Hi there matey!

Just curious about a couple of things...

1. Have you used any of that "chrome" paint you were talking about the other week yet? Is it any good?

2. I'm mulling around a few ideas about painting my motorcycle trailer before the winter and I fancy using some particularly garish or glow-in-the-dark paint for it. Have you got any recommendations for glow-in-the-dark paint and how I should apply it? (ie specific undercoats or prep, lacquers, brands of paint, suppliers, etc)

Cheers!

Hi matey
I've tried a sample of the chrome spray and its awesome, I just forgot to take pics before the person I painted the helmet for collected it. I'll try and see if he can send me some.

As for garish paint I've got a few ideas. Ford st electric orange, Ford st green, photochromatic paint (flippy paint) . Or a mish mash of different colours .
Prep work etc will depend on which colour you decide on and what effect you want.
Does that help you at all mate.

I've got a sample of some glow in the dark pigment here. I'll try and sort some pics out for you.

Cheers, dude. I've seen Rust-oleum glow in the dark paint on B&Q's website and it just set me thinking... I reckon it'd be a bit more interesting (& distinctive!) than just painting it in Hammerite or something.

I'm thinking Yoshie tubular rear bumper, sprayed chrome....

Anyone good with PS?

The old radioactive stuff did, as the half life decreases its potency by "half" every x minutes/hours/years depending on type of substance
Isn't new stuff "charged" by daylight?
