Glowing in the dark

Glow-in-the-dark automotive paint is a special coating that absorbs light (sunlight or artificial light) and then glows in darkness. It’s popular for custom bikes, cars, helmets, and designs.

🧪 How It Works
Contains phosphorescent pigments (like strontium aluminate)
These pigments store light energy
Slowly release it as a glow in darkness (green is strongest)

🚗 Application Process
Step-by-step:
Surface prep
Sand & clean
Base coat (VERY IMPORTANT)
