I don't know, I think it looks kind of tacky, myself. I dislike painted stone; the natural color looks so much nicer, IMO. The best way it might work is at the end of a driveway in an area where there are no street lights.
I read once where they're going to start using glow paint for highway markings.
Glow in the dark or reflective? Glow in the dark would seem kind of pointless since most of it stops glowing after a few hours.
I agree that I like the look of natural rock so probably wouldn't like this. Although if it were something that would wash off in the rain it could be a fun thing to do for an evening party, glowing paths and twinkle lights in the trees.
In the picture it looks almost clear which I guess would be impossible but what do I know. I would not like to compromise the look of natural stone but if it could be incorporated into a sealer or something like that it would be fine.
I like it! Rust Oleum is coming out with some really interesting products lately. I love their hammered-metal finish spray paints. I reclaimed a very ugly rusted green propane tank cover with a hammered bronze finish, and it's really beautiful now. I can see a number of uses for this.
This is not glow in the dark paint or any paint at all

Painting with Light
David Tejada: This is in my backyard. I thought, "I think I'd like to try some light painting. It seems like a fun thing to do."
This was shot with the D70 and I have a 20 mm lens on it. It's a vertical shot obviously. I'm kind of pointing down with it, looking down on the stepping stones, walking through my backyard out to this field in the backyard. The sun had set, maybe 30 minutes prior to taking this, so it was quite dark out.
I stopped down my lens to about F22 or as far as it would go. Then I opened the shutter. I placed it on bulb so I opened the shutter and walked out into the scene with a one million powered candle flashlight and I lit every one of those stones as I walked along the left-hand edge of the path. I would just go boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom hitting every one of those stepping stones.
Then when I got up to the fence, I'm continually moving. I would pass my light off to the left-hand side along the boards, went on the right, did a little circle around each of the flowerpots and then painted the door of the gate as I was going out to the field, turned off the flashlight, walked back to the camera, and closed the shutter.
I love it. At first, I thought it was going to be that neon pink and yellow paint...you know, all Cyndi Lauper ghetto! I actually would do that in my backyard patio. Thanks for posting this!
