Supplies Needed:
COLORSHOT Premium Spray Paint Glow in the Dark Lightning Bug
COLORSHOT Premium Spray Paint White Primer (optional)
Giant Halloween Skeleton
Cardboard, drop cloth, or other protective surface cover
Dust rag or cloth
Painter’s tape
Step 1: Prepare work surface/area
Prepare your giant Halloween skeleton by using your dust rag or cloth to completely wipe it down removing any dust or debris. Use painter’s tape to mask off any areas of giant Halloween skeleton that you don’t want to have glow. Place your giant Halloween skeleton onto a drop cloth or protective surface cover in a well-ventilated area. For maximum adhesion and color vibrancy, an optional step would be to use COLORSHOT White Primer on your project before painting with glow paint.
Step 2: Apply Lightning Bug Glow in the Dark Paint to Giant Halloween Skeleton
For this DIY giant Halloween skeleton, we are adding COLORSHOT glow paint to give this fun giant Halloween skeleton an eerie glow effect after dark! Begin applying a light layer of Lightning Bug spray paint at the top of giant Halloween skeleton and work your way down. Allow to dry to the touch – about 10 minutes.
Step 3: Activate Glow-in-the-Dark Effect
After removing painter’s tape from your masked off areas, let your giant Halloween skeleton charge in sunlight or artificial light for a few minutes to activate the glow-in-the-dark effect. Paint will glow naturally in the dark and illuminate under UV black lights.
Step 4: Display!
Place your giant Halloween skeleton in a dark area and surround with your favorite Halloween décor. Get ready for a glowing good time!
