Something I've been wanting to try and do are some Tungsten ice fishing jigs. Glow colors seem to be all the rage these days. Gent on another forum asked if anyone had some jigs in a certain weight/size, painted Glow White. I told him I was planning on ordering the paint, and would be in contact.
Paint arrived yesterday. I painted up one, as a test.

And here it is glowing. Sorry about the focus.
My thoughts are: 1) It might not show in the pic, but the paint looks like it's swirled with something grey? Or is that the lead showing through? I gave it three coats before curing. I'll have to do another one with a base coat of White, then a few coats of Glow White over that. 2) I'm wondering if I mixed in some 200% Clear, would that help with the glow effect? I'm wondering, if the mix of clear will allow light to penetrate deeper into the paint, and let the lower layers glow shine through, adding to the top layer?
I'll probably have to mix up a little and give that one a try as well.
