A:  I have used it over other paint. However, I learned to allow 1st paint color to cure an extra day or two before covering with the Glow in the Dark Spray

A:  No, Rust-Oleum Glow in the Dark Spray Paint will dry to a light florescent green color and with proper application; the blue will not completely show through. It is also important that this product is applied to a white or light color surface to ensure the object will glow. For best results, use Painter’s Touch Ultra Cover 2X Primer Spray Paint before applying the Glow in the Dark Spray Paint. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Painter-s-Touch-2X-12-oz-Gloss-White-Primer-General-Purpose-Spray-Paint-249058/202071349

A:  Yes, Griff. It is highly recommended to prime the surface with a white primer, such as Ultra Cover 2X Primer. The darker the object is, the less likely the object will glow in the dark. Periodic reapplication of Rust-Oleum Glow in the Dark Spray Paint may be needed to maintain the glow for exterior objects. You can also protect the coating by applying a thin coat of Ultra Cover 2X Gloss Clear. Please keep in mind, the closer, more direct, and more consistent the strength of the light is, the better the object will glow. Any shadows, blockage of light, or inconsistency of light during charging (i.e. gradual sunset) will affect the objects ability to glow. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Painter-s-Touch-2X-12-oz-Gloss-White-Primer-General-Purpose-Spray-Paint-249058/202071349
