i was gonna go over it with glow in the dark clear coat, but it's expensive

How expensive??? I've always had this idea of painting a car in Glow in the dark paint, it would be ****ing awesome.

i think it's about 30 a can, but they have it in tins too. they sell it at bunnings.

i also reckon it'd be hard to see where you'd been

do crazy stuff like swirls/spirals on the hubcaps, so it looks regular during daytime, but looks like an acid trip at night

LOL, I'd love to do it on a streetcar, imagine how much it would trip people out getting passed by a glow in the dark car lol.

i got my bike frame powdercoated hot red for $50, definitely worth looking doing that way

ANy sign of it cracking/chipping? I paid way more then 50 :(
