About UV NEON Paint

Starglow UV Neon Paints are water-borne polyurethane coatings containing a vivid fluorescent (Day-Glo) pigment which reacts to longwave UV light at 365nm โ€“ 390nm by fluorescing brightly in one of several colours.

UV Neon paints are visible in normal light.

Starglow paints may be used on a wide range of surfaces providing they are pre-coated with a water based base coat or white primer where appropriate (do not apply over solvent / oil based primers or base-coats as these may reject the paint) and clean and free from dirt, oil, grease and loose particles etc.

For best results Starglow UV Neon Paints should be applied of a light or white primed surface. Do not apply over Black (or dark colour surfaces) as this may reduce the fluorescence of the paint. Starglow UV Neon Paints are best used as supplied, but may be intermixed to produce other colours or tones.

For optimum fluorescent performance and appearance, you should apply at least 2โ€“3 coats.

For best results, apply to a smooth white surface using a spray-gun / air-brush, foam-roller or brush.

If applying using good-quality spray equipment, Starglow UV Neon Paints may be thinned a little (up to 10% MAX using a little clean water). Please choose THIN consistency when ordering for use in a Spray gun pr Airbrush.

Starglow SMART Paints are essentially decorative in nature and are therefore unsuitable for use as a floor paint or any situation where the paint will be exposed to excessive wear or physical contact / abraison.ย  We recommend using 2-3 coats of Starglow protective top-coat if there is any risk of regular wear-and-tear or if using outdoors.

The performance and life expectancy of this paint will be dramatically reduced if using outdoors where there is prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Therefore to maximise its lifespan under prolonged outdoor use, apply only to North facing surfaces.

Please Note:ย  STARGLOW Paints areย NOTย suitable for use onย HOTย surfaces or any high temperature applications.

We strongly recommend you order a sample jar, to test if the paint is suitable for use with your application before ordering a larger size, as our paints are made-to-order and non refundable and non-returnable.

These paints are NOT suitable for use on hair or skin.

Do not allow children to use this product unsupervised.

For for best results use within 6 months of receipt.

10 year Guarantee does not apply to Starglow Paints used externally.

About UV Blacklight

There is so much mis-information online about UV light (Blacklight) we’ll clear up a few main points here…

Is brighter really better?

No.ย  Absolutely not.ย  UV is invisible to the human eye so ideally you should see nothing!ย  What you do see is visible ‘interference’ light (known as spill) and is a bi-product of poor quality inferior UV LEDs.ย  This bright, purple glare is not UV and only serves to illuminate the search area, actually making it harder to see the actual fluoresce you are looking for!

The UV rule of thumb is:ย  The brighter it is, the worse it is!

This is why our UV PRO range are made with a special UV PRO filter which removes all visible light and only lets the invisible UV light through.ย  This produces great, professional results.

The more LEDs the better?

Again. Absolutely not.ย  The greater the number of inferior (cheap) LEDs the torch has, the more visible interference light it produces and the worse the result.

Tip:ย  Avoid any UV Torch with more than 9 LEDS.

Does frequency matter?

Yes. The frequency of UV light emitted determines the quality of results obtained.ย  There is a sweet-spot for UV which is between 365nm and 385nm.ย  However, to manufacture LEDs capable of emitting in this frequency range is far more expensive.ย  The cheap UV torches sold on eBay and Amazon, will use inferior quality Chinese made LEDs emitting in the range of 390 – 410nm.ย  At this range the UV light is a very poor quality and the visible light output is at its highest (see here for more about UV Blacklight).

GLOWTEC UV PRO Forensic Torches are made using high quality KOREAN made 365-385nm UV LEDs which peak at 380nm with a much lower visible light output. This provides the best balance of quality, performance and price with excellent value for money.

See our short video to see why –> Comparison of UV Torches

What should I expect to see?

That really depends on what it is your are looking at / looking for!

Unlike man-made fluorescent materials such as white fabric, white paper and STARGLOW products which all fluoresce brightly under UV blacklight, natural fluorescent substances such as urine and body fluids, which whilst they do glow (fluoresce) under UV light, do not fluoresce brightly! In fact they are generally quite dim, so do not expect a supernova!

The colour shown under UV light is determined by the chemical composition of the substance, not the UV light itself.
