New "Illuminite"(tm) glow-in-the-dark neon blue paint

I saw this new "Illuminite" (tm) paint by Duplicolor mentioned in Popular Mechanics and thought I'd pass it along in case anyone is interested. I believe the only color they have is blue and I'm not sure where you would use it on the car but someone might like to try it. The link to their site is Illuminite link if you want to look. They claim it lights for as long as 8 hours after a daylight charging.

The third little picture on the linked page shows a fender with a light blue stripe so I would guess the paint is actually blue (they say "Best if used over white"). I didn't see any more info thru the other links so you would have to write the company to find out more, I guess. I thought of brake calipers too, but I doubt they have any that would handle the heat, and I even if they did I doubt it would get a good charge not being out in direct sunlight. My car is red so I can't see using it anyway. I just thought someone here might like to know about it.

Is this the same stuff that gains energy from sun light exposure to glow at night?
I think they have a limit of like 6 - 9 hours ish depending on the color
