Works best when applied over a matte white or light-colored surface. Shake can vigorously for at least 1 minute before painting and shake often during use. Hold can 6”-10” from surface and spray in smooth, even strokes. Let dry between coats. Apply additional coats until desired coverage is achieved. Dries to the touch in 10 minutes. Fully cured in 24 hours. Let your painted object charge in sunlight or artificial light to activate the glow-in-the-dark effect! Reapply spray paint as needed, as exposure to the elements can diminish the glow effect over time.
