dlaery Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I bought this from Component Systems and painted some leadheads with electrostatic gun and they looked gray, the powder is transparent I guess and the lead is showing through. Next I painted some white, baked them and then painted the glow over the white but they don't seem to glow. Now the jigs glowed before I baked them and the Glow paint lit up my paint booth. Does anybody paint White Glow and do you do something different? I have sprayed (liquid) phosphorescent over a white base before and they had a really good glow. thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) David, I use glow powder over a white base coat. The thing is that you have to put on a lot more glow in thin coats over a white base. I do not bake my jigs and then put glow on. I put the glow on right after I put the white base on. I don't know if this makes a difference. When I heat my glow color into the white, the heat from my heat gun activated the powder, and you see the jig glow. Then I just I put my jigs under a bright light, and they do glow after I take them out and put them in a dark room. However I do not use Pro-Tec Glow powder, so I can't comment on their glow product.

dlaery Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Thanks Ted. I'll try more coats to see if that helps, I may not be getting enough on. Its hard to tell and to get more on with electrostatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
