When there is no light, the paint will eventually fade until it is exposure to light again. Coo Var Luminous Paint consists of a foundation undercoat, a luminous colour and a protective sealer. You can apply this product to metal, wood, plaster and fibreglass. It is also suitable for both interior and exterior use.
