Haha, thanks! it’s so much fun to have Dino hunting Joes, one of those that you don’t realize how much you need them until you have one in hand.

Thank you! Really appreciate it because I always loved your takes on the lesser tackled later year Joe’s that a lot of people either skip or tone down color wise when doing their customs.
This is just hobby shop paint from AC Moore before they closed, that’s what I always used until they closed up shop. For this Low Light specifically:
- base coat (did two, I believe, maybe three or just touch ups):
delta creative
Ceramcoat
Oyster white
02492
Acrylic paint from Hobby Lobby
- neon top (probably two or three with touch ups):
Nicole’s craft studio
Neon yellow
72769
Acrylic craft paint from AC Moore.
So did the base coats so the neon would only be going over the bright white paint, would let them sit and dry for a while, then I’d hit the neon every few hours. Then I sealed it with my spray which gave it an extra shine. Definitely learned a method to make neon, bright colors & yellow a lot easier to handle.
I need to see if I can get this paint anywhere else now that AC Moore closed or find something comparable. Lot of 90’s Joes use neon yellow so I’m worried I’m gonna run out before I finish them all!

Thanks! Love having a glow in the dark Low Light in the collection, haha. Have to circle back and check yours out again, I know I stumbled upon Axon’s while mine was in process. Such a fun version to take on.
