Glow in the dark powder?

Has anyone tried using glow in the dark powder (you can buy it on amazon for $9 for a 1/4 ounce or $244 a pound) on any slot car painting projects? I was wondering if I could mix this powder with a clear coat (using an airbrush) to make a glow in the dark slot car. Lots of other ideas. Just curious of the amount of this stuff you need to use. It's expensive. But interesting!

Good enough reasons. I was trying to remember a series or racing condition that would make it useful. I do miss things occasionally, ya know... I know that's a shock.

Sorry for jacking your thread with humor,I have not tried any glow paints. I can barely paint my cars with a rattle can,and my airbrush hates me. If Crayola made spray paint, my cars would look great (maybe) It would seem to be a cool effect tho if that's what you want.
we always try to express, not suppress individuality around here.
Maybe some of the good painters on this board will chime in with an answer for you.

No worries. I enjoy the humor. I was just curious. I too have a hard enough time with an airbrush so this might just be salt on the wounds trying to apply it. And thanks for the tip about glow in the dark paint...I like cheap so I would probably mess with that first.
