So I took some garden rocks that were painted black and just covered them with the Folkart Invisible Glow.
- Purple rock: Barely glowed under the UV light.
- Sunlight test: The purple rock was left outside for several hours, but it didn’t glow afterward. However, it was in the shade, so that may have affected the result.
- Green rock: Glowed brightly after just a few seconds under the UV light! 💚
- The surprising part: The purple paint glowed really well on the paper bag. How crazy is that? 😂
The big question for Part Two is: Why does the purple paint glow so well on the paper bag but barely glow on the rock? 👻
So, after experimenting with the FolkArt Invisible Glow paint, and I have to say… I am at a loss.
The purple rock barely glowed under the UV light. I also left it outside for several hours to see if direct sunlight would make a difference, but unfortunately it ended up sitting in the shade, so that test wasn’t exactly fair. Still, there was no glow.
Then there is the green rock.
That one glowed bright after only a few seconds under the UV light! 💚
And here is where things get really weird. The purple paint was glowing really well on the paper bag! 🤷♀️
So what is the answer to the big question?
I have absolutely no idea. 😂
Both colors were under the UV light for the same amount of time, so I’m left wondering why the green seems to work so much better than the purple. Is it the color? The surface? Something else? I honestly don’t know.
And now I have my two rocks sitting there looking completely silly in the front. LOL. I had to laugh because after all this testing, they certainly aren’t winning any beauty contests. 😂
At this point, my opinion of this paint hasn’t changed. I’m still not a fan, and I’m disappointed with it. I wanted a glow-in-the-dark paint that actually… well… glowed in the dark!
After all of this experimenting, I definitely would not buy it again.
Maybe someone else has had a better experience with this paint and can explain the purple-versus-green mystery to me. Because I’m officially stumped! 👻💜💚
