These bicycles were painted with "glow in the dark" paint. We had a race a long time ago with slot car bodies painted in neon. We held a night race with most of the lights out. It was plenty of fun.
Makes me want to paint some "glow in the dark" bodies.
Very cool video!

Bob:
Really not new technology. In the late 80's I painted my Mitusbishi Starion turbo with Moonglow glow in the dark paint. Easiest car I've ever traded in. Told the dealer it glowed in the dark. They didn't believe me so we took it into the shop area and turned off the lights. The used car manager then said "how much did you want for trade in again?" They had it on one of those ramps out by the street for a week or two before it sold.
Anyway, to answer your question. I believe Moonglow doesn't exist anymore. House of Color used a similar technology for their glow in the dark paint. Bacially when I used it, it was a powder that one mixed with the clear and applied over white. Not sure anymore?

OMG, $16/oz for the green and $17/oz for the blue! That is some seriously expensive paint!
But this takes the cake... Almost $100 per ounce!

Turbos are "cooled" and are fine. Problem was the multitude of "computer appendages" and the two stage progressive TBFI.
But I do agree a 340LA in the StarQuest is a better motor package.
