Glow in the Dark Paint Orange 100 g – Phosphorescent Acrylic Paint

The orange glow in the dark paint is ready-mixed: stir, apply, charge with light – and the design glows in the dark without electricity. This variant is tinted orange in daylight and glows light orange to salmon in the dark. A true red afterglow is technically not possible.

Typical uses are star designs on walls and ceilings, pictures on canvas, painted stones and decorations, and markings on light switches and stair edges for orientation in the dark.

Properties

• Colour: orange in daylight, light orange to salmon in the dark
• Afterglow duration: up to 4 hours after full charging, in complete darkness; strongest in the first few minutes
• Ready to use: acrylic paint based on our strontium aluminate glow pigments, can be thinned with water
• Surfaces: paper, cardboard, wallpaper, canvas, wood, rubber, stone and glass
• Charging: with daylight or lamp light, as often as you like; fastest with UV light or sunlight
• Origin: Made in Germany

How to apply the glow in the dark paint

1. Stir the paint thoroughly, including at the bottom of the bottle – the glow pigments settle.
2. Paint absorbent surfaces such as wallpaper, paper or wood directly. Prime smooth surfaces first; prime dark surfaces in a light colour – ideally white.
3. Apply with a brush, sponge or roller. Paint larger areas with a soft roller in 2–3 coats; let each coat dry before the next.
4. Several thin coats glow more strongly than one thick coat. For a smoother surface, thin the paint slightly with water – thinning it more reduces the glow.
5. Clean brushes and rollers with water afterwards and close the bottle tightly.

Tip: The paint is not weatherproof. Outdoors and on furniture in everyday use, seal the dried layer with a solvent-based clear varnish. It also adheres to fabric and leather; wash textiles at 30 °C maximum.

What's included

Good to know

Afterglow is an aid for orientation and effects, not a light source: it becomes visible in real darkness, but barely under a streetlight. For casting resin and pouring, the ready-made paint is too thick – our glow pigments are suitable for that.
