Tips for Painting with Luminous Paint
Normal painting is a bit different from luminous painting. If with normal paints you will be able to work under normal light, with a fluorescent paint you can only work at night or under a dark light. Dark night allows you to see what you are painting as well as the final results. For great results and excellent effects, there are a few things to consider when painting with luminous paints. First of all, make sure you clean the surface you want to paint. The entire process should be done at night or under a dark UV light to see exactly what you are painting. It is recommended to apply 3 or even 4 coats of paint for best results. If the surface becomes rough to the touch after applying the paint, it is advisable to apply a layer of gloss epoxy. It can be applied by brush or by a spray.
