New "reflectorize whatever" product by Volvo.

Volvo Life Paint: Invisible safety spray paint for your bike that glows in the dark.

I'd be willing to give it a try, although I do generally buy into the concept that it's better to be an emitter of light than just a reflector of light.

This is the third thread I've seen on this. One was in A&S and I forgot where the other was.

Anyway, I'm interested enough to want to know more and see if it delivers on the promise. In my case, I'd spray my messenger bag, so There's less concern about clothing. I'd also try the more permanent one of my frame and fork.

Impoved night visibility without affecting other cosmetics is something it's hard not to like.

Depending on the expense, I might be OK with that.

this would work as well in the underground parking garage component of the structure, but with more water and darker than in the video.

ÖRF FM4

but it should be performed live while serving cocktails made with the LN2 facilities.

A local company has a paint option for your custom bike that does this!

That looks great, Jade. But they don't seem to sell the paint, just bike frames and wheel sets and stuff. I could use some paint like that. I wonder how hard it is to spray well.
