| Glow in the dark paints will "charge up" under normal visible light or UV blacklight and then when plunged into darkness will glow for up to eight hours. Utilising the very latest material technology has enabled the production of our 'Premier Glow' range. This is a glowshop.com quality assurance mark which guarantees the best brightness and length of afterglow. Colours: blue, yellow, red, green and orange available soon. |

Thinking about it, this is probably a better choice. I've used their "glow powder" before and can vouch for the 8 hour glow time…
| Our glow paints/luminous paints are the perfect combination of liquid resin, glow pigment, diluting agent and dispersing agent: This is NOT your regular glow paint you find at your local craft store. Our glow in the dark paint has proven durability and extreme glow times that are guaranteed to offer years of glowing enjoyment! |
  
In case it's not apparent from the pics the green is similar to the tank programs' circuitry, the aqua looks like Flynn and Ram's circuitry when they're in the recognizer and the blue is like the normal blue circuitry.

To compute or not to compute that is the question at hand. Tis nobler to compile in C++ or in TASM.

For the fabric parts of the costume you could use the glow powder with a silicone-based paint as described here
Here are the photographs of a prototype arm I have prepared for your viewing. This is a life casting from my arm that represents what the entire suit will look like. The suit that I am creating is constructed of a lycra spandex material. The glo powder is mixed within a silicone / xylene based paint that will cover the stretch suit. As mentioned earlier, the application from the prototype arm, using a clear coat polyurethane, will be much different from the soft application of the silicone on the lycra suit.
Through using the material I have learned the various time and saturation levels for light, along with the specific need for application on the lycra/spandex (wile retaining a vibrant glow.) The red on the arm that forms the veins is a mixture of red and orange. I found that once the red has dissipated the orange still glows well, and that it conforms a little to the red as well.
The bone work was a mixture of orange, green, and violet wile the arteries were mixed with violet and blue. I would like to add some of your yellow and yellow pink to the background of the suit so that it may have a warmer appearance and color diversity. The Aqua was used with green to create the pressure points and lines. I would like to mix some of the white powder in with that as well. |

I used to have some of the luminous paint. It was pretty cool stuff. Came from Edmund Scientific. The only problem I had with it was that it got rather brittle with time. On flexible surfaces this could lead to cracking and peeling. The xylene mixture idea sounds like a good idea. Perhaps that will allow for better durability.
