The ability to glow under the influence of ultraviolet is not only in pigments and some living organisms. For example, even vitamins glow. I especially want to highlight vitamin B12 - it gives out a bright yellow color under ultraviolet light.

How best to apply: spray, brush or spray?

Before applying the coating, the first thing to do is to take care of the surface to be coated. It must be smooth, clean and free from previous paintwork that is peeling off.
