Fluorescent paint or glow in the dark looks like the latest 'fad' on cars

My friend's Subaru Impreza


Even worse

Back in the day you could buy a Mustang or Torino with reflective stripes on it.

Yes and that was acceptable in the 70s. Many people did acid and it was ok to look groovy.

Besides, that was a Ford. Can you really see anyone in a Bowtie wanting to glow?

I was thinkind you could spray it thin since its just like a pearl layer and keep the original color and it eould only be noticable at night

Finally a good use for glow in dark objects! This makes it easier to find them in bed when the lights are off

I saw how glowing paint is used in interior design, I really liked this idea, so I bought luminescent paint Noxton which have the best glow strength and painted the walls in the children's room, now when we turn off the light, I don't need to switch on the night lamp. And one more important thing - it is safe for humans (when you have kids you need to think about this at first).
