Electroluminescent Painted Guitar

Electroluminescent painted guitars are THE hottest thing to hit music venues and backyard campfires! Think about it; a dark venue, a Lumilor lit guitar. What could be more awesome? Lumilor is an Electroluminescent Coating System that allows us to spray paint pretty much any surface into a light without changing the object at all. The electroluminescent paint will become a part of the guitar. The wiring and a simple on/off switch allow us to control when the guitar lights up and turns off. We wire the paint straight to an electric current, and all you can see is a clean, illumination. This guitar was painted to be fully lit. The light up paint ...

Lumilor: A new artistic medium

Lumilor is a new artistic medium. There are many possibilities for how electroluminescent paint can be used in the artistic world. With a paint product that can now produce light, artists are opened up to many more design options and capabilities. Not only for lighting up cars and motorcycles, Lumilor can be used for a number of different applications. This project involves creating a simple electroluminescent painted panel for a local Asheville artist who will experiment with different top coat paints herself. Lumilor is a multi-layer coating system that is always sprayed as the base. From there, we paint additional colors and designs, or ...

Lumilor Day!

If you follow us on Facebook, you got the first look at our recent Lumilor day. If you missed it, don't worry, you can catch all the details right here! But be sure to Like us on Facebook! so it doesn't happen again... ;) Yesterday we had a designated Lumilor day where we focused solely on a few light up paint jobs. We’ve got three projects we’re working on; a fully lit helmet, a simple flat panel, and a guitar. Each of these projects were lit in the aqua LumiColor. The guitar will be getting a top coat paint job with some music note accents, while the flat panel is going to be used for a local artist who wants to experiment with her own ...

Video: How Lexus brought the RC F to life with Lumilor

Lexus Australia wanted to show people how thrilling it is to drive the new Lexus RC F. To do this, they painted the car with electroluminescent paint panels down the sides and wired the panels to a heart rate monitor on the driver. Next, they created an intense race track with sharp hairpin turns and had professional drivers race at night. The Lumilor lit panels light up in conjunction with the driver's heart rate monitor. As the driver's heart beats per minute increase, the panels on the Lexus flash faster. Lexus definitely achieved what they set out to do by showing how exciting it is to drive their car. The video itself is exciting! Watch ...

Video: Thought process behind electroluminescent paint

Darkside Scientific's Andy Zsinko invented Lumilor and explains his thought process behind creating an electroluminescent paint. Since Andy had custom paint experience, a friend of his wanted him to paint his motorcycle. Andy decided to do something new and different. "It's pretty easy to get hit when you're not seen," said Zsinko. "I said, well let's make it light up. Do something different, be unique. So I started dabbling with photo-luminescent paint, making it charge by sunlight, blacklight, what have you. But it was failure because you couldn't control it. I said well, photo-luminescent won't work; the only way to go is electrolumin...

How does Lumilor work?

Lumilor is an electroluminescent coating system that is carefully applied in several layers to produce a light. This is a new technology that continues to blow people away because they've never seen it before. So, how does Lumilor work? We get this question a lot. How is a paint product able to become an electrically charged light? How does Lumilor work? Lumilor is not a simple one-step paint product. The illumination is a result of a complex combination of paint coatings that work together. Lumilor lit panels are essentially created with several strategic coats of paint: Conductor layer Insulating layer Phosphor ("Lumicolor" ...

Lumilor Featured on Science Channel’s ‘Outrageous Acts of Science’

The illuminating paint, Lumilor, was featured on the Science Channel this weekend! The show, Outrageous Acts of Science, did a countdown of several top extraordinary inventions that utilize science in the most amazing ways. Which brings us to our favorite invention, Electroluminescent Paint! Developed in Ohio by Darkside Scientific, Lumilor is an electroluminescent coating system that makes anything into a light. "What we've done with our product is fundamentally re-engineered light so that you can have an object that produces light without changing the object at all," said Shawn Mastrian, CEO of Darkside Scientific. "Just by painting the ...

Lumilor ePaint featured in Motor Trend Magazine!

ePaint is making it's debut in Motor Trend. We love seeing Lumilor paint jobs featured, especially in a magazine like Motor Trend! The article coined the electroluminescent paint, 'ePaint', for electroluminescence - it's ability to  light up through real electric power. The magazine features the 2016 Camaro Krypton that we saw at the SEMA Show, with electroluminescent Chevy bow ties cascading down the sides. This car was so cool to see in person. It was painted a 'kryptonic green' color with Lumilor just on the bow ties, so it blended in a bit and went together really well. So many people stopped and looked at the car on display, and ...

Move over Glow in the dark paint, Lumilor is here.

Glow in the dark paint is a thing of the past now that we have this amazing new capability to literally paint light, and control it ourselves using a simple on/off switch. That's right, the new paint product Lumilor is changing the way we can create light. We can now use paint to create a real electric-powered light onto just about anything. Glow in the dark paint, also known as luminescent paint, has been around since the late 1960's. It is 'charged' by exposure to the light, and the color emitted is a soft green color that fades over time. Glow in the dark paint can be bought in spray cans or as additives for regular paint. We've even seen ...

Light up paint on the Harley (aka Babydoll)

The first LUMILOR electroluminescent paint job to leave TD Customs, folks! This 2002 Harley Davidson Heritage Softail Classic, affectionately known as Babydoll, got a special little detail added to the fairing this week. We painted the name 'Babydoll' in the electroluminescent paint, Lumilor, so it can light up at the flick of a switch. Lumilor is an Electroluminescent Coating System that allows us to paint light onto almost any surface. The paint contains conductive particles that allow it to light up when electrically charged. It also sprays on like regular paint so it can be turned on and off with a simple switch, so you can decide when ...
