Bummer
My painter says that my mystery color can't be made. So I have to rethink.

What I was looking for was a glow in the dark highlight neon yellow. I painted it on a Camaro in the 90s, it was copied off a bicycle that was highlight yellow, like I think some firetrucks are in the US? What you do is that you paint the car white, and then apply a few layers of very yellow, but also see-through, paint, that gives the effect. My Camaro in sunshine was something else, often it was pictured in magazines when at car shows, just because of the paint. And the pictures didn't do it justice, a photograph could not capture the effect on the human eye. The effect was such that when it was parked on the street beneath my 1st floor apartment, the ceiling in my apartment would be slightly yellow. And on a sunny morning with dew on the hood, you almost couldn't see anything.

But…that was back in the days before water borne paint. I'm told this see-through yellow can't be made water borne, and the cars you see today with something neon yellow, that's film attached to it. So "back to square one"
