Step-By-Step Instructions

Step 1:  Gather your supplies. You will need to paint your canvas with an image of your choice or find a pre-existing one to embellish. Once you have your base image, it's time to break out the glow paint!

**Tip: The neutral glow paints will go on nearly invisible for the first two or three coats. The fluorescent colors shouldn’t be noticeable over a colored background in one or two coats but they may tint a white/light colored background.

Step 2: Apply glow paint. Once the base painting is finished and dry, find a dark (but not pitch black) space to apply the glow paint. Using a UV flashlight, you'll want to charge your paint for 3 to 5 seconds before starting. Once charged, you'll be able to easily see the paint as it is applied over the existing image.  

**Tip: The lighter the background, the brighter the glow. Since most of the glow you see is actually reflected light, the lighter the background color, the brighter the glow will appear.

Step 3: Trace your existing painting with your glow colors of choice. You can apply the paint as you would any other paint, but we recommend that you apply thin coats for the best results.

Step 4: Let it dry.

Now you've got a glowing work of art that can be recharged thousands of times! We do recommend charging your painting with sunlight or a UV light to get the full effect.
