Review on 🎨 Vibrant Neon Assortment: 2oz UV Blacklight Reactive Fluorescent Acrylic Paints by DirectGlow by Amanda Castillo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Expensive for the quality but workable

I'm an art student and use these paints on one of my main pieces and here is a little of what I learned after using these paints. They are bright and pleasant because they are fluorescent. BUT they must be painted over a white background or the colors will be very "muted" and not show their true neon colour. Also, they are very watery and dripping. I need multiple coats to get full coverage on the desired area. Which isn't too bad as I can't find neon colors anywhere, but they are quite expensive for the quality offered. Maybe Walmart or maybe a craft store sells folk art neon paint? I'm not sure if they're better, but they're a lot cheaper. In general, I love these colors and bright colors. It's just a big problem when I use them because A.) I have to apply a white coat to the area I want to use with neon colors, B.) they need 3-4 coats before they become opaque and beautiful. I said since I can't find neon colors anywhere I have to work with what I have and they aren't that terrible when layered.

Pros
  • Lasting test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Perfect for clothes, just paint a base layer first
