How to use Risk Reactor Black Light Paint. This product can be used on just about any surface. The closer the surface is to white, the brighter the blacklite color. Black and darker colors tend to absorb the light changing the effect. However, painting on dark and black surfaces is done all the time. It is always best to paint under your display conditions. Prepare the surface as you would with any other type of paint. Colors can be mixed to create other tones. Keep in mind that when mixing paints, mix under black light to see the resulting color. Risk Reactor's Black Light Paint is easy to use. You can mix colors and technologies to create amazing effects. This page helps you work with our paints, but testing in your own environment is the best way to see for yourself. The light emitting from the paint is hard to describe and is best seen. Use Risk Reactor Black Lights to view your painted project. Basic UltraViolet Paint Guidelines. 1. Use a white, or light color as a background for brightest results. Any color other than white might diminish the brightness but still produces amazing luminous results. 2. Use just enough thinner to produce a smooth consistency for desired usage. 3. You can brush, screen print, roll or spray paint our Black Light Paints. 4. The luminous layer should be at least 100-150um. Or you can simply add more paint until the desired effect is achieved all the while you are working under black light. 5. Using varnish or overcoat on the surface of luminous layer can improve its brightness and weather ability. Please note that it should not have any additives that will ruin the paint. You can also use Risk Reactor overcoats such as CN1 or CN2. 6. Adjust the viscosity of the luminous paints before usage and stir it until well dispersed. 7. One gallon should cover approximately 350 square feet. 8. Light fastness of the fluorescent paint should be one to five years depending on numerous factors. Bright Black Light fluorescent paints are rated for four to six months outside. All paints should last years when applied inside. 9. Always work under black light, especially when working with Risk Reactor's Clears and Invisible Black Light Paints. Black Light Usage. To illuminate use about one to two watts of black light per square foot of area to be covered. Mounting distance should be about equal to the width of the area to be covered. More wattage must be used if competing against white light. Risk Reactor carries numerous types of black lights to suit any need including industrial, theatrical, art gallery, nightclub, and your home. To Thin our Paints Use.
