5 years....and a ton of pain(t).

WHY IVE BEEN FOCUSING ON THIS FOR 5 WHOLE YEARS IS TO ONLY BE DEBATED BY PHILOSOPHERS, MAD MEN, AND THOSE THAT BRING THEIR CRYING CHILD TO THE MOVIE THEATER. 

I took this on as a fun little thing to do. 

Never thought it would take 5 years to figure out how to simply get the paint on the fabric and not have it deteriorate with general use and folding. Then there’s the problem with the glowing....but not looking ugly or just plain stupid at the same time.

THANK FUCKING GOD I THINK I DISCOVERED WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON WITH THE PAINT but this whole rant is about glow stuffs And I’m about to show you 5 years of bullshittery that I’ve learned JUST to solve this one particular problem.

To start things off, here’s the deal as far as making ANY of these is concerned:

Ghostfreak is easy as tits. Its also the least expensive too. 

Just a few spreads of paint............all consisting of maybe a grand total of 3 - 5 hrs with a blow dryer and that thing is done and costing only $25 bucks.

I would have to special order the hoodie offline mind you. Everyone seems obsessed with Gildan’s Heather Gray hoodie instead of sending the lighter “Sport Grey” to stores. The black stripes dont show up well on Dark Heather so thats always a swell fookin time waiting for stuff from an online store...........versus just walking into a store and just getting the thing.

but, all.....in all,

its easy to do k?

UPGRADE AND HEATBLAST HOWTHEFUCKEVER.....:

THESE TWO THINGS RIGHT HERE???

THESE TWO THINGS HAVE BEEN A MONSTRUS PAIN IN THE ASS TO FIND TOGETHER IN THE SAME PRODUCT.

You wouldnt think so initally. Just find green paint and some Phosphorescent paint.

“WhY, thEY’rE boTH PAiNtS! CaNt yoU jUSt CoMbiNE THem?? eEEasY - PesSy!“

Phosphorescent paints are the selfish kid in kindergarten that ate glue in the corner and doesnt like to play with others. Theyre picky, temperamental little shits that, when combined, their phosphor crystals dilute like a weeaboo in a conversation thats not about anime and refuse to do anything else useful................like their one and only job.................WHICH IS TO GLOW IN THE DARK.

Tulip is some weird science experiment that no one but Tulip knows whats in it and even THAT paint didn't help. Hell, tulip always cracks on me after awhile of general use and folding so they were the FIRST paint I marked off the list. 

(I have a HUGE COLLECTION of Tulip paint too)

So, 

The answer my fine gentlecolts and mares is, YOU HAVE TO FIND THEM CHEMICALLY COLORED. the phosphors, depending on what material they are made from, are gonna be a pale, off color sort of thing. thats what is apparently known as “Natural”. Afterwards, the color has to be chemically added. 

Done right,

and you get these fine gifts from god.

Done wrong,

and you get these expensive, pitiful dumpster fires of paint.

If you value your hard earned money, YOU WILL NOT GET THIS. This $8.00 farce is a runny mess of a lie. I have tested the glow twice on occasion and the green barely lit up after sitting in a brightly lit store for 6 hours.

again, if you dont believe me, check this video out:

I want this hoodie to do BOTH. 

Whats so cool about having a Upgrade hoodie that is just green................but doesnt glow. MissedOpprotunity.jpg.

and yet, 

Whats the point of having a Upgrade hoodie that glows.........but looks like pasty toothpaste in the day time?

Luckly enough, this 7th time searching for paints finally landed me on a paint I can use.

Today I found a product by Glonation. Dont know where they were all my life and I mean that in the most LITERAL SENSE..........but from a video and several reviews, they seem to FINALLY do BOTH the things I need the paint to do. 

Luckly, perseverance lead me to a knowledgeable person at Michaels that told me that to get paint to “Fluoresce” under black light, It simply just needs to be a bright enough color. No special chemicals or anything. Colors and materials all tend to have their own varying amount of phosphors that react under UV Light. Some just react better than others............which is why teeth and shoes tend to glow as well under Black light.

So,

Journey over right? Win - Win all around?

*sigh*

+$13 for glow stuffs

+$9-$17 for Hoodie

+$7 for Jaquard Screen Paint

+$10 for shipping once bought

+$???? time and labor

Total:

Upgrade: $40 - $50 dollar jacket NOT INCLUDING Time and labor

Heatblast: $60 - $70 Because I would need A SECOND glow color and a paint additive to make the “Rocky” part have a bit of relief off of the jacket.

I guess,

In conclusion.................it was a fun Idea while it lasted. 5 FUCKING YEARS.

I guess my next step will be to just make one for myself. I still want to see it come to fruition no matter what. I threw around the idea to make one for Aduah,  the originator of the idea. Still might. I have to still put all of the pieces together and get the paint to come out right on the jacket. 

I doubt anyone will want to pay THAT much for memorabilia from an old series.
