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.

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
