This came up awhile back, and I liked this quote from CityLab
<http://www.citylab.com/design/2015/03/volvo-wants-to-make-bike-commuting-safer-by-selling-you-glow-in-the-dark-paint/389204/>
:
"I can see a few other potential drawbacks to the paint. For one, I’m not
sure how practical it is to expect people to spray-paint their possessions
on a weekly basis to achieve basic safety. That could get tedious and
pretty pricy, not to mention the waste of all those paint cans. And if
LifePaint is water-soluble, it would be useless in rain, which is exactly
when visibility for drivers is worst."
