Flourescent Paint
Can anyone tell me where I can buy some flourescent paint which is suitable for application to metals but that you can brush on ideally. It must leave
a high gloss finish!! Must be a reasonable price too.....not asking much am I

Screwfix linky
Though it's a rattle can rather than brush.
This might be closer to what you need (the light green stuff that glows in the dark)

How much you need? Try a model shop or B&Q they have little pots.
But to get a gloss it will be 3 stage
1) GOOD SOLID White Undercoat
2) Fluorescent Paint
3) Laquer to Protect.
If you don;t put the white under the Fluorescent Paint the look CRAP.
Scot's do it better in Kilts.

Depending on your application you could also consider vinyls (dayglo type stuff).

Did you use a bright white primer? They all look crap just sprayed on as they are slightly transparent.
Though I've not tried the paint myself
