  ★★★★★ I felt a real need to write a review to counter some of the negativity regarding this product, because much of it comes from a lack of comprehensive understanding about phosphorus based paints in the first place.First you have to understand the physics of phosphorus GLOW IN THE DARK paint, because this is a UV reflective paint, the paint itself coats and reflects UV light away from the phosphate crystals used to create the glow, so that makes it more difficult to charge than if it is in a clear or white based paint that allows more light to hit the particles.That being said this paint actually does glow, but you need more than a standard lamp or sunlight to charge it, you need a UV light! It also varies because of the color, darker colors like blue are much more dim and don't last as long as brighter colors like yellow. The longest any of them will last is about 15 minuets, which is about standard for this type of product. There are some phenomenal products that will glow for hours, but they are also only come in white or cream day colors, because as I stated, the neon day light color impacts the effectiveness of the glow.Another thing that needs to be taken into account is keeping it mixed-up properly, if you don't stir it, shake it and keep it mixed, the phosphorus particles tend to settle to the bottom and group together, meaning part of the paint on top may not have much or any glowing factors in it.This is an acrylic paint, so it's good for most plastica and wood, stone, ect., but it is water based so it will not handle long exposure to outdoor elements and rain, and as I've said, it takes more than just sunlight to charge it. I have a little UV pin light that actually works pretty good, and the neon colors reflect very well, then it will glow for a short time when removed.I bought this paint to use on projects like highlights on some of my action figures, to make the eyes reflect back and glow at night, so far I have no dissapoint considering the nature of the product. Maybe some folks expectations are a bit too high, but honestly this product works fine for the unique nitch it's meant to fill!

  ★★★★★ Lovely bold colors! There are glo-colors in here that I didn’t even know would glow! I’m mad interested in these. Can’t wait to use them up! Not much in each bottle, but that’s cool. That’s why you read item descriptions, right? :p

  ★★★★★ I was skeptical because I needed them for blacklight and only info was for thier glow in the dark capabilities. They work fantastic. I used them to paint some bat wall decorations for our kids at home Halloween. The bats are punched out of smooth black plastic sheets. The paint had no issue adhering to the surface at all. The box advised to prime and then do 2 coats, I did not need to do any of that. The picture I provided shows how I painted them, just to make them glow, nothing fancy. They glow great in black light, no need for another coat. The glow in the dark advises 20 min in direct light to charge, my picture is after just 60sec under uv blacklight and even then they glowed. I imagine on white and then with smooth coats there would be no issue glowing for a while. Also I used very little paint. I did bats in all the colors blue, orange, yellow(looks green over the black), pink, white(looks blue over the black), purple, green and like a hot pink. Of each color I only used the paint left on the inside of the cap after shaking the paints. Each color just took two times of just the leftover paint that stays on the cap from shaking so I have tons left. All in all super easy to use, glowes great and seems a great value.
