Glow in the dark paint???

[shownlow97]

So check this out. I was in the garage working on my car. I was out there for about 3 hours when I decided to come inside. I walked to the door shut the lights off and decided to look at my bike one last time lol. It was glowing a bright white color. I had to shut the door to make sure it wasnt the reflection from the snow sure enough everything was black in the garage execpt the plastics on my orange bike glowing bright white. Anyone ever heard of a paint that does this? Ive had the bike for about 2 months and never noticed it till now. It looked pretty sweet to. Soon as my gf comes over im gonna TRY and see if a pic will come out.

well I bought it from a place that sells salvage bikes so I dont think they knew. I took me 2 months to find out. It does look really cool though my digi is broken so tonight when my gf comes over im gonna try and use her camera phone and see if the pic comes out.

I will say this paint is def out there.. The dumb part of it is it only lasts like 6month to a year. The all the after dark fun goes away.. I would like to see pics though.

I would be surprised if you can get a pic with a regular gigital camera that will show the glowing effect as you see it with your own eyes. First being that the flash will probably drown it out, and the "point and shoot" digital cameras are not able to set exposure rates.
To get the full effect, you would need a digital SLR on a tripod with no flash and a long exposure.

My digital will change exposure rates , and turning the flash off is easy enough . Even has a neat night setting that makes moving lights "run" .

well Mojoe was right I cant snap a good pic. It all comes out in black no matter what I try. Im not camera smart either lol. This girl I know has a real nice digi so I might see if that one will work. I wish the pics would come out it looks really neat.
