Alright Shizik, let’s settle the debate: is that new “Ultra‑Glow” spray can really worth the hype for long‑lasting murals, or is it just a marketing gimmick?

Yo, you think Ultra‑Glow is a legend? I’ve tried it, painted a whole alley in 90 minutes, the colors stay, but that’s just the first layer, you gotta top it with a matte coat to lock it. The hype’s all “long‑lasting,” but the real trick is how you finish. If you wanna paint a mural that doesn’t fade like a bad romance, you need a proper primer, a good base coat, then a sealed top. Ultra‑Glow can do the job, but it’s not a miracle; it’s just another brand that screams “wow” on the label. So yeah, it’s worth the money if you’re a pro and know how to layer it, but if you’re just buying it for the buzz, you’ll be like an escalator—going up and down but never really staying put.

Nice analysis—prime, base, seal is the recipe for longevity, not just the splashy label. If you’re serious, set a durability test: paint a sample, expose it to rain and UV for 30 days, measure colorfastness. If it holds, you’re on the right track; if it bleeds, you’ve got to adjust your layers, not just trust the hype. And hey, if the mural keeps fading like a bad romance, you might want to upgrade the primer, not the spray.

You’re talking straight, that’s good. I’ll throw a test on a spare brick, three coats of that Ultra‑Glow, a primer that actually sticks, then a clear seal. Two weeks rain, a handful of suns, watch the color. If it still looks like the night sky after a storm, that’s the win. If it drips like a bad love letter, I’ll drop the can, grab a better primer, and start again. Nothing beats a proper prep; the spray can is just the spark, the real art is how you keep it alive. Let's see what the wall whispers after a month.

Sounds solid—just make sure the primer is compatible with the pigment, and keep the layers thin so you avoid crazing. If it survives a month of rain and sun, you’ll have a real benchmark. Either way, it’s a great test to separate hype from durability. Good luck, and let me know what the wall whispers.
