and OH MY GOD. These things glow wildly as do all my other art supplies!! Not sure if I can link another product here but I got the floodlight on Amazon as well- it’s cheap (about $20) and extremely effective. The trick is to get a REAL UV light- not just a purple or blue spectrum “UV” light. Other than that the paints are decent to use as an artist- surprisingly good opacity as I only needed a coat or two to get a cover with most colors, which isn’t my experience with other fluorescent stuff. The glow-in-the-dark stuff is added as a granular powder that looks different but very cool after having been charged with a strong UV light- almost like colored sparkles on paper. So the glow-in-the-dark is not very opaque but more of a glittery effect- it’s still cool but definitely not as effective as the UV glow of the paints. Would still recommend these as they’re at a decent price point and will probably go a long way.
