well I was thinking about getting my frame powercoated....and I was thinking about a glow-in-the-dark color? I think a red would look pretty sweet, riding around in the dark with no lights on...a glowing red would look pretty sweet

I looked into doing this a 1 or 2 ago and the only thing I was not impressed about was in the light it would look like a pastel.

I'm playing around with some photo-luminescent pigments that I have been getting decent results with. But just not completely satisfied with it yet.

Thanks for the replys you guys! I was just wonderin if there even was a glow-in-the-dark powercoat....If there was, I was thinkin about going with all black plastics, and a glow in the dark red frame/subframe

Anymore ideas on what else would look good? Thanks

the neon colors DO NOT hold up well to atv use. they (as stated) tend to get chalky when exposed to uv light even when cleared

I don't care too much for the "neon" colors. I've been using a glow in the dark pigment that I add to the clear, than apply over a white base. Looks white during the day, but glows Aqua at night just like the plastic stars my kids stick on there ceiling.
