    Painting with Glow in the Dark paint question...

    So I'd like to paint a couple of the Reaction Monster figures with glow in the dark paint. Problem is, it's kinda thin and doesn't cover very well. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Should I prime the figure? If so, what color would work best? Thanks in advance.....

    Prime and paint. I'd use spray paint if possible. The lightest color primer would probably work best.

      Thanks for the tip. I've wondered about using Glow In the Dark paint myself.

        They also sell glow in the dark powder that you mix with paint.
        Those who look outside dream. Those who look within awake.
        Samples of my work are found here: Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness

        To do list:
        1:6 boots for Mathilda, 1:1 Romulan Commander outfit, Ursus helmet; Cornelius appliance
        1:9 scale ape's new suit for Cornelius;

          I use the glow powder with resin. It works great. I've never mixed it into paint.
