glow in the dark paint

johnnysmitch:
Anyone here ever use glow in the dark paint on part of their cabs?    I'm considering using some for accenting my CP, as there seems to be some pretty high grade stuff available lately (glowinc.com, readysetglo.com)  Any experience/thoughts?

Crazy Cooter:
I tried some about 5 years ago on a coffee table.  Worked great... for about 2 days.  It wasn't durable at all.  Of course that was some cheap stuff that I probably paid $2 for.

I don't have any experience with the commercial premix versions of this, but I've made my own at home using screenprinting pigment mixed with spray clear.
The two issues I think you may run into with it are durability and longevity.

For durability, you are probably going to need to spray a clearcoat over it.
There's not much you can do about the longevity of it.
Phosphorescent pigment "wears out" over time, and needs to be redone.

You might see if they give you any idea of how long it will last before you commit to it.

Hoagie_one:
wonder if you clear coat it if it would be more durable then

RayB:
Glow in the dark, or florescent?

Im not sure why you'd want glow in the dark. You can only see that stuff glow if the lights are all off.

I think what you want is florescent for use with a black light??
