Rust-Oleum 342417 Specialty Fluorescent Spray Paint, 11 oz, Green

Used this fluorescent green spray paint on my DIY puking skeleton prop, and it turned out insanely good. The color is super bright in daylight, but under UV light? Glows like radioactive slime especially mixed with a string of LED lights under foam. Smooth spray, great coverage, and it sticks to props like a champ with no fade or texture damage. If you want your Halloween decorations to look next-level creepy using a UV light, this stuff delivers big time.

THANKS to prior user, followed her lead and painted two metal aliens with WHITE FLAT spray paint. This provided a BASE coat of white to reflect the almost transparent green. Shook the fluorescent paint as per instructions and found (as stated in another persons review), this paint is rather thin. Takes several light repeated coats. It was a 90+ degree day, and paint dried quickly. Was going to coat the 'aliens' with clear spray, but decided to leave as is for now. VERY PLEASED with outcome. Have an LED black light about 15' away from these and they light up really good. Put some flashing LED lights on each to draw attention. As you can see, they "flouress" (sp?) well even though the paint may not have to be perfectly distributed when applied.

I was super close to giving this product a negative star because I was not getting the result I wanted but it turned out that when you use a white base (paint the thing your doing white first) it will give you the sharp green you’re looking for. Before buying and using this product make sure you watch a tutorial on how to use spray paints

Great bright color. Dries fast. Looks great in uv lights

First off, white primer is absolutely required for everything that isn’t already white, because this stuff is translucent. It is not completely opaque like most spray paint. So you’re going to need to apply it to white paint or a coat of existing non-fluorescent paint of the same hue. Second, it’s not chemically compatible with everything. I tried to apply it to a white painted surface and it formed cracks. I’m sure the underlying paint was oil based spray paint but I don’t know what brand. The unknown undercoat was also glossy so that could have been the problem. So even if something is white, I d sand it and apply white matte primer of the same brand before applying this fluorescent paint. So basically this looks great when it’s applied to white primer of the same brand, and probably works when applied to paint of the same hue (which might be desirable if you want to darken it a bit for some reason) but it does have more surface compatability problems than I’ve encountered with any other spray paint. Third, the translucency makes it more sensitive to coat thickness and it’s harder to apply such that it looks even . If you want even color then it’s also more trouble to use. You need to apply several very light “dusting” layers 1-2 minutes apart before letting it dry for 20-30 minutes, then repeat that process for a second coat. If that still isn’t dark enough you might need a third coat. Once it dries it will not look as uneven as it did when it was wet, so don’t worry if it doesn’t look perfect when still wet, but some extra effort is needed to try to apply it evenly or it will still end up looking a bit uneven. The fluorescent brightness seems to be better than the Krylon version, but it has the disadvantage of being more trouble to apply. The Krylon version is darker and more saturated but not as “radioactive” looking as this.

Bought 2 cans of neon orange. I shook them each for 5 minutes... longer even than the directions stated (2 min). First can, clogged within 10 seconds of use. I cleaned the tip, and shook another 2 minutes... clogged again. Tried the other can. Same issue. Same thing. I shook it when I sprayed, I cleaned the tips again, worked for about 10 seconds then clogged. Amazon will not let me return them or discuss it with me. I get sent to a Rustoleum customer service website that won't let me speak with a representative. It asks me to fill out a customer service form that is about 3 pages long... not worth my time. But same yourself time and frustration and do not buy this. Maybe look for a brand with a non-clog tip/nozzle.

Good product

This is great paint, normally I would use 2x Rustoleum but this worked just fine, they look less neon because I used clear on it but there’re supper good

Dint like the flourascenet colour much. Thin coating

I'm using Rustoleum from a long time and usually the spray nozxle is big, strong and comfortable except for this one, the nozzle is similar to the one used in pesticides spray, weak and unconfortable, hence 3 stars

Painted in my car disc break caliper looks good in night or the wheel rotting

If you want to make this paint do the job, you must use white primer and seald it with clear coat, looks fantastic, nice quality paint, just wipe the nozzle after coats to prevent drops👍

Can be used only on certain surfaces
