In a post I wrote 2 years ago, I explained about the various types of luminous paint (see post). While phosphorescent paint or paint that glows in the dark has grown in both supply and demand, fluorescent paint still maintains a considerable lead. Several reasons for this, but cost is the main reason. Fluorescent paint usually cost one-fifth or less compared to phosphorescent paint. Furthermore, while the latter comes in 1 or 2 colours, fluorescent paint comes in 7 colours.

 

A popular product in the market is the Boatman range, available in both 5-litre and 1-litre pack sizes. A solvent-based modified acrylic, the Boatman fluorescent paint should be painted over a white primer, either epoxy or alkyd. Drying time varies with ambient temperature but one can expect it to be touch-dry in 2-3 hours. Theoretical coverage is 10 sq m per litre. The colours available are shown above.

The product technical datasheet is below for reference.
