after some fluorescent/neon green paint & black light





pics taken with my phone

looks better in real life

do not hesitate dropping by your local dollar stores. got a bunch of good stuff from various dollar stores, although they all have very similar stuff to each other

That rules! Love it!

Looks great. what kind of brush did you use?

What kind and where did you get the paint.
It looks awesome.

I have that same door knocker. Love what you did with it. Thanks for the inspiration.

BTW I get the neon green paint on the head and that the unfinished shadow area turned purple in your pic from the black light. Wondering what you did with the eyes and teeth though?

here are the paints that i used



the green came from walmart and the pink from micheals

the purple is from the black light

notice that my brush is kind of "beat-up" looking. this is ideal, because what you do is dab the paint on the parts you want to highlight under black light. i used a fine brush for the eyes & fangs

still haven't decided what to do with the hair or how i'm going to use them (i have 4 of these, 4 skulls & 4 skulls with one eye

I use one of these as a mold..filled the holes and undercuts with clay and poured some plaster into it, then turned out a nice heavy copy and gave it slick paintjob..worked great.

You glow paint-up is really cool!

I love how the eyes and teeth look! It looks great

thx everyone for the gr8 comments

its really amazing what you can do with black lights

load up on fluorescent/neon and glow in the dark paints, everyone, lol!

all of the stuff in the yard & porch is painted and modified in some way to make it look, well ... better. customized

here's a pic from last year
