Title: matte or gloss?
Post by: rybett on January 18, 2012, 06:48:13 AM

I'm currently painting a set of "twins" with glow in the dark paint.  The paint itself gives a matte finish.  Would a matte or gloss sealant work better to show the glow?  Or does it matter?  I have a way to go before I get to that point, but got to wondering.   Thanks much!!

I don't think it matters...buttttttt....

I would make sure you coat it very thinly as I would think the sealer might block some of the glow effect.

I could be wrong about that but hey why risk it.
