My other question is what kind of paint are you using?

Terra, your forum title shouldn't be "Terror of the Cul De Sac"... should be more like:

"Technological Terror of the Forum!" LOL

Awsome... just Awsome! (can you tell I grew up in the '80s?)

And to have the space and resources to have an entire 3-D Blacklight maze?!?!?! WOW!

As always, I can't wait to see it all together!

PS. Can't get over your video: "these kids don't stand a chance"

And your sign: "5 - 6pm Spooky. 7 - 9:30pm NO MERCY!"

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
:OD

Thanks Terra, Now you give us more reasons to hate you.

Terra
Are you using any kind of special paint other that plain flourescent?

Thanks Mr. Grimsley, figured I should warn them at least

Wristslitter, you know you love me

HauntCrazy. Yep, that video is using the Chromadepth 3D. If anyone wants to see the effect that ChromaDepth gives you then buy your kids one of those Crayola 3D chalk sets and 'borrow' the glasses. Then come back to this thread and look at the pictures and the video that HauntCrazy posted. You will be blown AWAY!

I haven't received my order of the glasses yet and I'm not sure they will be doing this again. I piggybacked onto a group buy of professional haunters who do HUGE orders and they let me participate with a far smaller order. Not sure if they do this for everybody. I have seen these glasses online for about 1.00 a pair or less and at times on eBay. If you have a small budget, I'd just recommend to have a way to get the glasses back after they go through the maze.

The paint I am using is airbrush Createx Fluorescent paint plus a special order of Wildfire White Fluorescent paint (haven't used it yet). I've run into a few problems but am working them out. First of all, I am using weed-blocker fabric. Well, the problem with that is that the paint goes through it pretty easy. So I am finding that I have gesso the image first using really thick white paint. Then, I can paint over it with the airbrush. This takes significant time to do. So, I would find a better surface material than what I have. Black painted plywood or lauan board would be what I suggest. I'm also thinking that there are better fluorescent paints out there too. I have to go over it several times to get a good build-up of paint.

Just starting into this so I may have more tips as I go on.

I found them at www.edglassesonline.com.
They will sell my 250 of the for .80 each.
Not too bad.
I had about 1000 people last year so I will HAVE to collect the back somewhere.

I am using 40"x60" black foam board that I found at Hobby Lobby for $8 a sheet. The paint goes on great too and it will be easy to mount around the maze on the walls.
