I have some glow paint ink and pigments and am trying to increase the brightness to use on various models such as the underwater alien craft and creatures in James Cameron's The Abyss movie. I don't want to use fibre optics or anything requiring power, I just want to find a way to use the glow paints/powders available. It's also cool to see that there're many colours available, with green being the brightness. Unfortunately though, even the green isn't bright enough, so I'm thinking there must be a way to increase this by using a reflective background that the paint is on?? I'm not even sure how these pigments really work anyway, I'm looking into how they're made and capture the energy of the sun. If I start with the green paints that I have and improve on those, then I will try it on the other colours. Any info on this would be a great help.
