FAQs

How long does the glow last after charging?

With approximately 30 minutes of sunlight exposure, GlowPaint can glow for up to 25 hours. The duration and intensity will diminish over time and with subsequent charges.

Can I apply GlowPaint over dark colors?

While GlowPaint can be applied over any color emulsion, it performs best and glows brightest when applied over a white background or white primer. Dark colors may significantly reduce the perceived glow.

Is GlowPaint safe for children's rooms?

Yes, GlowPaint is a water-based, emission-free, and odourless paint, making it safe for use in indoor environments, including children's bedrooms and nurseries.

How many coats of paint are recommended?

The number of coats depends on the desired brightness. Multiple layers will enhance the brightness, allowing you to adjust the intensity yourself. Start with one or two coats and add more if a stronger glow is desired.

What is the coverage of the 250ml tin?

A 250ml tin of GlowPaint covers approximately 5 square meters (54 sq ft).

How do I clean painted surfaces?

Painted surfaces can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the glow effect.

Can GlowPaint be used on furniture or other objects?

Yes, GlowPaint can be applied to various surfaces and objects, not just walls and ceilings, to create glowing effects.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not glowing or the glow is weak.

Ensure the surface was properly primed with white. Verify the paint received at least 30 minutes of direct light exposure (sunlight is recommended). Apply additional coats for increased brightness.

Uneven glow effect.

This may be due to inconsistent application or light exposure. Ensure even coats were applied and that the area receives uniform light for charging. Consider applying another thin, even coat.

Paint has an unpleasant odor.

GlowPaint is designed to be emission-free and odourless. If an odor is present, the surface may not have been properly cleaned before application, or the paint may have been contaminated. Ensure adequate ventilation during application and drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease.
  2. Priming: For optimal results and maximum brightness, prime the surface with a white primer. This provides the best base for the GlowPaint.
  3. Application: Apply GlowPaint directly onto the primed surface using a roller or brush. It is ready to use without thinning.
  4. Layering: Apply subsequent coats as needed to achieve the desired brightness. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next.

Compatibility:

  • GlowPaint is a water-based emulsion paint and can be applied over existing emulsion paints.
  • It performs best when applied over a white background or primer.

Care:

  • Clean application tools with water immediately after use.
  • The painted surface can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating.
