i went down to autozone to pick up some black primer and paint for my new din plate project and ended up getting some of this high performance glow in the dark spray on stuff. it looks like it should be pretty cool. suposed to show up major on white and not so major on other colors, goes on clear. i was thinking of doing my license plate but what other things should i consider doing seeing as doin the plate my get me in trouble. i was thinkin the wrx wheels i just put on my L but what else. come on, i need sugestions.

sugestions i take = pics to folow

Use it to paint some crazy picture or writing on the side of your car. That way, it looks completely stock during the day but insane at night.

Glow in the dark wheels sounds dope. I should do that on my car.

yeah, i like the wheels idea too but id probaly have to get another few cans of this stuff. only 7 ounces instead of the standard 20.

Do the chrome strip on the trim all the way around.

Yup.

Wheels and chrome strip and if you really want to go rice, do the window moldings so it outlines your windows at night. But the wheels would be cool.

That said, paint your rotors

*giggle* do the light housings!

that stuff will be pretty milky because the pigment is so large.

We used to get the pigment itself raw where I used to work, really cool stuff in the dry form. incredible glow power. you could dust it on to surfaces hit with spray glue for a truly potent glow

$30 a pound even at the wholesale level, that's why that spray can only probably has an ounce in it, of the pigment itself

IIRC the supplier was USR Optonix, it is possible to con them into sending you a sample

azn2nr · Post by **azn2nr** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 10:44 pm

im gonna test it out on some stuff to see what it will look like, ie if it really goes on clear.

laurel, i said biggest ricer you all know, not the biggest ricer of all time.

skid542 · Post by **skid542** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 11:43 pm

Nah, don't paint the rotors, mess up your braking, however the calipers on the other hand...

Prof, what all needs done in order to con them for a free sample? There are lots of things I could do with a high quality glow in the dark powder...

when they said works best on white i think they meant works only on white. nothing to write home about. not as bright as i thought it would be. 13 second expousure on this pic.

Professor, do you know anything about retro-reflective paint? I've had this idea for a while to paint my motorcycle that way, but haven't found any commercially available paint. I've thought of mixing my own with the little glass beads, but that would make the paint lumpy and I'd like something smooth.

IMHO I think some ghost flames done with glow would look pretty raw-dawg. But if the stuff doesn't glow all that much, it would probably be a waste of time. Still a neat idea though.

azn2nr · Post by **azn2nr** » Tue Oct 04, 2005 6:08 am

yeah it was a neat idea, right up until i tested it

skid542 · Post by **skid542** » Tue Oct 04, 2005 7:02 am

Maybe Scott will see this and try his flames with it since he's got a white car

I should paint my motorcycle with glow-paint. That'd be dope. Like a LightCycle from TRON!

And you can carry glow-in-the-dark frisbees on your back.

Dude, chicks would be all over you
