A new range of light-reflecting clear coating, made using high-index microscopic glass beads, which when hit by a beam of light, reflect the light back at the source to sparkle back like thousands of tiny cats-eyes, a characteristic which makes it an idea 'safety' paint. 

STARGLOW Reflective Paints are made using a Safe and Non-Toxic Water-Based Acrylic Formulation and as such, are very tough and more than equal to solvent based formulations

Its unusual reflective 'frost-like' characteristic also makes this coating suitable for other more creative artistic uses.

Reflective materials have traditionally been used mainly in Traffic Signs and Safety Clothing Applications, but as people have become more craft orientated and resourceful, STARGLOW Reflective Paints are now being used for many new and innovative applications.

How does it work ?

 

An ultra-thin layer of reflective micro-beads, held in a clear coating will retro-reflect the incoming light directly back to source.

 

 

For best results with our clear  reflective coating, apply over a white or brightly coloured surface. In some cases, applying a high-gloss varnish to the base before your apply the reflective top-coat may improve the reflective ability of the paint.

Essentially a clear coating, its day-time colour is derived from the high-gloss base paint colour, over which it is applied.

Basic guidelines for using Retro-Reflective Paint.

•

 As reflective pigments will tend to settle after a while you should stir the paint really well before each use.
• Use gloss white as the background for the best results on Clear reflective.
• Leave Reflective Top-Coat for 2 hours to dry.
• Do not over-dilute or 'thin' the paint too much as this will impair its ability to suspend  the reflective beads in the medium.
• Do not apply any other top-coat or sealer over a reflective layer.
 

 

Please note: Due to the simply nature of this coating, it will never quite equal the performance of  layered reflective materials such as those used on safety jackets and metallised multi-layered reflective traffic signs, but its still very good and as close as you can get (especially Ultra Reflective).

Reflective coatings work best when reflecting from a distance rather than close up. In much the same way as a distant road sign reflects when driving towards it at night.
