Luminous Paint

....and what damage could it cause?

Radiation poisoning?

When I was a kid in the 50's, I had a luminous watch that would have probably been the equivalent of Chernobyl these days......

It's horrible t get smooth but it looks awesome when you do.

I've used it on loads of stuff. Works great when you give it a decent dose of UV. +1 on getting it smooth though, you'd need to layer it with loads of clear coats and sand back or just accept it as it is.

One idea I've been toying around with is finishing a bass in dayglo flourescent colours, for UV stage lighting.

Don't do it

I cut an Ibanez Jem handle into a Washburn Status once (Used a real Jem DY777 for the template),then decided to refinish it in flourecent Yellow and Black tigerstripe,hiding the pick ups and controls in the black.As mentioned above,it's a pain in the ass to sand back flat,but when finished,it looked stunning...........................................


Then I sold it in the shop I worked at,the new owner used it onstage!........Oooops.It shone like the sun under U.V. lights and blinded everyone there

...Looks Great in the dark!...Couldnt find my bass with the light on!....Coat Collected!

[MoonBassAlpha]

I've done side dots in it. They need "charging up" with bright light for a bit, but do show up when it is REALLY dark. These were fretless basses.

Any finish option you can think of...chances are Jens has tried it already:
