Glow Paint & UV Laser Lights
Our paint glows naturally in the dark after any light exposure and reflects under UV lights. This video demonstrates how a UV laser pen can instantly charge glow paint for a fun mural exhibit. The best wavelength for UV light is between 365–405nm.
Paint can be thinned with water or an acrylic extender if needed. Only thin as much paint as you plan to use soon, since adding water can cause it to dry out faster. It dries to the touch in under 2 hours — a hairdryer can be used to speed up the drying process.
Key Guidelines
How to Apply
Prime Your Surface
Apply a primer suited to your surface. White primer gives the brightest glow by reflecting luminous light. Skip primer only if the surface is cured, dry, light-colored, and clean.
Thin Only If Needed
The paint can be thinned with water or an acrylic extender to improve application and create smoother brush or roller strokes on large surfaces. However, thinning is not recommended unless necessary, as it reduces the concentration of glow powder and may require additional coats to achieve a solid, even glow. Only thin as much paint as you expect to use fairly quickly, since some glow colors mixed with water can begin to dry out within hours.
Apply Up to 5 Layers
As with all phosphorescent paints, you can apply up to 5 layers or even more for the ultimate glow. The more layers you apply, the more solid and even the glow becomes. Each coat dries to the touch in under 2 hours — use a hairdryer to speed up the process between coats.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our glow paint
Does the paint dry clear?
The color of the paint may be more or less noticeable depending on the number of layers applied and the intensity of the glowing effect.
Glow paint is made with photoluminescent pigments, which are visible and opaque in daylight. Therefore the natural colors that are white or off-white in light can appear somewhat invisible when applying only one or two layers. Multiple layers must be applied to achieve a brighter, solid, streak-free glow. The more layers you use, the more opaque the paint will appear.
The fluorescent colors with a bright, vivid color in the daytime can also appear transparent depending on the number of layers.
Can I use the paint in a spray gun?
The Techno Glow acrylic paint is highly concentrated with glow powder additives and is too thick for use with spray painting or airbrushing as is. Mix about one fluid ounce of water or an acrylic flow-aid to every four fluid ounces of glow paint to achieve a more manageable flow with a high-pressure spray gun. Due to the larger glow particles being used, it is also essential to use a nozzle that is 1.0 mm or larger.
For airbrushing, mixing the glow-in-the-dark powder with a clear or transparent medium is best to create your glow paint. Nozzle sizes of 0.5 mm or larger are required for airbrushing with 35 microns or larger pigments.
