What can I mix glow in the dark paint with so that I can spray it from a paint gun?

I want to paint my bike glow in the dark. There are not any good quality spray cans available that I know of, so I have decided that I am going to get some of the powder and spray it on with air paint gun.

The question is, what can I mix it with? I have an enamel clear coat but it has to be thinned with lacquer thinner and the instructions on the powder say that acids will destroy the glow.

Here are the instructions.

Earth Aluminate pigments are soluble in water and decompose in acid. This means that they will loose a little brightness when mixed into water-based mediums.

Acids will completely destroy their glow...

Can even can me mixed into molten glass or plastic.

They can be used in water-based mediums such as paint and concrete, but they will continue to loose a small amount of brightness over time until the water fully evaporates.

That's the end of them.

So what can I mix it with that won't screw it up and that I can spray from a gun? Will the enamel clear work?

    I would try the clear coat.You always have the option of contacting the manufacturing company and ask for advice.

    Think the alfoil hat's toooo tight here. Either that or you're the receiving end of a prank of some kind. I doubt any "Medieval Occultists" had Glow in the Dark spray Paint for their rules. & Neither would any of the modern contemporaries. .
