Spray-on Life Paint gives bicyclists a special glow

When you’re flying down the road on a bicycle at night, visibility could mean the difference between life and death at the hands of an automobile driver.

Volvo has designed what it’s calling Life Paint as a way for cyclists to protect themselves on the road, but the spray’s other use cases are potentially just as interesting.

The spray comes in a can that is OK to apply on just about anything. It’s invisible in the daylight, but at night the binding of its particles causes an unmistakable glow under headlights.

Bicyclists obviously benefit from Life Paint, but how else it’s used will be determined as people get their hands on it. Raves, for instance, could never be the same.

Life Paint is available for sale in a few London stores, and you can sign up for updates on Volo’s website to know when you can buy it elsewhere.
