Default It Glows......
May have an odd idea for paint trim. Found Glow-in-the-Dark paint products. I'm thinking stripes and the "Camaro" lettering on the back, maybe some trimming...

I figure it's no more odd than neon lights, but I can't seam to find any examples on a car. Help me out guys.....

BTW, here's the paint link

I second that. That paint would be good for advertising though.

That'd work nice for pin stripes but I wouldn't go much bigger than that. I think Duplicolor makes some stuff like that too.

Any idea what the longevity of it is?
I think itd be a cool idea for outlining the stripes or something, but alot of stuff only retains its luminesence for a bit.

Isn't this pretty much a waste of money since the paint has to "charge" then only glows for 30 minutes on most of the colors you list?...

Pinstripes might look nice, I like that idea. Longevity goes from 30 min to 2 hours, depends on the mix purchased.

I just need to see it on something.....

iv painted with this stuff before on a bike. you have to get it EXTREMELY thick for it to work. Most of the time it is hardly noticable.
Now a tron style trans am sounds creative to me lol

That would be epic to change the print on the back of the car to say that as well...

I'll send someone $10 to get them started on it :-p

Better idea, consider electroluminescent vinyl.

Not sure which ones you were looking at, but the green ones I was looking at listed something like a 5 minute charge and 24 hour glow.
