Prompted from a thread in the Astronomy board but I don't want to hijack it.

I once tried to paint a night sky on my bedroom ceiling as a kid. I put Polaris right in the middle of the ceiling and had the big and little dippers painted as well. However, the glow-in-the-dark paint I was using was glow-in-the-dark-green and I didn't much like it. It was also visible during the day if you looked for it so I never finished the project.

Does anyone know if glow-in-the-dark paint comes in white? My wife has given me permission to do a ceiling if it's white/silver and not visible during the day.

Other than paint, is there a cheap alternative. Maybe, $100 or so?

A quick google search found this article

Unfortunately, while there is white glow-in-the-dark paint, it apparently doesn't glow for very long (10 minutes, according to the article).

I found this and this with a quick Froggle search

Cool! Thanks guys. However, with the speed at which you found this stuff I feel a little silly forgetting that Google / Froogle is my friend. My meager defense is that I did try a Google search...about ten years ago.
