i prefer epoxy over paint because they don't get scratched or chipped like paint does. and the glow works much better than paint glow does by far and holds it's charge much longer than painted versions.
yes they hold their charge longer and seem brighter. the color(s) used makes a difference too, besides what you charge them with.probably because it must be a thicker paint.after you pick some up and use them you'll see a difference. try to find blue glo.
