I saw a pic on Pinterest where someone used glow in the dark paint on planters. Will this paint work? Will it wash off?

I think if you used a clear coat over the glow paint the glow paint would stay on.

As long as you can get it to stick, you should be fine. We used this on the pipe from our wood stove back to the chimney to turn it from silver to black, so I'd imagine it would work in other locations. you might need to clean thoroughly and sand first though. Try it and see how it works. The key is this is high temperature resistant paint, so it wont bubble and burn off.

As Krylon Fusion is advertised as "Bonds to Plastic" and "The no-prep, superbond paint for Plastic", I'd guess that it should work well on 'plastic drums' used for outdoor garden planters. I used Krylon Fusion to paint Trangia (polythene) fuel bottles (originally red) with green Fusion paint, even after online research told me "paint would not stick to polythene." I wanted to visually distinguish 'alcohol fuel bottles' from 'coleman fuel bottles'. Due to the polythene material, I allowed a longer (overnight) drying time, and applied two coats. I've been very pleased and impressed with the results, and the paint seems to be fairly resistant to fuel that spills onto the paint. I don't know your plastic drum composition, but I'd guess Krylon Fusion should work pretty well for your use and outdoor environment.

No it did not glow in the dark. It turned a funky color, dirty looking around the edges after we cleaned the toilet lid one time. I ended up taking it off after that as the edges did not even want to stick. It did the trick though. My fifty year old nephew only had to see it once to get the idea. For a prank or party I would recommend it but not for long term.

The first time I bought these, it was to use on rough dark brown cover stock. I experimented a little bit because one layer right out of the packaging wasn't quite bright enough. It'll work very well if you shake (mix) it very vigorously before hand to distribute the paint in the solvent and get the paint flowing and check the opacity on a scrap piece beforehand. At that point, one layer should have like 75-80% opacity, which is okay. If you want it to be 100%, let the first layer dry completely before going over it again delicately. If you push down too hard on the second pass it'll dig into the first layer and the solvent will redissolve it a little bit and gunk it up. If you want the absolute best results, and ANY results with several colors, especially dark colors over light colors, you'll need to fix each layer between coats with some sort of clear-coat. I use Rustoleum Crystal Clear Enamel... I've also used Painter's Touch Satin Clear when I didn't want too much gloss. Use a medium clear-coat for each overlap and it'll both darken the background and make the colors pop more. Good luck.

I sanded down the old RustOleum paint and used IdeaPaint. IdeaPaint works as designed. I've had it for about 18 months now and it still works great.

We use it on our solid oak floors. It is basically colorless after buffing, only leaving a "glow". Have had no problems.

person below is WRONG (or at least, wrong for the reason they give: ) I just got off the phone with rustoleum and point blank asked them: I want to use this on lumber to build a raised bed garden. is this safe? he said absolutely. the copper based ingredient does not leach into soil or into the root system of plants. he said the only thing they recommend against is treating it in wood that woul then be submerged in drinking water, and I would suspect that is just an abundance of caution. but for greenhouses or raised bed gardens, he said there is no concern at all. an answerer to another question posted this helpful pdf that looks like the product insert sheet http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/pdfImages/6c/6c4778d3-b6fe-4468-944b-80c038ab71e7.pdf and in there it also , among the list of uses, says "planters". I know in this day and age of heightened concerns of "pure" and "natural" etc there will be people like the below answerer who will kneejerk react and say "no way, chemicals!1!!1!" but people, come on. I guess, if you want to go all natural, then weave yourself a wicker basket and tend to it weekly. if you want wood that wont rot that you can plant food next to, use this and dont freak out.

the water based paint is perfect for clay pots. please note the white is not our brightest paint, if it is not getting the proper light it needs to charge, it will not glow to its ability. I will suggest the ultra-green water based paint.

I would say yes, it would dull the effects of the metallic paint. Since this is a wax it creates a barrier that will cause a slight clouding of any finish. I would really suggest this for only unpainted or stained woods since it will bring out the grains in those. I can't really see this working well for any painted finish. However, I would be happy to try it out and let you know how it reacts!

I used it on old painted brick and it came off completely! Be sure and cover it with plastic bags for about 3 days so it doesn't dry out and I have no doubt it will work.

It looks dark in the can but unless you apply it really heavy you should be fine. I have salt in mine but this isn't a cover up!

Hi Jenny. I wish I could give you a positive answer but there are so many variables when spraying over a painted surface. The best I can offer is that I feel pretty confident that it would work (but no guarantee). My suggestion would be to spray several coats of the spray and it should certainly dull the surface. The product dries quickly, usually within a few minutes so you can respray without too much waiting. Best regards, Harve E.

It should work like any other shellac polish. Make sure you shake it before you use it and put scrub fresh on the nails before painting. Some of the colors pull back a little when they are cured in the light but the second coat usually covers that. So in not sure what happened ? Good luck

Unfortunately, mixing with non-glow paint will dilute the effects of the glow paint. You can however, buy other colors that glow in the dark.

No It's not made for that but their are body paints that are . Here is one that Amazon sells http://www.amazon.com/Glominex-Glow-Dark-Face-Paint/dp/B00E83EGCI/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1399583772&sr=8-8&keywords=glow+in+the+dark+body+paint

I pulled back a corner on ours just to see if I could answer your question. Our wall is semi gloss and the decal has been up for about a year in a sunny California bedroom. It didn't pull the paint off, but it did either lift the sheen off the paint or it left a very very dull residue. If I took the whole thing off, I could probably tell something was there before... good luck!
