I'm down a rabbit hole now guys haha, but thanks for the help. BobP I'm really happy with the glow powder I bought, it shines brighter 45 mins in a dark closet. It's really coarse and you're right it's the way to go. I just need to apply it smoothly now. Kasilo, I'm looking at getting a Badger to apply the powder paint. I'll keep you posted on the results. My buddy got a tank of a chinook today on one I made so I'm getting there. I messed up putting the scale tape on and it looked terrible but turns out the fish don't care. I think he bit it because of the glow! I wish I could ask.
