These are the best photos I could get  with my digital camera. The photos taken in the dark are in pitch black and in person its twice as bright as the photos show. It will glow up to 8 hours depending on how bright the sun was on it. Its a white base with 3 coats of yellow with 4 coats of clear with glow in it and 4 more coats of just clear, the glow in the clear gives it a pastel look but is still shiny. You can actually read in the dark next to the bike its actually really bright but my camera just wont get a clear picture. I now have to wait a month before putting some fresh decals on it . I told the painter I wanted something differant and just shy of obnoxious and I think he did it just right.
The folks who make the glow product have better pictures on their website I will include a link to that to show how bright it actually is.

You now need to have the helmet painted to match.

How long do you think that paint will be good for?  I've seen many show rice-rockets painted similarly, and most needed new paint within a few years.

Thanks for the positive feedback! They say it will last around 10 years but I wanted the bike to get some fresh yellow paint anyway. It had allot of scratches and scuffs from riding it to work the glow idea was just a bonus . So if the glow fades that's fine at least it will have new paint on it and my guess is if I still have the bike in 10 years it will need another paint job. There are a few differant companies that offer glow paints and glow additives that you would add to the clear which is what we put on, I would assume they all have differant life spans. Here's another company that offers something similar they took some really good pictures of how it actually looks.
