I second this idea. That would be very badass.

Unfortunately, the glow paint I got dries clear, and doesn't glow unless it's on there really thick. Like, puffy paint thick.  Going to rethink the interior color. Maybe I'll use a metallic model paint. Silver with red buttons or something.

This might be a dumb question, but is there any worry about the paint inside being flammable?

I thought maybe I could do a design in white paint, and then coat the rest with the white/red glow paint. Hopefully, you would only see the design when the other coat glows.

Then Bedazzle the bejeesus out of it.

I say just go do it! Worst comes to worst you can wash it off. I used acryllic because even though it scratches off, it doesn't matter because it's on the inside. in the end it looked really cool ^^
