FAQs

What is the best glow in the dark paint I can buy in the UK for marking escape routes and fire doors?

For maximum after-glow and full UK compliance, Coo-Var Luminous Paint 255/W463/280 is widely regarded as the best glow in the dark paint. It is water-based, low odour and specifically formulated to highlight doors, exits and escape routes when the power fails.

How do I apply Luminous Paint to get the brightest, longest-lasting glow?

First brush one or two coats of Coo-Var Foundation Base for Luminous Paint to create a dense white backing, then add at least two coats of Luminous Paint and seal with the Clear Protective glaze where traffic or cleaning is expected. Each coat should be applied above 7 °C with a six-hour recoat window for optimum luminescence.

What surfaces can I paint—will it stick to metal or timber?

Yes. The system bonds to wood and masonry straight from the tin; metals just need an all-metals primer first. Porous surfaces may need two foundation coats for full coverage

How quickly can the area be put back into service after coating?

Luminous Paint is touch dry in 30 minutes, hard dry in around two hours and ready for over-coating after six hours at 20 °C, so most projects can be completed in a single working day

What coverage can I expect and what pack sizes are available?

Expect roughly 13 m² per litre at 35 µm dry-film thickness. Handy 0.5 L and 2.5 L packs mean less waste on small safety jobs and economies of scale on larger contracts

Is the paint low VOC and suitable for indoor areas like theatres or stairwells?

Absolutely. The formulation is water-based with a VOC content of just 27 g / L, well below current UK thresholds, making it ideal for enclosed spaces that demand low odour during application and occupation
