A fews years ago there was a guy with an orange civic hatchback at a Carlisle show that had the whole car painted with this paint. I think I still have a picture I will try to find it and post it up.

First, let me disclose that I work for Glow Inc, a company that sells glow in the dark pigments and paints to manufacturers.

I dont know what brand the original poster is offering, so I can not speak on the longevity of their product.

But there is a misconception that all glow in the dark products fade after a year, especially in sunlight.

This is true for Zinc Sulfide, a pigment popular in the 70's. It is still often used due to low cost.

But Strontium Aluminate and the other, newer technologies do not fade from sunlight. In fact, they will only loose 5% glow over 10 years assuming the medium has been created properly.

Of course, like anything else, the Strontium Aluminate comes in grades which mostly determines the brightness, not the durability.

Typical phosphorescent pigment can be mixed into standard clear coat at about 10%. But settling can be a problem and it will require constant agitation. The simpleist solution is to work in small batches and swirl as you spray.

High-end glow pigments are not ever found in aerosol cans simply because the particles are too large to flow smoothly through aerosol nozzles.

Here are some links to pictures of "glow cars" that I have found on the web:
