GLOW IN THE DARK PAINT

Due to difficulty of application, Revell Germany NIGHT COLOR Glow in the Dark acrylic paint is not suitable for children under 8 years of age. It is recommended for use by experienced builders.

Night Color paint is purposely formulated with a very thick consistency. Prior to use, dilute with a very small amount of water and gently stir.

Night Color paint can be applied with a regular brush and quickly dries to a permanent finish. Apply generously to model and let dry. If desired, a second coat may be applied.

Blotchy appearance is normal, and necessary, in order to achieve Glow in the Dark effect. To ensure permanence, allow to dry at least 3 days.

Use ordinary soap and water to clean brushes and any spills that may occur.

Night Color Glow in the Dark acrylic paint casts a greenish glow which is easily recharged with light.
