rattle can paint question

Most auto parts stores carry flourescent spray paints. I would like to use some of the bright orange but it is flat. Anyone ever tried using it and spraying clear over it for a glossy finish? :?:

Clear will make it glossy.

And if you want it to be bright, spray it over white primer.

If you gloss it, it will reduce the fluorescence :| .

The lightfastness of fluorescent color is limited. Lightfastness and durability depend on 1) the thickness and uniformity of the coating and 2) the use of Ron-Glo U.V. Absorber or Vinyl Cote U.V. Absorber as a protective overcoat.

That makes sense.Im thinkin of using that night time paint that reflects like a stop sign on my next bike.

what about glow in the dark paint?

they have some real cool stuff, its white during the day, but at night , you have the option of purple,blue,orange,yellow,green etc.

they claim some of the new glow paints, glow much brighter and all night long.
