I’m sure this has GOT to be safer than Radium Paint, it’s the Litroenergy glowpaint from MPK Co. Here’s a blurb on it:
Lightroenergy is an amazing new source of illumination which can produce a bright glow for up to a dozen years without any electricity or exposure to sunlight Litrospheres are tiny self-luminous (read RADIOACTIVE) particles which can be injection molded or embedded into paints. Brightness is said to be about the same as that of a 20-watt light bulb, but I’d imagine that would depend on how much surface area is covered with the particles. The material is extremely cost-effective, covering an 8.5 x 11 surface for about 35 cents. The particles can even be customized to give off just about any light color.
Alright? Now, who’s gonna be the first to do a top to bottom glow-in-the-dark paint job on their scooter?

That’s about $0.54/ sq. ft.
Seems inexpensive to me.
It would really allow cagers to see us at night.
I’d do it in a heartbeat if the application $ weren’t too much.

No thanks. I don’t want a radioactive helmet.

It’s cheaper and easier then rigging ground lights on your scoot. I would do the underbelly and go pimpin’

Looked at painting my blue Burgman 400 with a topcoat of blue months ago just for the increased visibility at night. Price was too high for me and most local paint shops advised against it due to the difficulty of getting it distribute evenly.
