I have been getting the urge to make some uv backdrops and other assorted decor recently. As such I’ve been looking around for uv paint suppliers. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations? I would ideally like to know what are the best fabrics, techniques and paints to use when creating drapes for decor. I’ve read some good things about system 3 acrylics but thought it would be best to check before I parted with too much cash. To be honest the lower budget the solutions the better, I’m not expecting anything great as I am no artist, just feel like messing around for a bit. If anyone knows of any forums etc where this sort of thing is discussed more regularly I’d be grateful if you could point me in the right direction.

This decor is mainly intended for my walls at home, and maybe the odd party but not in a club environment, so conformation with fire safety laws etc isn’t a must, but it would be nice for obvious reasons.

I’ve got some basic ideas but would welcome any advice people can offer before I go spending money on materials and then ruining them. At the moment I am planning on painting some fairly basic geometric patterns, trying to blag a projector of a mate so I can draw out a rough design on the pc, project it onto the canvas and then outline and infill with colour. Don’t know if that makes any difference etc paint wise.

Anyways any suggestions/input of any kind would be wicked.

Thanks

Yeah Rosco colours are good IIRC from when Sammi made some hangings. The Level 3 acrylics are OK but don’t cover very well especially on dark background and are not so intense, but you can use them for colouring with highlights in Rosco to keep the cost down. Level 3 also has a tendency to turn muddy if you over-mix them (also to turn to leather if you put too many coats on !)

She just got loads of plain black or white material offcuts from market stalls and friends/relatives which made some great drapes when painted up.

Fireproofing stuff I think was pretty cheap, we bought a 5 litre thingy from the same place we got Rosco colours from (some stagecraft place, forget the name now), cos there were so many to proof, and we still have more than half of it left !

anyone make uv decor or custom banners,

or even have any advice on making uv banners. uv paint is well expensive and i dont wanna go wasting loads on something thats gonna look shite.

any websites that sell it would be useful too, cheers
