Rosco Fluorescent Paint Overview

One of the most eye-catching colorants you're likely to find, Rosco's orange Fluorescent Paint glows vividly under ultraviolet light, creating a brilliant visual effect for use in design, artwork, stage productions, and other applications. When combined with other Rosco Scenic Paints, it makes those hues more vibrant.

This water-based, vinyl acrylic paint with matte finish is quick-drying, and can be applied to almost all surfaces once they've been properly cleaned and treated with a primer, such as Rosco's Tough Prime. Using a white basecoat will yield the most dramatic color effects. You can apply the paint with a brush, roller, or spray gun. Please keep in mind that it's best to keep the paint out of direct sunlight whenever possible, as prolonged exposure to UV light will cause a degradation in the pigment.

Rosco Fluorescent Paint Reviews

Paint Was Hard When I Received It

The Paint Was Unusable When I Received It, And I Didnt Know I Had Just 2 Days To Return It. I Called And Tried To Buy Another Pint, But I Wanted The Paint Checked That It Was Still Good, But I Was Told It Wouldnt Be Possible. I Would Think You Would Want To Know The Products You Are Selling Are Actually Usable. Maybe You Are Just Not Concerned About Small Purchases.

Terrible.

Even after 4 coats, I could still see right through this garbage. Don't waste your money, just stir a drop of pink food coloring into a gallon of water. It will yield the same end result, and you won't have to wait a week to get it.

question

Does it go on white at first?
Asked by: Anonymous
Invisible Blue is a milky white paint that fluoresces to a pale blue under blacklight. When painted over light colored surfaces, Invisible Blue is difficult to detect. However, it can be seen when painted over dark or black colors.

question

Is the paint sensitive to both Ultra Violet A and B light?
Asked by: Anonymous
As per Rosco, when this paint is used over lighter colors, it is hard to detect. It works best when used over dark colors under a blacklight.

question

Can I paint on bedroom wall?
Asked by: Anonymous
You can. You will need multiple gallons. I painted a vanity with this paint color and was only able to get two coats. It could have used four in order to achieve the look I was going for. The fluorescent pink paint is very bright, but without the right amount of coats the the white base coat shows through. My suggestion is to paint some accents in the room you are thinking, and not an entire wall.
