Test and Review: RustOleum Glow In The Dark MAX 2x 

Check out my friend's channel, he's very passionate about RU-vid and started a channel not too long ago: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bnoL6LoyzVg.html

6 years later and this is still one of the only reviews of this product on RU-vid. Thank you for your service!

I bought this product and you're using it wrong. For optimum effect you have to charge it with Sunlight for at least 6 hours to obtain maximum effect. Charging it with a flash light will not have the desired effect.

Thank you for posting this. I wanted to know what color it would be in the Daylight and was having trouble finding out.

This is the video I was searching for!! I'm happy that you explained the clear gloss on top of the glow in the dark.

My Can lid alone was glowing all night! I am using the regular glow and I paid 18 for it… it says to use a primer aswell before using the glow spray along with having to wait 1-2 hours to handle and 24 hours to fully dry maybe that’s why you got it on ur hands 😅, also you do have to give it a spray 2-3 times also mind you a clear coat to protect the paint will not ruin it! I do tumbler cups I promise the clear coat will do you justice! 🥳❤️

Thx for the vid. It's def helpful. I'd look into using a 12 hour + glow in the dark product. I used it for my kids bedroom when they were young, The SkyScape images I painted seemed to charge well enough via artificial or sunlight to be bright by night & still glowing & morning, & it lasted for years.

Rustoleum does have a video on their site; they also recommend, you prime darker colors with white primer, so spraying the black first, it wouldn't work anyway. As someone else commented, they do recommend 5 coats.

Thank you for doing the homework for me

Thanks Exactly what I was wondering. Most of the others fake it with a black light.

Thanks a lot man this was a great video and it helped me to know if this paint would work or not

Charging it for 10-15 minutes and expecting it to last 4-8 hours!? 😂😂😂

Next time use a black light to charge the paint it works really fast and with anything that is glow in the dark

Great video!🌟 I bought this a couple weeks ago & intend to Glow up my mailbox & possibly driveway so this is cool to know. I prefer a blue tone but all I see from this is green tone. Soon tho once I get glowstones or glow powder in the bioluminescent blue/turquoise aqua tones or something else to my liking, my prudish neighbors who thought they saw my freak flag flying before will see just how high it can fly😂

Thanks for the info. I was thinking of spraying my black motorcycle helmet with this stuff, now I know it won't work. Thanks for saving me over $20.

Hi dude, awesome review, i just got mine like yesterday. If you apply 3-4 layers the effect is amazing, but yeah it only takes like 2 min and the magic is gone... shame

This is reminds me of science projects back in high school

Thank you for saving me some money.

Hello not sure if you are going to actually read this comment, but anyway I bought the same can before seeing this video. I read the very back of can it does also state that purchasing a can of Rust-Oleum white primer can help to give a more brighter glow as well so idk if maybe you may want to look into making a part 2 of this video using the primer it may make all the difference however even if using the product in the proper temperature and humidity I didn't see them mention that it can improve the length of the glow lasting which I think is a bummer

Try using black light instead of regular light

Bro. I just bough it too. And your the first video on youtube I have seen . Thank you!

thank you!

You should test it on different surfaces to see if it makes a difference.

You do know spraying it on cardboard won’t really be effective. That material absorbs a lot of the paint. Spray it on metal or plastic

Thank you for this helpful information.

Thanks! You should go get some lit. That stuff really glows!

Budy, you're a real life saver

Great video. Thank you!

THANK YOU

You went all out !!! Good job thanks

Thank you.

So is it clear?? I want my Moped to be White but glow in dark at night... Can i use this on top of glossy white then clear coat it? And still have it look bright glossy white?

You're supposed to charge the paint for 4 hours after applying 4-5 coats. Your coats were also very thin.

To be fair. You need a day of the sun not a cloudy day, to get an amazingly lit up project.

wait why didint you try a UV flashlight it wont work?

Thank you

I think plastic or metal with 2 coats would be much better.

Did you even read the instructions especially about charging up?

paper ABSORBS paint so any pigment is literally stuck INSIDE the paper , do it on a non porous surface

Did you need a black light to "charge"

Thanks for the info

Thank you..don"t think I will waste my money.

Paper is no good, you need to do the test with plastic or metal.

Does that spray paint go good on wood and chairs for outside I got a pretty picture of 22 inches wide should I treat the wood for it first and then but they glow in the dark paint on winter but the glow in the dark paint on it then but that stuff over it so it don't rot when it sets out here all winter that guy that made a set of treated wood but you know you never can be too safe

I used this spray on landscaping rocks for my driveway. And they are in direct sun all day long so you’d think they would glow in the night. However they don’t. I don’t get it they are in direct sun all day long.

I sprayed it on all my stuff outside and it didn’t work :(

Did the directions say to build up many layers?

Nice vid

thanks

If you had this paint on a wall in a bedroom and turned on a blacklight. Would that work or no?

Maybe a Blye light would help

nice video! can you try out some peelable paint? + clear on it ?

on metal would be a different total experience with glow or no? thanks for posting this

If i use this to spraypaint an alien on the side of a Railbox would it be charged up enough to be bright throughout the whole night? thats the only reason i considered buying this

Just let use Krylon I just sprayed a pair of Hey Dude slip on dad shoes came out incredible it’s clear too cause my shoe is blue and it’s glow in the dark blue looks really nice

If I ever had a house I would paint it glow in the dark.

You didn't put more then one coat of it on

There is a tute vid on this and you have to let it charge for several hours.....not several minutes. And it has to be applied to a white surface.

You didnt charge it properly or long enough read the can it says it will last 4 to 8 hoursunder optimal conditions

So basically this glow in the dark stuff is CLEAR??

You need to read the directions it should be charged while the paint is wet and it need to have a thick coat and dont scratch it the paint is not dry

I wonder how it compares to plasti dip green glow. Also, a full day of sun and more coats. The thicker the more it can charge. I plan on glowing a cooler lid.

Great video

Would this work on a remote controls rubber buttons? I really want to find some paint spray that will work for tv remote.

Need to be under direct sunlight all day🎉

So if it rains, it will come off? 😔

Try spraying clear coat first to seal the paper 👍

Good work

White primer was first step missed! Dont work over black! But great vid 👍🏿

Can I apply thie green colour glow the dark spray on a purple shirt without putting a white layer?

Instead of 'charging" it for 10 minutes, the question is "What happens if you "Charged" it all day?

I have a painting I want to glow in the dark. Will it actually work or will it ruin my painting an not work?

test this on metal or plastic, i was thinking of painting a tattoo on my car bumper to try this stuff out , maybe you can do it instead

Didn't work at all on the rocks in my yard =( was pretty dissapointed

You painted on paper? Paper sucks in paint. You should read directions. To see what type of primer or base you need to paint on.

Designing myself a product may use this kind of paint idk

well, it might work very well for halloween spray to glow in dark

You are not supposed to do that on paper. And you need to charge it in the sun. Not a reliable test

Will it work on slabs? As I'm going to try it at my STW sites.

You only charged it for such a short time. Let it sit in the all-day sun for 12 hours and try again.

Does it have a color by itself, or does it go on clear?

Es usable pero..... no es todo lo que te informan. PRIMERO la pintura que aplicas NO ES TRANSPARENTE, tiene un color beige tirando a te con leche claro. Por tanto si lo aplicas sobre una superficie blanca bien potente luego de aplicarle mucha luz en la obscuridad brillara pero...... en la luz de dia o a la luz ambiente ya no te quedara el producto con un color blanco sino beige muy clarito SEGUNDO Es usable solo sobre una capa fuerte de color blanco como base nos es efectivo en otros colores TERCERO debes aplicarle varias capas de glow por lo menos 4 y no es permanente el brillo en la obscuridad. GASTE INUTILMENTE pues no es barato

Use a strong UV light

These paints are not as good as a RU-vidr female that used glow in the dark duck tape and it was amazingly bright

hell yeah appreciate the vid. same reason i'd make a vid.

Use a white primer first. It will work

Does it work on the wall?

Charge with a uv light

Good video

Thanks for the video, It’s not worth it. It doesn’t glow bright enough or last any time at all. Great idea anyway to bad it doesn’t work

It didn't last long because you're supposed to let it change longer than 15 minutes.

Dude use a black light to charge it .

I have absolutely no idea how luminescence works, or that paint takes time to dry. I better do a review and show my uneducated mistakes and pointless comments.

Your supposed to charge the glow in the dark paint by Sunlight or a bright light for a few Hour's. Not by just painting an object and leaving it in darkness. You need to watch videos that show you how to charge up glow in the dark paint, it takes photons from the Sun and lights to charge up the chemicals in the glow in the dark paint, to produce the glowing effect. I have only a 8th grade education and am 65 but I know glow in the dark paint ingredients have to be charged by the photons of light for it to Glow for a few hours. Search and Research for the answers I Do. Take My advice and watch other videos and watch, UNSW video of about Glow in the dark paint..

I'm far more intrested in seeing you take that back get a refund

Get your money back ? no wonder prices are so expensive for the rest of us everybody returns s*** bogus style

Did you get your money back 🤣

That's because you're using paper.

Now I know not to buy it. Thanks for the heads up!👏🏼

Wow you special bro lol 😂 you would be much better off using UV light to charge it lol lmao omg
