Not sure if you can get this where you are, but I've personally used some of these glow powders, and they get very bright: https://unitednuclear.com/glowinthedark-items-c-101_45/
I've had Aqua and Green, and they look gorgeous.
Thanks, I'm in the UK, and US-UK shipping is horrendous, but I may give them a try.
Right now I'm try to find a longer persistence photochromic for the daylight version.
Have you come across Stuart Semple/ Culture Hustle?
He makes a lot of interesting paints and pigments, and is UK based.

I've bought a couple of versions of his blackest black paint, and one of his whitest white, and they've all be extraordinarily good.
I have some of his "LIT - THE WORLD'S GLOWIEST GLOW PIGMENT", but I haven't used it yet. I have no doubt it'll be great as well.
(I have a vague plan to paint a motorcycle in Black4.0 to see if it's unreflective enough to evade the IR laser speed detectors cops use here...)
That's a great idea. I'd love to see if it works.
I've wondered whether it would be possible to design a motorcycle with a surface that's non-reflective to radar because of it's shape or texture, like how stealth planes work.
EDIT: I realized the super black paint is probably the worst thing you could do for your own safety on a motorcycle, but that's besides the point...
