Years ago my daughter wanted stars on her ceiling so they would shine like the sky at night. I looked into STARSCAPES INTERNATIONAL years ago and their ads are very inviting. I also saw a franchise that cost close to $4,000 and realized that you can purchase glow paint at most paint stores. We painted our own and now that her bedroom is my office, I look at my own sky.
Is this a viable home business? Possibly, but you can start it for about $250. Like a lot of franchises, is the label worth the price-tag in this economy? Visit STAR-MURAL and tell me if it does not resemble the more expensive brand. How many people can name a brand in this category?

I'm not really here to defend Starscapes... mainly because they compete with my business. And, I won't promote my business here either, although it is lightyears ahead of both starscapes and Star-Mural.
But, I will say that a person will do better murals and most likely make their $4000 investment back quicker than by going with the lesser priced star-mural business package you mention.
I have seen the star-mural kit and the starscapes one too. They are both bad, but the star-mural is a really bad copy of starscapes. It is so dumbed down that it could only be done by someone who had only painted a very few actual star murals.
There are others on the Internet who will sell you material as good as this guy does for $99. Don't judge the product by the website. The website can resemble the "more expensive brand" because even my 13 year old can create a website.
Also, this guy has about 10 different products that he pushes. He lets someone else come up with a good idea and then he steals some of the ideas, puts them into a "business kit" and then makes his own product.
I would go up against any of these so called "professional star painters" any day of the week and I would blow them away. I have redone many, many, many murals that these other guys have done because the customers weren't very happy with their product once they saw mine. So my point is (Sorry about the long road to get to it) this... You do get what you pay for. Sometimes a bad product is priced high, but usually most low priced products are bad (in comparison). I've gone from charging $15,000 for this same type of product (and there are others who charge $35,000 for their techniques) to only around $3000. But, I also make an average of $2000 per mural too. Most people who buy into these lesser priced business packages average around $100 per mural, no matter what they tell you.
I am rambling... so I will end. But, let me just say that the star-mural guy sells junk for $400. Starscapes sells better junk for $4000 (actually they sell it for about $3000 if you hold out)... but a person will be better trained with Starscapes. And, if you want something really good... then do your due diligence and find out who I am and get my product. :-)
