I bought Rustoleum Glow in the dark paint (spray) to paint large stepping stone type pavers to create an illuminated walkway at night. I live in the Everglades and it is very dark and spooky at night. It is not working to absorb the sun as stated . Did I miss a step ? was I supposed to prime them in some way first ?

When it dried, did you coat it with a sealent so that it would survive the wear and tear?
It didn't work for me either and I have sprayed them several times! Full sun too!
GO to Walmart & look in the CRAFTS section. Get some Paint-On glow in the dark paint. It comes in bottles or paint cans. Prop them up on some tin cans for height. With a brush, paint the top & sides of each one. Let dry overnight as is. Get a can of CLEAR spray paint THAT's made for concrete. It will act as a sealer for them. Once dried, spray an even coat over the top & sides. Let dry overnight right side up. Once dried, turn them over & spray the underside. Let it dry completely too. Place in your yard & watch the difference. GOOD LUCK! :)
Have you tried anything else that has worked ?
Try and get a good sealer coat of primer on the stones first, then use the paint and then protect coat. ( I personally found most glow paints don't work except in the kid's bedrooms)
