It is ALL chemistry!
Just as Kryptonite and Superman's x-ray vision is
"BLOCKED" by Lead.
So it is wih UV rays!
The Lead put in paint,WAS NOT for coverage.
Although coverage was a side effect.
The REASON Flourecent paint(seems)brighter,is because... the molecules are farther apart,letting
light bounce off MORE of the pigment.
Which ALSO lets this type of paint FADE faster.
When Lead is added to paint,it "FILLS" the spaces
between the molecules for the LONGEVITY factor in protecting the pigments from UV rays!
It ain't Rocket Science..But it sure is Chemistry
As Joey Madden and others will tell you!

Hope this helps

Hey... I am a rocketsigntist... [Razz]

I checked this post cuz I thought you might be able to answer my question...

If you have xray vision, does that mean you can still see with your eyes shut?

Sorry Pat...but you got some wrong information on Flouro paints!

They are not pigments...they are dyes and fillers! They are so bright because UV rays break them down, thus giving off bright colors....that is also why they fade so fast!
