I'm painting my ceiling a astronomy theme and the ceiling is a very dark blue and stars are going to be silver

Question

Is there any type of glow paint or powder that is long lasting? I don't want to use those sticky stickers because it makes it look bad. Any suggestions. I plan on putting up my favorite constellations.

Answer 1

crayola makes a glow in the dark paint or rather a kind of clear coat for the places you want to glow it lasts very well and will glow after exposur to light, a black light in the room really makes it cook. ask at a housepaint dealer store, they should have it...

hobby lobby and michaels and stores such as those have glow in the dark paints that are similar

Answer 2

You can buy silver or white metallic or irridescent artist paints.  And there is glow in the dark paint also.  You have to paint the starts first, then put 3 coats of glow in the dark over it.  It is clear and needs 3 coats to really show up.  Only use it over light or bright colors so that it will show up.  You can buy small bottles of it at the craft store or quarts at quality paint stores, home depot or lowes.  Sounds like it will be very cool.  Do a couple of shooting start or asteroids.
