Subject: [CR]Glowing paint Q for bike painters....

I just read about a firm in Wisconsin that specializes in making paints that will glow in the dark for up to 15 years.

As some vintage bikes on our timeline are rehabbed for daily usage, rather than to be period correct, I am wondering if any painters (or other list members) have tried glowing paint schemes for resprays?

I'm kind a of a nut for visibility in my riding clothes and wondered if this sort of paint had performed satisfactorily for anyone, or if it was an impractical solution to increasing visbility at night?

Also, does the stuff make daily riders look hideous, or kind of snazzy?
