Blacklight Paints

MAN!!! I am going to cry!! I had a small gig the other night for a nightclub and they wanted UV paints.... I then HURRIED and bought a whole set of Kryolan UV paints at like $96.00 total.........

Come to find out that the DFX neon colors are all UV reactant and I have all of those!! Am I the only person who didn't know that they did this?!!?!? I am so bummed that I wasted all of that money!!

WOLFE TOO!!! I just tried my rainbow cakes!! They all work!!

I feel like I stumbled on a unknown treasure. LOL

SEE!!!!

I didn't know that !

OMG it looks great!

What kind of black light are you using? I have this handheld little thing, that is pretty pathetic.

It is a black light - light bulb... I just stick it in my daughters light in her room for when I need to take UV pics

Nice to be surprised isn't it

It's like finding money in the laundry. It was yours all the time, but you still feel like you've won something because you didn't know you had it.

Too bad about the Kryolan. You could try to sell it.

I need to buy one of those lightbulbs too!...I have the dfx neon colours and knew they where uv reactive...

I have two UV tubes - like the one he is using in the picture here. Plus a small handheld one (practical for extra light to the face or behind. And a light bulb, that I don't use that much, since I don't want to take a whole lamp with me ;-)

Woah, that's pretty awesome.

You can get UV handheld/ standing torches that are far more transportable - I got mine from a face paint supplier in the UK. Its like a mini radio, almost, has a tiny thin long blacklight tube.

Which brand of paints did you use to paint the arm? That orange really pops.

It was a Wolfe Rainbow cake. DFX rainbow cake made the same beautiful colors

OK as a UV brand comparison - this was my set up every evening this week in the Rugby Village's champagne tent.

Most of the big split cakes here are Kryolan UV. Most of the single colour cakes far right are DFX as are the ones with sponges on them and the tiny taster set. Their neon white is rubbish I have a tiny pot of liquid Fardel UV white which is slightly better.

I pretty much ONLY use red, orange, yellow and a normal black plus rainbow cakes I made as the purple, blue, green and white are pants.

Please note they had especially good UV cannons, a lot brighter than many club UV nights I have done.
And there is so much paint out as 1/2 is my personal kit & 1/2 they paid for so that patrons could DIY paint..



And yes thats' a carrot in it, this was me setting up/ painting staff and trying to get some food i me as I had just painted 14 hrs at the rugby and come straight to the village so was STARVING.
