luminous paint ?

[blacksaltire]

Anybody know where i can get a small quantity of "RED" luminous paint ?

[simon84]

B+Q, Hobbiecraft......anywhere like that.

[blacksaltire]

Cheers ! tbh i didn't think red luminous paint existed ! thought it only came in green !

[simon84]

No worries, I worked for Brewers for a few years and had to order in all manner of strange paints.

I've got 10 litres on day glo orange in the shed, same colour as the dynarod vans.......not sure where I'm going to use that.

[Bizibilder]

Fishing tackle shops sell small quantities as "float paint" - red, orange and yellow.

I thought about giving that 300P a lick of paint but then thought that I might want to sell it one day.........although saying that this orange would go better with your red focuser......

You'd never walk into it.....

So whats the red paint for? Feet of your tripod? Got me curious now.

[blacksaltire]

various things really ! one thing in particular though, I find the RA +DEC scale difficult to read so I'm thinking to go loonymouse with them !

Is it me or is there some confusion in this thread re the difference between luminous and fluorescent paint?

[skybadger]

Hold on - do you mean luminous as in very bright or flourescent as in self-glowing. ?

I'd want self-glowing for the dials if I'm going to take the trouble to paint them .

fluourescent is much harder to get hold of.

I'd like some myself...

If you want self glowing paint, I used to sell some at Brewers, I think it was by a company called Coo Var. Not sure if they still do it was a 2 part product. Limited colour range and only in 200ml tins.

Luminous paint = self-glowing (glow in the dark or phosphorescent paint)

Flourescent = very bright (flourescent paints react to ultra-violet light)

Radioluminescent paint = radio active isotopes

badger , sorry but i think you've got luminous and fluorescent mixed up

luminous is when it will 'glow' in complete dark

flourescent i believe is just a material with very high UV reflective properties so under daylight it will seem very bright.

you can also get luminous vinyl sticker. in most colours too red blue green etc

as i remember though luminous paint , need to be 'charged' by light to work and doesnt glow indefinately, only radium paint did this

im pulling a lot of this out of the memeory so please feel free to correct me people if im wrong.
