Volvo Life Paint for cyclists is highly reflective coating that can be applied to any surface.
Car maker Volvo this week distributed 2,000 cans among London bike shops to gauge reaction from cyclists. They were gone within days.
According to Volvo: LifePaint is a unique reflective safety spray. Invisible by daylight, it glows brightly in the glare of car headlights. Making the invisible, visible. LifePaint washes off, and will not affect the colour or surface of your chosen material, lasting for approximately one week after application. Though designed for cycling, LifePaint can be used in all sorts of ways. Applied to clothes, shoes, and helmets, pushchairs and children’s backpacks – even dog leads and collars.
Buy Volvo Life Paint
You can’t buy Volvo LifePaint at the moment, but we have a can of it to give away. Just leave a comment at the bottom of this page letting us know what you’d spray and we will pick a name in two weeks.
Cyclists are not ‘invisible’
Volvo has an admirable reputation for safety in car design. The company pioneered the three-point seat belt and it’s vision is that ‘no one is killed or injured in a Volvo in the year 2020. But there’s the rub. The threat from cars today is to those unprotected by seat belts, crumple zone and air bags. Innovation such as LifePaint is welcome, but cyclists and pedestrians are not invisible as described by Volvo. Even at night. Drivers have a responsibility to look out for vulnerable road users – whether or not they are glow-in-the-dark or festooned in lights.
The simple rule that should see road users who kill held to account can be lost amid safety messages aimed at vulnerable road users. For most of the first half of the twentieth century, campaigners lobbied against mandatory rear lights for bicycles. To make an argument against a safety measure is bound to be viewed as controversial, foolish even, and it is hard to imagine why a groups concerned solely with the welfare of cyclists made it for decades in the face of almost certain defeat. The intention of the law was to improve safety, but the concern was that it would result not in a road network on which cyclists were more visible because they had lights, but one on which cyclists without lights were regarded as invisible. The argument made by campaigners was subtle and counter intuitive, but that a century later resonates in pressure to make cycle helmets mandatory and even the promotion of high-visibility and reflective clothing.

how superb! As a car driver too I really appreciate anything that gives me more time to react to the presence of cyclists. The more time I have, they’re comfortable I can make life for all of us.
JonPaul Crandall
This is amazing. I ride at night and i would spray my entire bike. I can’t wait for this to be available for purchase.
luka rocyn
i think this whole concept is perfect. and i can not wait untill it’s available for wholesale. on april the 20th i am attempting LEJOG in 6 days. i would spray absolutely everything!
Paul Webb
I commute daily and would definitely use this, it could quite literally be a life saver, especially in the winter months
John S
Hope this isn’t an April Fool – I would spray the whole of my bike. Might spray some spots on the dog too
J Rayner
This is a great idea. I have to walk with the aid of crutches and if I had this paint, I’d use it to make them more visible at night.
Catherine Biela
While my husband does ride a bike, I’m more concerned with him running. And I worry. I don’t feel that the small bits of reflective on his clothing does the job. We living in a hilly area with somewhat winding roads.
Anthony
Paint your husband with the stuff and watch the reports of ghost sightings go up!
Emily Heath
I ride a Vespa ET2 and even with headlights/ being faster on the road and able to stay in the middle of a lane It would be great to be seen even more as moped drivers face the same concerns as bikers. So I would spray my Vespa and jacket to ensure better visibility.
Manuel Bello-Cano
I would spray it on my helmet, panniers and and my bike. I think is a great product and would love to get it!
Raf Q.
Fantastic idea! I’d probably touch up the reflective detailing on my bike bag and maybe add some stencilled graphics to my (motor) scooter. Might be useful for helping my identify my tent in the dar at festivals too…
I guess the possibilities are endless!
Alberto
Ingenious! I would spray my daughter’s pram to keep us safe when we go running or cycling
Harrison Stubbs
This is an incredible invention, great to see car companies working together with cyclists. I commute daily through Southampton City centre and have had my fair share of knocks. Hopefully this paint would change that!
Carol Weaver
I hope that Volvo are going to have this available very soon! I’d spray
My wheels and definitely my jacket as all too often have had cars passing too closely not leaving any wiggle-room
Nigel K
I’d spray some on my wifes Guidedog harness for walking at night to help keep her, our Guidedog & lil one safe. Brilliant idea.
Jon Fray
I strongly believe that the majority of collisions happen because drivers are being inattentive or are driving too fast for the conditions. Painting myself will not make a driver slow down or be more attentive. Volvo had better come up with other ways of slowing vehicles down and preventing drivers from talking on their phones, drink driving, drug driving & etc etc. http://tinyurl.com/TragedyKT
Paul Wu
What a fantastic idea – I’m going to make some funky stencils for it and get spraying as soon as I can get my hands on a can – might even spray my kids with it for our nighttime walks….
Dave Mann
Great idea! I would certainly spray anything that is visible from the side on my bike and probably front and back too. I’d spray the side of my kit too with maybe a big smiley on my back!
Doug Milsom
As a cyclist as well as motorist and pedestrian, I still believe that I have to protect my own safety, but this product could certainly help.
Joel Halligan
I’d spray my cat. His road sense is a-paw-ling.
Phil
I’m sure my bike would look excellent…
anne montgomery
My dad is 77,turns 78 this year,HE HAS TO CYCLE EVERY DAY no matter what the weather,or light conditions(sanity and all that),quite a number of miles.he has been knocked off his bicycle ,been blown off it too(he’s a very ,very skinny shy guy)and this paint would certainly give my mum(76,turning 77)some peace of mind when he goes out in the dark.She would never try to stop him,as cycling has always been in his blood,but she does worry.To bring her(and the rest of the family)some reassurance that at least HE IS GOING TO BE EXTREMELY VISIBLE TO MOTORISTS WOULD BE SO,SO BRILLIANT.I have been looking to buy this but obviously cannot yet,and dad is getting older,and his hearing worse, so I really hope you can send my dad a can of this wonderful,lifesaving spray.(He was a medical doctor all his life,and has saved many other people,it would be good to potentially do the same for him.he is very much an old fashioned type of person,and does not do computers at all,so a lot of new information is not at his fingertips)Nothing fancy,just a straight forwards lifesaving can of spray paint,but what a difference it could make.
Marcus Jones
Excellent idea – great to see this action being taken by an automotive brand – I would spray my cycling helmet and protective goggles, as well as my waterproof backpack.
Steve Morgan
I would paint my fast-spinning shoes… And my rucksack, with a big smiley face.
Jason Sheppard
i would spray everything that I own
Phil
I would paint loof lirpa so drivers would get the message in their mirror
Francis Voon
I’d spray my helmet and clothes as my bike is lit like a Christmas tree!
Xi
I’d spray my cycling shoes, since no pedals come with reflectors nowadays. If there’s anything left in the can, I’ll coat the neighbourhood squirrels and cats 😀
Jose Duarte Antonio
I ride a Segway. I’d use it to make it more visible at night. Life Paint will be a life saver and is a great product and will definitely buy it when it is readily available.
Connie
I would spray all of my cycling gear and my dogs leads and collars. This looks amazing!
Roberto Javier
This will help me out so much! I ride my bike 6 days a week and I switch bags constantly forgetting my lights in different bags or sometimes misplacing them… When night time comes i have to ride in the pavement and a really slow pace so i dont get stop by police… Please let me have a try! 😀

Ill spray my motorbike, bycicle, helmet, bag and dog chain! 😀
Duncan
Living in country australia, I would spray paint both my bike and back and if there was anything left over; all the pesky kangaroos that seem to be jumping around trying to knock us of our velos.
Phill
Great concept and then to also make it! Good work Volvo.
I’d spray my mountain bike so when I go on night rides any photos that are taken will have the white blur that is me going to fast to NOT be seen.
Jeph Norman Fox
this is magic! living in brooklyn, i bike in to manhattan every day to walk dogs. i would spray this on my bike, on my urban pups dog leashes for the night time walks, my helmut, my back pack, and my beard!! gah! would love a free can and would tell everyone i know. or contact me when it’s on the market pleeeease!
Jesse Shadiow
I think this paint is a must have for all bicyclists! I live in Portland, Or and there is a large number of people who ride bikes all day everyday for there normal transportation needs this town is very bicycle friendly! About 8&1/2 months ago I was traveling home on a very busy main street in Portland during rush hour traffic I was hit buy a man driving a full sized SUV! He hit me so hard that I flew 15ft off my bike and landed on the sidewalk in a bus stop! Dislocated my shoulder broke a couple of fingers and had two very large hematopoietic pools one on my elbow and one on my head! If he would have been driving slower when he hit me then he would have ran me over completely! I haven’t felt comfortable enough since then to ride my bike after dark for fear of someone killing me! I would buy and use this paint to cover my bike and some of my riding gear when it goes on the market I need like 4 cans to paint everything!!
Nigel Clark
I will be spraying my lads bike for his (back into darkness this hour forward week) paper round, come to think of it, I’d probably spray him. And with what’s left over I’d spray my car keys, so I can find them with my torch…
Dawn
Wow looks amazing
Darren C
What a bright idea!
(Just don’t mix up the water washable can with the more permanent oil based spray).
Gerrit
I’d just paint my whole bike with it including saddle and the wheels. If theres paint left I will go on with my helmet, security west, and my cycling bag.
And then a pair of my shoes. To be honest, I would propably start painting a pair of sneakers…
Guenther S
Great idea! For bicycles, but for dogs, too 😉
Tara Button
I would spray my bike, helmet, jacket anything I could spray!
LisaM
I’ve been dreaming about something like this since I started commuting 4 years ago…I’d spray my gloves as it would be a massive help when indicating in the dark, and my wheels as they’d look pretty cool.
TheCyclist
I would spray my entire bicycle frame, wheel (including both rims & spokes), handle bars, cranks, shoes, helmet, arms & legs. I am an ultra long distance cyclist and need all vehicle drivers to see me at all times. I would spray the words ‘CYCLIST’ on the back of my shirt (in case they don’t register what the shape is 🙂 ) and ‘BACK OFF’ on my pannier bags to get the message over.
anastasia
how can i buy it??
Bart
Great invention. Sadly, in germany we cannot buy it. 🙁
In the summertime, I would spray it over my whole body 🙂
THAT will be seen, by every driver – bet on this.
Regards, Bart
Millie
Hi,
My dad cycles 20 miles a day 6 days a week to work and back, he often cycles in the dark along country roads. I would make sure he sprays his whole bike along with his clothes shoes and back pack! I could even get him to spray his face and send a photo! This will ensure he’s safe along Devon country roads!!
Millie
Lazarus
I would DEFINITELY spray my whole bicycle like in the video, and use it in addition to my red flashing LED tail lights and my 1000 lumen CREE LED headlamps. I live in the US, and the drivers here feel they own the road and don’t pay attention while they drive either.
I was actually rear-ended by a taxi last year who was partially on the sidewalk with his left fender wedged under my steel saddle-baskets – I suspect he was completing his logbook while driving and didn’t see my flashing LEDs until the very last minute. Fortunately, when his right tires went onto the sidewalk, his fender went UNDER my baskets, so I wasn’t injured (he took off and left the scene; wonder what story he told the cab company for the messed up left fender…).
In the winter, I could also spray images on the back of my jacket that they would be SURE to see. Too bad I can’t paint the bike to make it look like a huge truck :p .
Ian
I would spray my bicycle frame, wheels and helmet. Can’t wait till it becomes available to buy in the UK.
Peter Chisnall
I’d spray every bike in my household
Stuart Priest
This is a great idea – would be fab to get a permanent version as well!
mark cosma
I ride to and from work and it’s often dark. Life Paint could/would be a life . saver. I would oive a can of it. Great job…keep it up..
mark d
I would spray my 3 bikes, I like living at night.
Alastair Seagroatt
Shame it only lasts a few days.
warren
I’d spray the London Gherkin. Job done.
Darlene Breedlove
OMG! I would sooo love this. I have had one bike accident and I was lucky that I had a helmet on. Could have been really bad. My husband and I ride our bikes quite often in the evening. We try to have as much visibility as possible, but this would be priceless. Can’t wait until it is for sale in the U.S….. Great idea Volvo!
Dylan Besser
I would spray my bike and both of my roommates’ bikes!
Bez
If I won, I’d find whoever invented it and ensure they ended up with reflective bowel lining.
james sheppard
Worth a try!
Lana
As a Police Detective in Aurora Colorado, USA, and having been a Police Mountain Bicycle Patrol Officer, this product sounds fantastic! I would use it on the bicycle and possibly parts of the motorcycle to aid in visibility there as well. Thanks for creating this wonderful product concept. I look forward to seeing it on US shelves!
Michael Stephens
i would live to have this as I only ride during the dark hours of the day
Harvey French
I need a can to use on my beard…
Gabe
Sounds great! I bet it works well in the crowded cities… Want it! 🙂
kathryn
fabulous! i would paint my entire bike, clothing, helmet, and skin!!!
Lance Harris
I live in Southern California and would love to have this product as no matter how much I illuminate myself with lights, Life keeps getting in the way of the drivers that I have to compete with on the roads. This product is truly amazing and I want to spray it over everything I have since I ride regularly in the mornings and evenings and now my wife has caught the bug as well.
Pat Colvin
this is an amazing product and a great safety feature for us cyclists. I am involved in a ride for cancer called the 2015 Ride to Conquer Cancer which host around 2000 cyclists who ride a 250k ride over two days from Vancouver British Columbia Canada to Seattle Washington and back. Much of this ride will be along major freeways with lots of exposure to motor traffic speeding by so to have this paint sprayed on the bike adds tot eh safety of the ride at night, i would spay the bike, helmet and vest to be so visible. I know this will be such a big item and all the riders will be wanting it once it is available for sale.
Thank you
Walt Thompson
where in the USA may I buy this??
May I order from you?
Thank you.
Walt
Ian Harris
Our daughter lives and works in London and cycles to & from work every day in all weathers, I would give the can to her to try and keep her safe.
Phil Lockhart
Look like a great product – I commute in the dark on rural roads. I like to see what it’s like in a rural environment, however, all the samples go straight to the city. Be nice to have a go…
Lynn Ditzell
I would like to use this paint for my stone walkway in the back of my home and plant pots for even reflection.
Janet D
What a great idea. I need to buy this for my son. Please let me know how and where I could purchase this product.
derek smith
hello ,i love my kids very much and would love to have this to give them a bit more protection while driving their bikes at night ,,, another great idea from volvo
t . Suffield
I would love to buy some . where can I get it from how long does it last and how much is a can. I cycle in London all year round and this would save the annual trip to A& E in an ambulance
Ester G
I will paint my weels and the pedals displaying two eyes with a rotating nose!
The City of Bikes Copenhagen would be great with all the bikes sprayed with Volvo Life Paint. I imaging central city iluminated with all the bikes.
Darren Robinson
after doing my bike and gear I would spray a nice big TARGET on the back of my wife’s coat to give car drivers something to aim for!
Sam Ayers
This sounds like a great idea to enhance safety on the roads.
Mark Dobson
Please tell me this is not an April Fools Joke!
kerri
I’d spray my eldest sons jacket. he’s 15 and our latest and later. I Would also spray my youngest jacket and bag. “just in case ” you never know….
Kate
I would love to get a can of this life paint so I can spray my kids clothes and bike to help keep them safer when riding home in the dark. I would use it on my clothes and bike too and my husbands! In fact I would spray paint the whole family!!
Jeni
This sounds fab. I would take a can to my running club and spray anyone without full reflective running gear to keep them safe
Chelsea Kuehnel
I would definatley spary my bike! This product is so useful, i wish somone thought of this sooner!
Chester palma gil
A very helpfull and safety measure in preventing accident among cylclist. This product can surely save lives , specially now a days people are being reckless sometime not thingking that others are also using the roads and sometimes riding a bike is hard to see at night.
Cynthia Shrum
My husband and I like too ride in the evening. We would use it on our riding clothes, shoes, and bikes. This would make me feel more relaxed when riding, a year ago I had a accident in my car and do not drive yet, this would make me feel a more safe knowing that we can be seen better by drivers.
Frank Holme
This is genial, I would like to spray my son’s bikes, I hate it when they are out at night
Manousos Malandrakis
My Car numbers on the front and the back to pass the photoradars at night.
Lauren Fisher
I ride a motorbike and while I have lights on the front and back, the side fairings have little to no reflective measures in place! I would paint those and my motorcycling boots.
I would LOVE to show the world how this works to keep more than just cyclists safe.
Colin
This might make even the “blind’ motorist that hit me open his eyes. Can I spray the kids and cat with it? (Only joking)
Heather
is this for real & not an April fool. As if it’s for real it’s amazing stuff.
Cathy
I would like to give this to my friend to spray on his bike. He likes to ride in the dark but often wears dark charcoal clothing. He also recently bought his bike for more than $4,000. Many times, when our group of friends hang out, he bikes. He’s a very cautious rider but almost every time, he’s so close to getting hit by buses or cars. Once, my friends and I saw him almost get hit by a bus right in front of us! My friends and are always worried about him when he rides, so I think this would be an awesome way to keep him safe while biking.
Plus, his birthday is coming up and I would like to buy Life Paint, but it isn’t on sale yet.
Andy Brown
I would spray my sons bike and helmet, as well as my own. Thus is only his second summer riding, and I do worry about him doing so at night. This stuff is great.
mco
great innovation for safety
Brian neale
Brilliant idea….but why only being trialed in the south ? We ride bikes up ere in Yorkshire too ya know ! The sooner this is mass marketed the better but nobody has put a price up for it yet.
I would feel much happier letting the kids out on bikes, although the paint will not stop the a** h***s driving around on country lanes too fast on the wrong side of the road. yes that means you Mr audi driver !
Cathy
Sounds a fantastic idea.
Jim Gordon
I commute in all weathers down main roads and I think this would be great for my bike, I love to win a can, or at least be able to buy one! Cheers!
Paul Russell
This is ground breaking.
I love this concept Volvo!
I would spray my bike that I use several times a day.
I would also spray my gloves and bag.
Genius spray!
julie
I would spray all my Grandchildren with it to keep them safe on their way to school etc and also my Son-in-law to keep him safe while he’s running or cycling along the road in training for the Marathon’s that he runs.
Tricia Parker
I would love life paint for my sons cycle so he is visible at night
Dawn Stilwell
I would spray my whole bike!…. and my helmet and shoes.. and bag….I commute all year round in all weathers so this would be brilliant
Billy Vorhaus
This is the most amazing product I have seen in many many years and the application that I would use it for is on my motorcycle and motorcycle helmet to become more visible in the heavily wooded and unlit roads where I live to feel more safe while out riding.
Silvana
I would love to use this as added protection
for my bike and helmet. I was hit by a car and incurred a brain injury a few years ago. I still ride and although I realize education and attention on both the cyclists and car divers is the most important issue, this can be quite helpful in preventing accidents.
Kathryn Patterson
Hi
I would love life paint as I’m quite fit and cycle often but feel that life paint on my bike would make me feel a lot safer. I cycle alone to the gym and back so this would be ideal. Please can I have a can
Sabrina Goh
AMAZING! I would spray this on my kids who are always running in front of me!
kt
Love this idea!! Where can we get some!?!?!
Colleen
I’d like the free can! I’d spray paint my bike which I use for commuting around Chicago. After being hit by a car once on my bike, I’d love to have this product for piece of mind.
Jerrry Schaffer
I would use it on my Wife’s Bike She is Participating in the 2 Day Ride to Conquer Cancer.August 29-30, 2015 a 275 Klm plus Ride From Vancouver BC to Seattle Washington…And I just took my Wife’s Bike in for a Tune up Tire Cables Etc.., which she has had on the Road for a Few Years . And for Safety Concerns I would Spray Her Bike Helmet and some Clothing …Depending on how far the Can would go… This is a Great Product Light and reflectors only go so far .
Hope I will be available in BC Canada sooner or later.
This would be a great way to make this product Know.
Jerry
Jerrry Schaffer
Sorry made a few errors in my post… (Should Read Bike Plus Helmet and Clothing)
And …(Hope It will be available in Canada Soon)
Tina
I would paint my sons bike. He is 13 and wanting more and more to be able to go out with his friends biking, but it gets dark early in our neck of the woods. This would allow him to have a bit more freedom, and give me some piece of mind, that he is being seen by drivers. This is one of the best inventions for bikers I’ve seen in a long time. Great job Volvo!
Larene Dierolf
The possibilities are endless! Motercycle gear, Coats for humans and dogs, bicycles, strollers, could all be more visable with this product. This is amazing! Thank you Volvo! Can we look forward to seeing this as an up grade paint color soon? 🙂
Gwyn jones
If this is not an April fools joke then I would spray my motorcycle it would look awesome at night!
Nigel Davies
Such an interesting idea. As a reasonably new scooter rider I’d certainly feel a lot safer knowing I could be seen clearly, especially as I live in an area with many poorly lit mountain roads.
Lisa George
My husband is 49 and still cycles over 20 miles each way to work and back. He does it in all weathers and has to ride along mainly unlit country roads here on Anglesey, North Wales. Many a time has he come home and said he has been run off the road due to vehicles trying to overtake on corners, or where the road is narrow. Sometimes when he’s late home after his 12 hour shift I start to imagine all kinds of things have happened to him. This looks fantastic stuff and I would spray everything bike related that he owns (if there was enough of it). Hopefully this will be available to buy in the near future.
Daniel
I ride with a large group at night, and this product is amazing. I’m excited to be able to purchase it soon, but if you could ship me a free can that’d be awesome! 😀
Deirdre Hannon
I would spray my husband and his bike from head to toe, as he commutes into Glasgow city centre day and night! I might even spray our very black dog from head to toe for when he goes with him! 😉
Cycleogical
I would spray everything! Cool that it washes out! I want to buy 500 cans to give away at Bike To Work Day May 14th 2015 here in Califonia. Please make this product available ASAP.
james viney
Just genius!
I would spray this on my and my families bikes, as well as certain items of clothing for when I’m cycling at night. Also I’d spray it on my tent for when I’m at a festival. That way I can see my tent when I’m heading back after a day of rocking out to music!
I hope this product takes off. I need this in my life!
Pat Vilsack
I would use it on all our family’s bikes, especially my husband and grandsons bikes. They are braver and more likely to get stuck riding in the dark. I especially like the idea of spraying helmets as that is the most logical line of sight for drivers to see. Please hurry up and sell it in the unites States (particularly in Pennsylvania.) Very overdue product!
Alan chambers
I’d use the paint to spray artwork on my bike that was only visible when light shone one it
Debbie
I hope this is real because my son cycles to school and in the winter it is getting dark when he has to come home after sports practice. I would spray everything including my son.
Becca
I’d spray my grandchildrens bikes to help keep them safe….
John Catania
I’d spray on anything which I use in the dark…can’t wait to own one!
Patrick
I would love to paint myself top to toe and my bike and anything that will keep me safe in londons traffic.
ray armendariz
would for sure spray my bike with life paint. Ride about 100 miles a week with half of those miles being at night. would make me feel much more visable and safe
Ian Wilkins
What a superb idea and from a car company! I can’t ride a bicycle as I’m disabled, but to be able to spray my electric disability scooter would give me a lot more confidence to go out in the evenings and at night. Togive much more warning to other road users will make the roads safer for car drivers, cyclists and mobility scooters. I can’t wait to buy a can.
Trevor Reckell
This product sounds great! If I won the give away my roommates and I would use it to coat our bike frames that we use to ride to and from University. There are very few roads with bike lanes and even fewer drivers who watch for bikers in the area we live, so this product could literally be a life saver.
Jenica
I commute on my bike to work and it is a ten mile round trip through the city. I used to work at a personal injury law firm and saw many a case come over my desk where our client was the victim in a bicycle accident. This has made me hyper aware of the dangers inherent in bicycle commuting, especially during inner city rush hour! I would spray my bike, my jacket, my helmet and my backpack and would be sure to rep Life Paint at this year’s World Naked Bike Ride!
Bente
I would spray everything. My bike and helmet, my dogs jacket, harness, collar & leash! My jacket anything that would be outside at night ! This is an amazing product I can’t wait to purchase if I don’t get a free can
berio
I will do awesome computer vision projects by tracking bikes and other objects painted with life paint.
Andrea
I am doing Ride The Night, 100 k charity bike ride in London through the night at the end of May. This paint would make me feel safer. I would spray myself and the bike.
Joseph Lucchetti
By bicycle is a dark red and my motorbike is completely black. I have been looking for a product that would make me visible at night and this product sounds simply great!!
Erica
I would like to paint my motorcycle and gear. I work with a group that works with the legislation and government for motorcycle awareness and this would be an INCREDIBLE item to show them!
Ashley cook
after buying a proviz 360 gliet this stuff would work wonders. Put it on the market ASAP. Start saving lives.
Daniel
Being in the military, I take a great amount of pride in what I do. I’d like to see what the applications would be for a motorcycle so that I can continue to ride and have a little more piece of mind!
Andrew
As a motor bike rider I would spray my crash helmet and parts of the bike so I can be seen at night
Marsha Phillips
I ride a low riding sport trike ( I am 63 and have artificial knees) and I would so like to have a can of this wonderful reflective “life paint”. I am a poster child for your product as many people stop and ask me about my trike, I could also tell them about this wonderful life saving paint! Thank you for considering me. Let me when when I can buy it if I don’t win. Thank you!
Demond Korotash
It appears to be an amazing product. I wish I was able to purchase this in order that I could enjoy many activities at night without fear that someone might not see me.
Lesley
Brilliant idea. I’d love to give this to my brother who cycles in London – anything that improves cyclists visibility has to be a good thing.
Trevor Marvell
Sounds like a good idea to me, not only for cyclists but pedestrians as well
Dean F
I work all kinds off shifts and spend a lot of time riding in the dark. This looks amazing would def use this on my bike, helmet, rucksack and gloves. Please please please can I have some.
John G
This product looks fantastic, I want to try it on my motorcycle.
Marc Davies
Amazing product needs to be mass produced. I would spray my wheels, helmet and shoes and possible a smiley face on the back of my jacket, then if there was enough in the can, I would share the rest with a fellow cyclist, so both of us benefit. If this goes into production then please email me guys. Its amazing
Graham Brown
I ride a Motorcycle and I would use this paint on it. We are not allowed, by law, to sport flashing head lights or tail lights like cycles can have, so I’m sure it would help to get motorcyclists spotted in the dark too.Great on clothing too, even for walkers.
Laurie
I would spray not only my bike but the back of my shirt and car with a peace sign and hearts. Just a Reminder to everyone about what matters… in Kansas City…
Jo
I’d spray my naked body and ride around Central London, fer real 🙂
Deanne Ketwaroo
My husband is a cycling enthusiast and bikes Everywhere. We’ll even use seperate transportation to meet up because he refuses to ride in a taxi. We just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl 5 mnths ago and I am terrified in NYC and BK traffic that my daughter and I will be alone one day.
Patrick Sim
Hi… I’m Patrick from Singapore. I would like to use this paint on my mum’s (73yrs old)wheel chair, my dad’s (77yrs old) shoe & my motorcycle. This will bring up the alertness of other road user at night. Thanks
Jill Benson
this is brilliant !! I would use this on all my grandchildrens bikes and jackets!!
Sue Otto
We have a motorcycle with a sidecar which our handicapped daughter rides in that’s what I would spray it on. Great product, hope to see it here in the states soon.
Ricardo Cassettari
This is an idea in synch with the reality of these days. People are independent and willing to explore their cities on their own way with safety and fun. This product has the potential to increases the former considerably and has a great business vision for a product. Revolutionary. I would love to get one to test. Thanks Ricardo
Mario Perez
Man this is an awesome product and I’m sure this will save thousands of lifes. I just hope i can be one of them and be able to recieve this product myself. Great job Volvo! det är bra!
Adam
I would spray my wife’s and my bicycles and helmets for when we ride at low visibilty times.
Margaret Mulholland
I received acknowledge of Life Paint through our community program Reflect for Ryan, “Ryan Wallace-Tarry died on January 20, 2014 while long boarding home, (The program focuses on) the education of road safety and awareness.” I believe this product would be used and promoted. Our community would use your product on our dark country roads and in the cities, to paint our bikes, boards, dog leashes, umbrellas, walking sticks, shoes,and we also have many runners whom reflective arm bands, however these fall off with physical movement.
I also Kayak on the pacific ocean and would take a can on paint with in the chance I end up on the water later then expected in order for other boats to see me. I could then paint my hat, lifejacket, etc.
I look forward in seeing what you can come up with….
Csaba Bozso
I’m an artist with my BMX bike and I would paint my show bike. This could be a good promotion for you when I work on stage in Haven Holiday Parks this summer.
Monique
This looks AMAZING! I ride my bicycle a lot….but usually during the day. I ride my motorcycle even more. I would LOVE to test this product out with my motorcycle. I have hard cases and a top case that I would spray, as well as the wheel wells and maybe the fenders for extra flash – and definitely my helmet. I ride my motorcycle a lot at night and am often alone, which makes me more vulnerable. My motorcycle is not a “loud Harley”, so I have to always keep my head on a swivel and be extra aware. Last year a dear friend of mine was hit by a car while on her motorcycle. (Thankfully she walked away from the accident) The driver told her he turned into her because he “only saw one light”. If she had been on a bicycle, she would not be here today. I have had a few close calls like this as well dodging cars. This could be the thing to make just enough difference to save lives. If you don’t select me, I look forward to hearing and seeing those who do get to test it post their results.
Rachel moss
This stuff is awesome! Me and 2 friends are taking part in London’s 2015 ride the night which is a charity night time bike ride to raise money for women’s cancers such as breast, ovarian and cervical cancer. We would love some life paint to spray our bikes and ourselves! We start the ride at 10.30pm on Saturday 30th May. It would make us stand out amongst the London night traffic 😉 and make it easy for our supporters to spot us 😉
Brian
Wow, what a life saver. I would use it on my bike, back pack and kids clothing.
Guygar
I love idea I can see myself spraying my mini van back bumper ,my tent, safety equipment, graffiti art ,the truck I drive for a living …….I see a big use for product in construction industry as well in emergency vehicles .The product is endless …….good job guys I will be future customer as soon product is released till then hurry up lol peace Guy Quesada
Christine
oh man what a difference this would make to my light night rides through central London to get home from university.. First things I’d spray: bike, backpack, rainjacket. And then when I get my hands on a second: everything else.
Leonor Miranda
This is way too fabulous, this is taking our security to a new stage of safety and life preserving. I ride a bicycle and a Vespa S125ie and I never felt safe as the cars either consciously or not, IGNORE US. We could actually say this is a glorious lifesaver!!!!
Mikki Snow
I would spray my helmet and bags on my motorcycle. Miami has heavy traffic and many distracted drivers

Sarah
I would spray my whole bike and bag!
Morgan
This is amazing. I live in Florida and we have one of the highest rates of bicycle deaths. This would be very useful!
Marc chester
I’d glow even more than I do now…
I’d be seen by the idiots that said they didn’t see me…
Maureen Johnston
We would love to get a c an of this paint for our daughter who is a bike rider at the University of Minnesota. It is a great idea. Can’t wait to see how it works.
Tom LaBonte
I would spray it on my motorcycle and riding gear
Joe bear
This looks awesome!I would spray my disc golf discs so I can play at night. Please pick me.
R R Blackman
We both ride bicycles in the Countryside sometimes at night and would love to have the extra protection that this product would give us ,if all is correct ? although I do think that as April 1st is traditionally “ALL FOOLS DAY ” perhaps this is an elaborate hoax ?
Debbie Gill
I’d spray it on my husband’s and son’s bikes, cycling gear and on my husband’s motorcycle too!
Jos
I have a Black Triumph Speed Triple 1050 Motorcycle I’d love to see in this!
Vlad Ionut
I just want it. Just simple as that.
John Stowell

Betty

John cannon
Ian a Police Community Support officer and I Ride my Bike on average around 8 hours per day as part of my patrol duties. I am always looking towards improving cycle safety. This spay paint is one of the best idea’s I have ever seen. In my role within the Police service I know I would encourage all cyclist to use this spray and within the Police service I certainly would seek all emergency service cycle users to follow my lead.
Please could you keep me updated if and when I will be able to purchase a couple of cans .
vicky greenwood
I would use it on mine and my sons bike, he does an early morning paper round everyday its not easy getting him to wear a high vis vest. I ride to work and the gym but would love not to have the extra layers of high vis to lug around with me. Hope this hits the market soon!!
Drey
Of cause I would apply it on my bicycle! But, I would apply it on my motor bike too! Can’t wait!
Grant
I run late at night and early in the morning with my backpack and when not running i bike, so its a no brainer for me…i’d spray my bike, trainers, backpack. Want it, need it =)
Tamas
If its not a Aprils 1 joke, then I would paint my entire bycicle,rucksack, and helmet excellent idea folks
Jessica Berry
Such a great idea. I want some!!
John Hamill

I am all so interested in being a Canadian distributor of this product.
eric melskens
I would love to spray my motorbike whith it. It al black and dark grey. So it would be visible during nighttime
Vicky
This is an amazing innovation that will save many lives. I hope it goes on sale soon at an affordable price. I would spray my children’s bikes and bags so that they are seen and safe travelling too and from their schools.
Helen Kelly
This is amazing and will transform night time cycling. Could also be used for runners like me who in the winter have to run on dark unlit lanes. Hope is on general sale soon
JR
Unique!!
Could only come from a company that worries with the individual, not the client.
Can’t wait to get that shower of life and be seen as I ride my bike..
Congs, was about time! Thanx!
Ella Green
I’d spray my niece and her bike along with all family members and friends’ kids! Now its on the market no cyclist’s home should be without it. This product is just amazing from perspective of cyclists & motorists alike. Where and when can I buy it in the UK?
Lorna Dillon
I would spray bikes (my own and friends if there was enough to go round – everyone has a bike here in Cambridge). I’d also like to spray the back of my 60% Wool 40% nylon coat if that is a possibility.
Melissa
I would give this item to my brother. He bikes to work everyday. However, he’s been in two accidents where cars have hit him.
Stuart Riley
This is fantastic. I ride a motorcycle and would most definitely use this product. I would paint my helmet, jacket and leather saddlebags. At least once a week I am nearly taken out by another vehicle. This product could be a life saver.
George T. Kitching
Wow! Possibly – too good to be true? I hope not! I would definitely spray my bike and also my tent!
Ana Simoes
That’s a great idea! Hoping it will be available everywhere in the world soon!!! 🙂
jeff
I would absolutely love a can of this. I work nights. I go in a 5am to 5pm. My son goes to college fulltime. I can’t really afford another car at the moment, so I let him drive the truck we have, and I drive a 50 cc scooter. I would definitely spray the back and sides of my scooter. Coming home in the pitch dark and that late in the morning. I hate to say, a lot of drunk drivers are out, and I have been ran off the road several times. Luckily, I keep an eye out the best a can for potential problems, or accidents, but to be honest, I just worked 12 hr shift myself. It would be very nice to be that lit up so I would have a lot better chance of getting home every morning. Thank You
Elaine
Multiple uses I will start with my glasses always losing them
Elvin Rodeo
Wow! This is an amazing product. This will definitely be a life saver.
jon york
Hi this paint would brilliant for me I finish work at 10 pm and cycle 10 miles home every night down the leicester ring road sometimes there’s no street lights can be very nerve racking when lorries only just see me this paint would make it a lot safer and been seen by the motorists
Wendy Goodchild
I would definitely try it on my bike, helmet and clothing
Ralph Curran
Looks great to me. I would use it to spray my bike for night rides.
Jim McDonald
I am really interested in this. I am the Head of Health and Safety at a Scottish University and we encourage cycling to work. I would like to publicise this to all of our staff and students. It would be useful to be able to advise them where to buy it It is possible that we could offer to treat bicycles and clothing as part of a clinic.
Can you let me know when you intend to release it for sale in the UK?
Vadim
I’d spray both of my bikes, skateboard and rollerblades so that whenever I ride and give the second bike to my friends, we all feel safe when we ride back in the evening.
Cynthia Allen
Road bike, I had a terrible accident last October and I am still recovering
Boise Idaho 83705
Cynthia Allen
I had a serious bike accident last October and still recovering. I would paint my road bike.
Boise Idaho is know as the Biking capital of the USA
Chris Symkowick-Rose
As a daily bicycle commuter I find this product to be a great idea but I also hope that our cities can work on making our roadways safer for bicycles. My recent encounter with a car door of a parked car would not have been prevented or made any less likely by a product such as this. Only awareness and improved roadways can do so.
Kris Bryant
Please let me know where I can purchase this paint. What a wonderful idea! I have a rescue horse I adopted 2 years ago. I can only ride her in the evenings because I care for my elderly parents full time during the day. Unfortunately, the boarding stable is along a highway and I have to ride down the narrow shoulder to access the bridle trails. We often get caught out after dark, and I find myself riding back along that highway, full of blind curves and speeding cars and headlights. I do wear a reflective vest and band around my helmet, but it’s not enough. With paint like this, I could spray my saddle, saddle pad, bridle parts, and more. This would make a huge difference in our safety, and your product would be saving two lives rather than one. Mine and my horse’s. Thank you so much for bringing this product to market. I can’t express my gratitude. Go Volvo! 😀
Alex
I’m almost blind and have a sight of 20%. I’m not allowed to drive a car so I’ll have to depend on my bike or the public transport. I live in the Netherlands so traveling by bikes is pretty safe due to our bikelanes. However, near crashes do occur and I’ve been in the situation a couple of times.
If the other drivers could see me in the dark, that would help me a lot. That’s why I would paint my bike.
Callum weaver
If I had a can of life paint I would spray my whole bike, bag and coat with it so I could be seen through my eleven mile trek from work at night time. So many incidents have happened that drivers need more than a light on a bike to see you
Amber Zimmerman
I would use it on my Childrens Bikes and School bags, Maybe spray down the sides of my car, so that I don’t get side swiped by another Car
grace
being a messenger in crowded crazy city, NYC for years and had gotten into a handful of accidents because of my black bike at night, this would be extremely helpful and awesome, can’t wait for them to be out in stores!!
Ingram Barss
Love it! I would absolutely use this.. it would be great to have it available here in Nova Scotia – especially during our darks winters when the days are so short!
Larry
What an amazing product! Life Paint will definitely save lives! This would make my night riding SO much safer! I participate in multiple Ultra Cup races each year, riding 24 or 48 hours. I would paint my bike and helmet. Bring it to the USA soon, please!
Tom v
I want to paint my 24″ rims on my suv with this awesomeness!!
Tori Roberts
Not only would I paint my bike, but I’d also paint my jogging clothes. This could be great for runners, too.
Valentine
Cynthia
I have a special needs child. I would love to spray his scooter and bike. It would give him that extra safety advantage and help him be more independant
Linda
I would spray all my clothes, shoes, hats, scarfs etc. as well as my dog’s leash & collar. I walk my dog everyday & I am hesitant to walk after dark because it is hard to see. My neighborhood does not have street lights & it can be very dark walking on the roads.
Wendy
What an amazing new product, surely to save many lives!
Laurel
Definitely bicycle and clothing!
Hazel
This Volvo lifepaint would be a fantastic Golden Wedding gift to my husband. Cycling is his world and besides the road bikes that he has, he restores rusty vintage bikes to their original glory. He then displays them at events. So as a thank you for 50 wonderful years of marriage, for him to have this sensible, safe invention I say to Volvo well done .Thank you Thank you.
Rachel
My bike duh! And maybe my friends bike when she wasn’t around so she would start tripping out wondering why her bike was now all bright at night haha.
Chris
I do a lot of charity work involved in road safety in jersey c.i and i am working on a project at the moment the potential of this product is vast and will improve the side vision of car drivers to enable light vision of the bicycle at night I have potential sponsors to invest in stock import on a charitable basis you can never put a value on a life i can’t wait to purchase this product .chris
Liz
I’d spray my bike, and the bikes of as many of the people in Team True Spirit as I could until the can runs out. I cycle in and around Glasgow and have had near misses in the last fortnight despite making myself as visible as possible already. LifePaint sounds like a great idea.
Francine Stevens
What an amazing product! I would spray all of my bike and backpack so I am visible and more confident to bike home from work
Cate Cody
I’d spray our bikes, helmets, rucksacks and the dog’s raincoat 🙂
Richard
This is a good innovation for road safety of cyclists like me, I myself ride to and fro my work 6 days a week and most of the time end up late at night, I hope this brilliant volvo product will be out to the market soon =)
Steven O.
What a great idea from a company that truly cares about the safety of each and every individual!
Tami
My husband and children cycle around London on a regular basis (I don’t, it’s too scary!!), so do lots of our friends, commuting everyday, sometimes when it’s dark. So the Life Paint seems a great idea and I can’t wait to get it to try it out for the safety of my loved ones. Pleae let me know when it becomes available to buy it in the UK!
Barbara B
I’d spray my rucksack, and my walking group’s sacks too, to make easier for motorists to see when we have to walk on-road in fading light, when they have their lights on.
And give some to my grandchildren for their Duke of Edinburgh rucksacks when on treks.
Peter Barlow
Looks a brilliant idea.
as well as using it on my push-bike and my motorbike gear I’d want to see the effects of using it under theatre lights worth my high school pupils.
Elisa Engel
This looks amazing! I would spray my unicycle. Look forward to going down in history as the ghostly unicyclist of Hackney….
Nora
what an amazing and safety concierges project :). I would spray my friends bike and really all of him in it so he can reflect away in the streets of London. Would love to hAve the opportunity to get this for him as a present and at the same time be able to create awareness of the importance of bike safety. Plus he would look totally wicred 🙂
TIm
What a fantastic idea! i would spray my back pack , gloves , shoes and bike
Debbie Vincent
When will this be on sale ? need this for the roads in London..well for my bike on the roads in London i mean.Hurry up and stock the shelves..fast fast..
Audrey Blouin
Me me me! I’ll spray my bike, my backpack, my helmet and my “caisse de lait”! In Montreal, we have cycle paths but they’re still not adapted to cohabit with cars (I’ve already had a car/bicycle accident). This spray is an amazing invention, can’t wait to buy some.
Paul
Amazing! as an artist, I would totally have fun on my bikes! Me needs!!!!
Jason ermes
where can I bye some ???
EB Seymour
My oldest son commutes on a bike through the city and then rows on the river in the dark. If I won a can of Volvo Life Paint, I would illuminate his bike, helmet, riding clothing and backpack in addition to illuminating his uni-suit and the bow, stern and oars on his rowing shell. Thank you Volvo for the research investment involved in creating Life Paint. If I were to win a big enough supply, I would love to paint the lane markers on the roads!
Roger Till
At last a great life saving idea. I’d like one for my son to keep him safe whilst on the roads.
Rolex
So you’ve made a product that looks great, loads of people would buy and better still SAVES LIVES, but it’s not available to buy?????
Glenn
Fun at the party and fun on the way home with life paint! Would buy it!
Jen
I love this! Life paint…a reason to go safe cycling at night. When will it be available to purchase commercially? What will the cost be? Many thanks!
Vinnie Miller
I have just started cycling to work again after having to wait over a year to get another bike after being involved in a traffic accident where I wasn’t seen by a driver at a roundabout…….. I NEED THIS PRODUCT
Rick Felty. (USA)
This is a very life saving product. I would spray school children’s clothes, bicycles, motorcycles, hunting gear, the back and sides of my car, guide dog packs, walkers for the handicapped, mailbox posts.
Just called my Volvo dealership here, he has no knowledge of this product. I would so dearly love to have a can of this and until it is. Allowable to buy I would use it sparingly.
Kathleen Arnason
This is brilliant ! Making the invisible visible – Life Paint is just that the energy of Life and staying alive! Thank you for this I look forward to using it and I know I will feel so much better for everyone drivers and cyclists alike…staying alive …with Life Paint!
marco van den hoek
Wow guys! Im calling up invention of the century!
Especially because its the answer is right in front of us.
i circled around a small puddle of water in the rain on my motorcycle and almost got run over by a truck.
not to mention my daughter going to judo every wednesday.
really looking forward to buying this.
My hat is off for the Sweeds!
Cheers from the netherlands
marco
A-Glow
I’d LifePaint my pigtails under my helmet. Flying bananas!
Travis
I would spray it on my bike and child carrier bike trailer. Shoot a video, post it on YouTube, and plug the site.
cj cruikshank
I would use my can for when im riding home on my bike from work at 3:00 am cause theres no street lights out in the country I already was hit once
clive pyke
This is a brilliant idea. I am moving from the quiet, empty roads in the Dordogne to the countryside in the Yorkshire Dales and am worried about the danger from the increased volume of traffic I will be seeing. I would spray all of the bike, my back pack, helmet, trainers and gloves.
I want THEM to see ME, so PLEASE send me one.
Earl
I live in NYC and commute five days a week over two boros. Riding at night is a little dangerous, especially in the colder months when drivers don’t think cyclists are out.
I would paint my entire bike, my riding clothes, my bag and my helmet. I would also paint my dogs dollar and lead because sometimes I take him with me for his exercise.
Sharon
Great idea, would be perfect for my husband when he is training for his marathonsas it would be Great for runners too.
Roger G
Definitely gloves so people see you indicating . If you can do the rest of your clothes with skeleton style bones all the better.
can you imagine the comments when the driver gets home. ” Hello love, I’ve just seen a skeleton riding a bike.”
Mustafa Demir
As a cyclist I believe I and my bike mates need this paint more than anybody on this page. Why?? We are cycling in Turkey and the drivers are not sensitive to cyclists like in Europe. Cycling culture is definitely new than European countries.We are cycling like the Knights among the cars :). I tried to find this paint but now only sold in UK. That is a great idea can help us more than anybody.Wish to get it…
Adriana Lawton
This is amazing! I would spray my partner’s bike and cycling gear. He cycles to work (21 miles round trip) he has been hit a couple of times sustaining serious injuries. I would also spray my little boys bike and helmet.
Can’t wait for life paint to be available for purchase.
Andy
I would spray my commuter bike, saddle bags and the wheel spokes. California has a lot of cars, please get this to the USA soon.
Matthew Mckeon
I would use it on my helmet and pads, as well as my wheels on my longboard. my friends and i love the feel of the cool air at night as we race down the hills in our neighborhoods. I am constantly looking for new ways to indicate to drivers safely that we are skating at night, without having to have to carry an illumination source. THIS WOULD BE PERFECT!
BC Tan
Wow, this thing would help me become so much visible to the others road users, thank you. I would use it on my bicycle.
Carrie
I’d like to spray my kids’ bikes. Heck, maybe them too ;).
Everard Cock
Spray your erogenous zones so as well as not getting run over you may get lucky with all the people focusing on your naughty bits!
Mariane McLean
This is brilliant. My husband and I cycle and run in the dark. This would keep us both safe. Where can we buy this?
Jari
I would paint my helmet, shoes and wheels.
Nice, you still can wear black and still to be seen…
Georgina
I was wondering if I could use it on my mobilty scooter as the lights on that are not very good
John S
I just signed the petition, “VolVo, European Commission: Volvo should retrofit ALL their cars and trucks with their “Life Paint”.”
I think this is important. Will you sign it too?
Here’s the link:

Rinat
I would use this to paint my daughter’s trailer which is attached to her daddy’s bike!
Would love to buy some
aaron
This is just wicked, I think I would paint the whole bike and myself with this stuff! I would even spray my tyres on my car!
wendy
this is amazing! in plain country (upstate new york), the mennonites ride bicycles everywhere and we’re in the country (so no street lamps) but on a busy thru-road — so, this is just what is needed.
Bell Duterte
im from the Philippines, I’m very fascinated with this product and hoping to come out this on market as soonest time. I’m a cyclist and biking is my life, and in this life Volvo life paint would be better for my safe night journey as I travel mostly at night. Can’t wait to purchase it, and plan to have it supply in my fellow country, philippines, for them to be safer.
Anne
I would spray the entire family and their bags, bikes and jackets. Daylight savings has just finished so we now ride home in the dark. Australia has great cycling weather, but bad cycling infrastructure and some drivers that get a bit snaky when they nearly kill you.
George
I will be attempting the Dunwich Dynamo this year 200km night time bike ride!
It would be great if I could be as visible as possible so they spray would be amazing!
p.s Also If I win I would share with my fellow riders 🙂
Agris
I am mostly pedestrian and would paint my backpack. 99% it’s with me. And my bike.
Georgianne Lakastos
My friend Kimberly lost her son in a biking accident. She has his bike set up as a memorial to him. She would love to get a can to use on his memorial as a way of reminding motorists to watch for bicyclist in the streets.
Georgianne Lakatos
My friend Kimberly’s son was killed in a bicycling accident. She has the bike set up as a memorial to him. She would like to have a can to use to highlight the dangers of bike riding on the streets.
Juno Montanez
HEY HEY HEY!!!…this is very very very WRONG of you! How can you put this out and then tell me I can’t get one!! 🙂 I need a can so I can fully spray my bike…wait two…three, four, many so I can give it away to fellows cyclist!!! OK, let’s start by one. 😉
João Canilhas
Thank you VOLVO, for always thinking on the safety all of us!!!
My bike would be paint as also my boots,gloves,jacket sleeves and helmet.
Studheart Charles
I have just found out about this awesome product and I had to research what the hype was about. Now that I have watched the various videos and read through hundreds of entries on forums and social media, I DEFIANTLY WANT IN!! lol =)
I am a very keen road rider and the proud owner of a Specialized Allez (2013 & 2015). I mainly use my 2013 frame to get from North West London to Surrey, as I have been in love with her for just over a year and can’t seem to shake off the guilt I feel when I’m not on the tarmac with her.
I would spray my carbon forks, my seat post, my seatstay, and maybe even my stem, with the spray!! With that said, the lip[ of my rims, might also get a new spray makeover 😉
I hope to be the lucky winner of this can of magic life spray, as I am sure it would benefit my daily 25 mile rides!! =)
Thank you for the opportunity *ThumbsUp*
Philip Baumann
On April 3rd of this year I was riding into work and was struck by a car. I was not serially hurt just a few bruises. It was dark and foggy. I was going strait through an intersection on a green light and the oncoming car was making a left turn when they turned into me. I have 2 lights on the front of my bike. One on consistently and one strobe. I still do not under stand how they did not see me. If I had the chance to get a can of this paint. I would spray all 3 of my bikes and all of my riding clothes. I would also be very interested in buying a can when it is available.
John E Stevens
Would like to spray it on my motorcycle for safety. Would then make a video of the results for you.
Jameelah
Being a cyclist new to the UK, this paint is teally useful! not to mention, it’s fun! it gives a new color to cycling! We jumped around when we saw the news about this paint! Will be painting the whole bicycle
Julie Moylan
Hi . My son is director of Spice Roads Cycle tours and he campaigns to make cycling safer, for all ages as we older folk are taking to our bikes too! He would spray the logo as well as the bikes! In many countries on or south of the equator night falls very fast…. Catching many people out.
Well done for producing a product that can make you visible but is also Seriously Funky so everyone will want to use it!
Best wishes.
Julie
Andre Pierce
I worry about my little girl on her bicycle, even though she she has lights and reflectors. I’d like to paint her entire bike and her helmet.
Howard Roberts-Jones
what a brilliant idea here in MidWales you take your life in your hands after dark however strong the lights you use
Uros
I have a sport sailboat Fireball. I would try this paint on it!
Chloe
I would spray my bike and my dogs harness as he runs next to me!
Kathy Girden
LOVE LOVE Love the idea of this product.
WAY TO GO VOLVO…..
I ride both bicycle and motorcycle. As well as running. I have 2 daughters who often ride bikes home in the dark. I would spray all bikes – Motorcycle included. Tires, Shoes, Backpacks, Running pants and Jacket.
I would also paint house number for easy reading of the number. Would definitely like to buy some.

Would love to use this on my son’s stroller and my other son’s bike
Francesca R.
Fantastique !
Perfect for a “STOP” sign on my son’s jacket. I would definitly by this if available in Canada.
joan
I need to take this to Burning Man! I would love to spray everyone who has no lights on, and then there would be no waste of giving a glow-stick bracelet to somebody too wasted to hold on to it.
Please start selling this stuff soon!

Being an avid road cyclist, wife and a mother of two teenage boys who ride their bikes everywhere they need to go, Volvo LifePaint is a blessing to everyone who uses the road. Having been hit by a car while riding my bike two years ago, being visible, although we do our best with blinking lights and reflective clothing, is not always easy. Spraying the entire surface of my and my children’s bikes, as well as all helmets and shoes, would be something akin to a huge neon sign reading, “I’M HERE. DON’T HIT ME!” Now, if only we can find a way to disable texting abilities when a driver sits behind the wheel……..

So.
I don’t cycle.
I push scooter. Wish is more dangerous as I was a cyclist and I know.
Born and raised east Londoner. I have lights reflectives and have looked into mini l.e.d for my 20mm wheels.
This would be a bodacious addition to my road safety
If you don’t send me a can just let me know when it’s available for purchase and can be your first push scooter test subject.
Peace and love always.
MartyB
Great idea!!! Love it
Mary Keuler
This is an absolute life saver! Your company should receive an award for this! I would paint my my entire bike with Life Paint! I would also paint anything that I use at night! Bravo Volvo for this product!
dan
I will paint secret messages on my friends cars! also my bike!!!
Theresa
I would spray my whole bike and all my gear (helmet, gloves, jacket). I would also let my running and cycling friends use it too. After that if there was any left, I would spray my friends, especially my really gullible friends, to keep them safe, but mostly just to see their reactions once I tell them that they are radioactive.
Barry LaFond
I love the idea of your life paint. My grandson rides his bike every where and this would make his parents feel more at ease with him out after dark. Also I ride a motorcycle and this would make me more visible to cars.
Luke
This is amazing, I really want to get my hands on a can!!!!
Luke Shaw
I would spray the entirety of my bike, wheels, helmet, jacket, you name it!!
Kaleigh
I would spray all my gear! Bike, helmet, panniers (maybe not my high viz jacket) – I’ve been hit twice (by cabs, which I usually find to be very aware on the whole) and I would love to not get hit again.
Aleksandar
Out of the dark and into the light.
I have so many ideas i want enlighten the world with this stuff.
Want more than one.
Marion
I drive my bicycle every night to come back home from my work…it would be perfect to me and other people be safe :)! Amazing!!
Al Maturo
I would spray my bike wheels, my helmet, my gloves, and a few other already non-reflective items.
Please inform me when this becomes for sale. I have other interested parties, some 100 riders at a school.
Jeroen Troost
What an effective way to increase visibility and at the same time your own safety. I don’t know if I can compete here because I’m from The Netherlands, but working in a big city here I would definitely use the spray on my bag and sportswear I use every day as a PE teacher. Brilliant invention!
Paulo
Looking forward to see it in the marketplace to have my bike painted. Night riding will be awsome!
Peter Boardman
Hi, on the 2nd of May 9 cyclists are competing in the JOGLE for Brain Tumour Research. To have a product like this would be amazing for our safety. If you can share a can or 2 that would be really appreciated.
Many thanks
Pete

Segundo Barahona
Great products..cant wait to get one for my kids¡¡¡¡¡¡ Costa Rica.
Michele
I would spray my bike, my helmet, my shoes & my camel back. And I would sneak spray it on all my friends bikes also. 🙂
Jake
My fiance and I live in NYC. She has just recently started riding her bike home from work in the dark. If I had a can I would spray her bike to make sure that she was safe riding at night. And if I had any left over I would paint “Just Married” on the back window of our car 🙂
Katarina
I will spray everything, and also my shoes !
Eric Cunningham
I have 4 young boys that are always on there bikes after dark, I’d spray their bikes and their 4wheeler with this product, can’t wait to see it on stores
Shazza
I’d spray this on my 125cc scooter
It’d be much better than using my tooter
At night, when lack of light, can bite
So I can safely not end up a hooter
Pick me!
Mats Gillissen
This paint is incredible! When I go exercise i can never take my bike because of the risk to get hit by a car. I could really use this paint to spray on my moutainbike. so i can go without having to worry about the cars seeing me. This is a great invention en could really save a lot of people.
Nancy Shea
I would paint my bike and my husband’s bike. Then I would spray some t-shirts mad put them on my dogs so we can run them through our neighborhood in the evening after work.
Charles Robel
I would be ever so grateful if i could receive a can of the volvo lifepaint, not for myself, but for a friend of mine in the UK. She volunteers for charity bike rides and bicycle events to helo raise funds for wounded soldiers and their families. She has tried unsuccessfully to obtain one of the free samples on offer in the UK and my hope is that I could help her since she helps so many. Please consider helping me with this gift.
Jane
I would love to buy this! I have a dear friend who cycles to & from work, early in the morning & after dark, in our un-bike-friendly city of Buffalo New York, USA
Debbie
We would spray life paint on all 3 of our bicycles. My husband got hit by a car a few weeks ago at dusk time and he had lights on his bike. He hurt his shoulder, forearm and bruised his head. Thank god he was ok. We now need life spray because he commutes to work everyday on his bike and we want him to be safe. Thank you.
Irena
I want this for by beautiful son, who rides home from work late at night and has had a number of misses….I just want to keep him safe…..might spray the cats as well 🙂
JBerry
This is a wonderful product! I cannot wait for this to become available for purchase! This is a must have for any biker! I have to always been too nervous about riding my bike in to work during the winter months due to shorter days and it being pitch black when I go to work, so I am limited to the summer months. This is perfect and every biker should have this product in their arsenal! I would cover my entire bike, my helmet, and my clothing with this paint! Once again, this is just an awesome product!
Ange Buckley
This is beyond cool! I live in Cambridge and would love to be able to get the craze going here. It can only help everyone. Safe for the cyclist and better for the cars, I feel nervous driving at night around the cyclists. This would make me feel much safer on my bike at night too, not alone the kids bikes. Thank you Honda.
Olly
Fantastic Idea – I will be sharing this with all my commuter friends (there are many of us) – will be spraying on my gloves/hands for easy indication – and my sons scooter!!
Jo Hart
I would paint my 10 year old son’s helmet & bike so when he cycles in the winter he will be more visible, and hopefully safer. Genius idea!
Felix
I think this is fantastic. I am now more visible in the dark. Keeping safe it important. Keeping in sight is fundamental to night riding especially in winter months. I would put the paint on my family bikes and clothing when cycling.
Don Strohmier
I would use it on elementary children walking to school in the early morning hours when it’s difficult for drivers to see them, especially when they wear dark clothing. A quick spray on their back pack or jacket before they left the house would certainly make them more visible. Don’t forget to spray on the side of the body for children tend to cross busy streets where there are no cross walks and it’s difficult for drivers to see small figures. There are endless possible uses for this product to provide more safety.
Ahmed El Saadi
I would spray any edge i wish to bring attention to and avoid collision with. Applies for a bicycle, a car stopped on the side road as well as a coat while fixing a car.
An ideal use of this would be in the emergency kit of the car , bike and any moving vehicle, individual.
Regards,
Ahmed
suzanne
my nieces, their bikes and the cat’s collar
Norman Kelly
My bike, with stencilled patterns and my gloves! This is an amazing invention that will definitely save many lives and many more injuries… 🙂
kristen
i’d paint my bike rims, my helmet & my shoes 🙂
Anna
I would use this for shoes, jacket, backpack and maybe for fun at home pot plants pots. Best thing I have seen for a while. I use to walk home in the dark, and was using cylume sticks on my bag so I could be seen. I reckon this would be handy, keep in back pack for just in case
marleen fremery
On the 23rd of may we will be running from Hamburg germany to rotterdam the netherlands. This is a 580 km estafette run for charity. 48 hours without sleep and accompanied by cyclist. Ofcourse safety is a big issue during this event. This paint would be amazing to have for us to increase the safety measures! You can check us on http://www.roparun.nl, team 41 Gers! Kind regards, marleen
Lara Celyn
I love the idea of keeping my family safe at night! As an active family we often go running or cycling after work/school but by that time it’s dark. Life spray would be great to spray on our running jackets or even trainers.
MARU
Amazing!! we ride around my city during night two days a week. We take a group of people and lead them by an established route. This is an excellent way to get noticed and avoid accidents! I will spray my bycycle and helmet and will share with my group.
Raimundas
I’d spray my helmet and clothes as my bike
Lee Harfield
Growing up there was a cycling campaign that sang “dark means danger, so get yourself seen…” and I have to say this is THE best product I’ve seen EVER to do just that. Any way to get noticed by other road users has to be a good thing. This certainly would do just that with exemplary results. Good work Volvo, be great if this could be a longer lasting paint job!!
Christopher Klaus
I think I would spray dangerous areas on the street itself. When it’s lasting on cloths and frame, why not on the street?
kyle
i ride a 1980’s nishiki road bike home every night from school. it stresses my wife and kids when i ride at night. this would really help me put them at ease when im on the road.
jane frampton
I wish I’d invented it! What an amazing product. I would paint all my families bikes and outer clothing. Along with the collar and coat of the dog! Anything that can help visibility can only be a good thing! Yes drivers have to be more aware and cycle friendly but lets help them! Even a seconds extra visiblilty could save a life!! I think this should be given to kids walking to school and elderly citizens, in fact everybody who leads an outdoor life!
peter
I do a lot of touring on my bike during the summer. This sounds like a brilliant product, I would spray it on
bike, jacket, trousers and panniers.
Dave Bundy
I need the paint because people in Ventura county drive crazy i’ve been hit three times in the past few months on my bicycle. It defiantly needed to spray our bikes with in this town.
Dexter Gamboa
I will be painting my bike and exercise clothes so that i will be safe when i bike early morning or at night. It’s only my available time because of work and hot temperature during the day.
Marta
I would love to paint stuff for my Horse an my clothes!
Marta
MaryAnne
I don’t bike. I’d spray my car’s bumpers.
Victor
This is so cool, I really would like to paint my bike and helmet!
keith storer
brilliant idea get it on the market asap i want some
Krzysztof
This seems like a great idea. I would love to spray my bike and cycling helmet. Would definitely feel safer on morning and evening rides.
Mark Titterton
Excellent product. I am a keen cyclist and motorcyclist. This needs to be sprayed on both machines and helmets!! Why cant we buy it yet?
Thomas Blane
I first got wind of this product from a friend, and when I watched the promo video. The first thing I thought was what a genius idea.
Where I stay my local council are re-fitting main street lights from the old yellow glow to clear white, while cars continue to shine a funky strip of LED’s looks great, but in my opinion do not give off that beam needed to travel the distance to easily see other road users.
If this paint picks up that beam quicker then job done safely, This paint, in my opinion WILL save lives and reduce accidents involving cyclists, joggers, or people, like me, just trying to get home from a late shift from work.
If I had a can of this paint I would spray it on my bike, clothing, bike helmet, places that would increase the ease of seeing me in the dark.
Keith Hart
Be safe be seen is an old road safety message that still makes great sense. This has to be a good idea – well done Volvo.
Ed
My rear end, rear stays, front forks, hubs and maybe my lights for when the batteries go flat- then i’d have enough left over for my shoes for the weekends on the dance floor and the long walk home.
Brendan robinson
Life Paints not just for bikes, as a runner as well I could spray my shorts/ jacket or whatever and been seen as well!
Nick
A brilliant idea. I can’t wait to try it.
Debbie Ironside-Smith
This paint is a must have – I commute to work all through the year and have just had my first crash as the motorist swore he didn’t see me and I am lit up like a Christmas tree – everything we can do to improve has to be a good buy – please please Please sell this paint on the open market.
Dave
I think this is absolutely fab, this is thinking in the right direction. One mod I would make is spray it on the stuff I want to reflect and then see if I clear cote it, would it stay as reflective, if so the applications would be endless.
another mod could be spray your item of cycling clothing, bag etc and then apply some hydrophobic spray over to make it “water” resistant, may prolong the durability too.
Augereau laurent
J’ai retapé mon vélo en carbone noir mat et je roule beaucoup la nuit. Je souhaiterais donc appliquer votre peinture sur celui-ci afin d’être bien visible lors de mes déplacements.
De plus, Je travaille dans un atelier d’artiste et je vois beaucoup d’applications différentes possible avec ce produit. Je ne manquerais pas de vous envoyer des photos de mes expériences.
Merci!
medeea
Awesome!! I’d spray every person’s bike
Michelle Hodges
I need this paint, been nervous cycling everyday along busy road since i was knocked off & injured. I have extremely bright lights & high vis, not good enough bike needs to be visable to
Karen McMahon
My husband is a hemophiliac and im petrified of him riding at night. I would spray all his clothes and bike to make sure he’s visible when riding or waking in the dark.
Lesley Snell
As a commuter this product sounds amazing. My commute to work takes me through busy traffic and narrow country lanes. Both situations are hazardous and this product could be a life saver literally.
I would spray all our bikes (4) and my running gear as I run at first light. This product is just what we have been waiting for – well done Volvo
Ginge Ward Able
Amazing product. Will save lives. How can we buy this product? Would really like a can. X
Rusty A. Thompson
WOW! Looks very impressive. I live in the United States, Los Angeles area. This is a product I am very much interested in. I want it. I need it. I believe in safety and this product has me wanting it more than anything. Please let me know how to get it.
and How soon can I get it ?
Thank you
Wayne
Too often over here cyclists become virtual targets for car drivers and some even consider this a sport. If hit, the common excuse is that the did not see them. This product would clearly eliminate this excuse thereby giving considerable more emphasis on road safety and driver responsibility. I would definitely use this product every time I would bike anywhere. Looking forward to this coming here to Canada.
michael miguel
Before I used to believe that “loud pipe save lives” because in our country Philippines there’s alot of irresponsible and reckless driver. But now I believe that ” paint also save lives”. Thank you. Ride safe.
Janice hobson
This looks amazing I would spray my motorcycle clothing I think this will go far in the motorcycle community
Summer Aldridge
This would be a great addition to our bike club. By the time we are done with our ride in the evenings, it is dark. We could cover our bikes and clothes in the spray to protect us from being hit. Right now we use flashing lights and vests but we are not always seen.
anne clinton
I would spray my husband’s commuting bike, so I’d not be so worried that there’s been yet another accident on his commute into central london.
Linda Maitan
on my grandkids outdoor toys. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THEM SAFER! I hope it is on the market soon.
Claire alford
Having been hit by a car a few years ago because the driver said they didn’t see me I think Volvo life paint would be awesome to spray my bike with please as I could feel reassured that I have higher visibility on my commutes to work at the hospital where unfortunately we see too many results of careless road users
Lottie Hare
I’d really love a can of this – I am cycling a 100km charity ride around London AT NIGHT on 30th May 2015 and would love to be really visible to the rest of the London night scene so they may donate to the cause of Women with cancer- as well as being seen by all the other cars and riders on the road that night !!
Jacqueline Dimbleby
I have cycled my whole, I followed my brother onto a bike. He was hit one red nose day and I took the phone call at around 13 years old. This spray would revolutionise cycle safety. I would love to be able to give this to my brother.
angelic
Fantastic we need some here in Canada I love to give to all cyclists great great concept !!!
Louise Graham
I’d love to gat a can of this for my sons bike. He is going to secondary school in September. This would make me feel happier about him cycling to school. Fabulous idea. X
Karl
I would use this on my 3 sons helmetes clothing & bicycles I think this is an awesome idea high five to the developers ✋
Scott
I would use it on my motorcycle gear as well try it on some of my firefighting equipment like axe handles and pike pole handles etc…
Nikolaos Vargelis
Bien fait.
Sean Dooley
I love taking our baby boy for walks in his stroller . I take our little guy for walks at night quite frequently when he can’t sleep. The streets around my home can get busy. I would spray our stroller as well as the jacket I wear at night when we go for walks . Not only would I spray our own stroller but I’m going to highly recommend this to others for their own use for nightly jogs, walks , bike rides ect. Even if I don’t recieve a can I will pursue this product to purchase regardless now that I have seen it in action . I will do Anything for the safety of my baby boy.
Matyas
I had an accident at New Years Eve, half an hour before midnight. I want to celebrate the next one, so I would paint my bike and what I mostly wear (bag, jacket…) + some creative graffiti in Budapest. 🙂
Jeff
I love this concept of this product and I can’t wait to get hold of a can…. I’d spray the grandchildren to make sure they’re always seen when they’re on or near the streets… also I’d spray my dinghy outboard motor so that it could be seen more clearly on the water 🙂
Ben Hobson
I spray my two kids bikes and cycle clothes, we live in very rural cumbria and the roads are dark and drivers fast anything to see someone at a distance has to be a life saver
James McDaniel
This is a technology plus for person safety. I ride a motorcycle in the Republic of Panama and I don’t know if you could send me a can. I would be willing to give you feed back about LifePaint and how it reacts in the humid climate here.
I would also like to purchase the paint at whatever time it is available for commercial sale.

Great idea, I’d spray my kids bikes as well as my own,,
Anything that helps to be seen side on can only be a good thing.
Lisa Silva
I’m going to ride my bike after many years. I want to feel safe while I’m riding. And my son is going to help me get healthy. So I’ll be on the bike a lot. That’s why I’m going to TEXAS. That’s where he lives & he just started his own physical training place.
Vicki Groth
I’d spray the kids helmets, bikes, shoes and clothes first. Then I’d tackle our bikes. Can’t wait till this product is on the market. What a great idea.
mr r abbott
Motor cyclists need a good reflection as there are more motor bikes than cyclists at night ,one life saved from this spray is worth every penny.Let me no when it comes on the market.
mo coffey
Would love to give to my two grand children so they could spray their bikes. Cycling home from school in the dark winter months is always a worry for the whole family.
Becky Steel
I would really appreciate this. I’m a community support worker and cycle round the city and find I do feel invisible sometimes. Especially hard in evenings/winter. This needs to be available everywhere 😀
Michael Tanner
Living in West Cork with narrow lanes and often poor visibility this will be a lifesaver. Please let me know when it is available for sale.
shuhei
I really want to try this spray and I try to buy it, but it is impossible to find any website I can buy them….
and I can not buy in Sweden…. I dont know if you also deliver to outside of UK or only uk,,,, otherwise If you could let me know when and where I can buy this in Stockholm or Online-shop.
Eleanor Hill
Love the idea, love to try it out, love to get a can for free!
Be great to have a non-wash-out version for the frame and accessories too. Have visions of cycling home on a stormy night and progressively getting less and less visible…
Pam Stephenson
There are 2 cleaners/mid day supervisors at school who are amazing despite illnesses and family hardships who cycle to work and back everyday. I would give them this to keep them safe especially when the nights/mornings begin to get darker again.
Margaret and John
We need this product!
My husband and I ride a recumbent tandem 3,000 to 5,000 miles every year. Additionally, in June of 2016, we are retiring, selling our home and stuff, and will travel the USA on our tandem. This will be our second cycle across the USA, but this time it will be a circumnavigation. Instead of 7 weeks, we will be meandering and will take 1.5 years to complete the journey. Since it is just us and a trailer, we will be riding in all types of weather and levels of light.
This could be a lifesaver, and would provide our grown children and grandchildren, piece of mind.
I think we would be the perfect test subject for your product and a great advertisement tool.
Susan hales
I would stencil my phone number on my bottom and hope to get invited on a date 🙂
Susan hales

If he can keep up……
Kerry Curtis
this would be grate for me as I’ve been in an accident 2 months ago. I would spray my back ,helmet, my front and my whole bike
Chiara Marin
I’d spry my dad’s bike, as he’s 71 years old and likes cycling around town but his eyes are not as good as they used to be, yet he surely doesn’t want to stop, so anything to help making his cycles safer would be great, thanks!
Eve
Hi. Every year at Burning Man, riders have to go to extraordinary lengths to light up their bikes to ensure they are seen by other bikers and the big Mobil art cars. I would love to have a can to spray my bike with to ensure I’m safe, even if batteries are depleted. Thank you! Sounds like a great product.
bill sutton
i want to live!!!
Anna
My 17’year old son has just started work the other side of town & he cycles to work.
He is working in a restaurant until close which could be any time.
I would feel a little happier if his bike was sprayed in the paint.
He was knocked off his bike last year & had a major break to his ankle.
I’m not happy about him cycling in the day, as I’m an epileptic & can’t drive he has to get himself to his job
lucija blaskovic
Great product! I will spray it on my doughter`s chair on my bike. Thank you!:)
Len Steele
The ideas for this product are endless. Here in the US a product like this has been needed for a long time. I do have one idea that would be absolutely huge that no one here has even mentioned that everyone here owns. Contact me ASAP. You won’t regret it. Len

This is the answer to many parents prayers. I would spray my son’s bike helmet & backpack. Oh! & the soles of his shoes. Please let me know how to get a can. Please please………

I’d paint children’s Halloween costumes so they could be seen more easily at night when they’re trick or treating..and crossing streets
Keith
I work as a State Trooper and nights are my playground getting drunks off the road. This is my passion at work because they are the killers among us and everyone i catch could be saving their life or someone else’s. I would spray my black coat so I am visible to the drivers and still keep my tactical advantage with the drivers I’m dealing with who on occasion have it in their minds to do is harm. This stuff is a great idea as a person who works the roads and highways at night in snow, fog, rain and dust storms.
Lidija
Safety is the best insurance for kids 🙂
Jon Ander
woooowwww,
i would like it to distribute in Spain and Portugal, as we are a importer and specific or special chemical distributor since 22 years ago. I have been searchign for this a lot of time!!
I will use it in all the vehicles i have; car, motorbike, bike . And also in textiles as shoes or bags.
very very usefull !!
Sally Smith
I have 3 bikes and would cover them all in the paint not to mention my shoes, their soles and my helmet.
The other day I was turning into a road and the taxi driver was practically in my lap!
The paint is a brilliant way to be seen!
Sally Smith
I have three bikes – so would cover my bikes, my helmet and shoes and the soles of my shoes. The other day I was Turing into a road the taxi was practically in my lap because he was so impatient to turn!
The paint is a brilliant innovative product!
Rebecca drane
I motorcycle in to London everyday, I think this paint is a amazing idea. Anything that helps saves life is epic in my books, I would love some of this paint!

Stewart McGee
I would use it on my car and my children 🙂
Loren
Knowing my boyfriend was wearing a dollop of life paint when cycling home from the office at night would let me sleep at night. Looking forward to seeing the London streets lit up 🙂
Mark Howlett
Great product and since I am a hunter it would come in handy for marking tree stands for coming and going . awesome product with many apps.
helen morris
I’d love a can to give to my brother, to help keep him visible on his bike. Can it be used on cats? We’ve already lost one on the roads & a collar doesn’t stand out on long haired cats!!
Hope Smith
We do a cycling event to help people with breast cancer and have always wanted to do a night ride but for safety reasons have put it off. I think it would be amazing to see 400 cyclists on the streets of Austin perfectly visible to cars. Great idea! Also when will we be able to buy some?
Bruce
I would spray my bike, helmet and backpack to try and avoid being knocked off again despite my many lights. This product appears likely to have far more impact and would be a godsend to the cyclists of Edinburgh
Paul Larkin
This paint might be the best thing”since sliced bread” .i I’m a Granddad with 14 Grandchildren. And I would use the paint on there favorite coats. To make them stand out . Because every life is pressush
Brendan Bourke
Send some to Australia. It seems to get quite dark here most nights.
Rick Bertoglio
Great idea. I would spray my bike and my son who goes out on training runs at night.
Bruce hills
My neighbor has MS but still manages to go to work every day in his wheelchair. Even with lights and reflectors, he has been driven off the road and also struck by an automobile so far when returning home at night just this past year. I realize your offer is already over, but should you happen to obtain any more product for distribution, I would very much appreciate contact so I might acquire a can at normal retail, to spray his chair for him. Best regards and safe riding.
Andrey Batashov
Great idea and interesting product! I would use it during those long Russian nights…. =)

Brilliant idea. Simple to use and a must-have for any cyclist

As a builder of one off custom cruiser bikes, this product is an amazing idea for me as a cyclist, and for an aesthetic purpose.. I would use Life Spray on ALL 7 of my bikes!!
Victoria Bilogan
Please!!!
My colleague,professional pianist musician was hit by a car and ended up in coma.Australia is a very unfriendly country to bike commuters. After riding bike in Denmark I try to ride it here at least to work.Every time I am on the bike I fear for my life:pedestrians are as unaware of bike riders as motorists. I am professional musician myself and hands are my life. Can I get a can of this paint from anywhere?
John gray
On my vest and chaps and tins on my harley. The numbers for car vs bike accidents rise every year.

Hopefully, Louis …
Valtteri Karjalainen
Hello! I heard of this paint and i just wowd 😮 in our school everybody think safety vest or something same is so lame and stupid so this would make it stop If i spray this on my jacket. Also it would be really usefull on my whole bike.
ines homburg
It’s almost my brother’s birthday and this is what he wants! He’s turning 18 and it would be great if I could make it a special day 🙂 He has to cycle a lot when it’s dark, I would be verry happy if I knew he was visible for all the cars. Of course he thinks he is too cool for a fluorescent vests so this is the perfect solution!
David Summers
I have come into conflict a number of times with Fellow road users the last causing me 7 stitches in my elbow and 5 in my knee and I see this product as a life saver …I Would use it on my bike and cycling gear amazing product ….Volvo always thinking safety brilliant…. Well done….
Swithun STILL
I would use it to go running or cycling in the evening… and maybe spray in on my dog’s leads (assuming that it is not toxic!) Please bring it to market… or just give me a can or two!!
Andy morgan
My son won’t wear a helmet in case it messes up his hair so I’d substitute his hairspray for this. That way he’d be visible if he didn’t wear a helmet or it would force him to wear a helmet! Win/Win!
Guy m
Safety first cycling ! Id love to test this on my urban commute rides and countryside night rides with my club.

This is amazing. I am going to spray my motorcycle and almost every item i have with this product.
Send me a tester.
Gale Littler
My wife and I live 4 blocks from Virginia Beach and ride there every day! Tourists do not watch for bikes and we have had many close calls, even though a bike lane is provided. I would use the paint on both our bikes to help us near dusk when no one is watching out for us!
Teresa
my son-in-law is training to be a paramedic and cycles to and from uni. He also takes his 1 year old son for a bike ride (child seat on back of bike). I would spray them and the bike for peace of mind and to ensure they return safely!
Katie Haysom
I excited to see this! Thank you for coming up with a potentially life saving product. If I were picked to receive this spray, I would use it on our bicycles, our helmets, and my husbands bicycle bags. He has really been getting involved in bicycling. He is riding his bicycle nearly every day for 30-60 miles. His safety is most important to me. He also has a few backpacks that I’d like to spray.
Anita
Mostly I can’t compete with “Spraying my beard”. I would like to spray clues and the treasure in big Geocashing games. The address on addresses I visit that can’t be read because it is to dark.
Honestly,I just want to spray my boyfriends bike and clothes so he makes it back from his 60-150 mile rides. I would also like to be able to see him when I fall behind on a ride. That way he cannot sneak up on me or sadly I don’t follow the wrong biker accidentally. I would like to keep the boyfriend that I have. I like him very much.
Michael Carmichael
I’m an avid rider at night and this would help out tremendously to be seen at night
Neil Dorman
Should be compulsory to all commuters. Brilliant idea.
Being seen on a bike can only make things safer.
Ivan Teo
This is a fabulous and life-saving invention!
Suzanne Beck
This is a fabulous intiative. Whether you cycle for work, business or pleasure. A real life saver and so simply and easy to use. Well done Volvo.
Robin Morris
So a product like this which if it lives up to all the hype that can TRULY save people from all manner of” I JUST DIDN’T SEE YOU” incidents can ONLY be obtained by special decree! PLEASE take a chance and get it on general sale before there are yet more victims on the EVER INCREASING STATISTIC LIST
s.campbell
I am so excited by this new product especially because my son is a cyclist in London and Worry about him all the time especially at night and during the winter months. I will definitely buy him some as soon as it is available. I loved the way that it was developed as well with a thought for the reindeer in Lapland.
Kim
I love the idea and think it is a brilliant concept – will the one on sale be waterproof or will the bike/clothes (or even the target on the wife’s back – comment above) have to be re-sprayed each time it rains?
Marion
Fantastic should be in all the bike shops and supermarkets.anything to save a life,will be buying a tin for my son to spray his bike. Hope you are exporting it to Australia as my son and grandchildren would benefit from this product.
Anita
i would spray my daughters bike. She cycles across London every day and I worry for her! Brilliant invention!
Derek Wood
i cycle to work one week at 4am! then the week after i ride home at midnight! i am a train guard so work shifts! anything that helps me be seen at night has to be good!!
Oskars
This product is amazing…i would spray my whole body and run naked mile!! BR to inventors 🙂
ilyas
I cycle 30 miles to work everyday. This product would be good for my night rides when I cycle back to home. I can’t wait to buy one asap.
richard
This has to be one of the best ideas for safety (not just bike users) for many years. If its clothing as well, then I’d spray children’s school clothing.
Too many schools don’t provide luminous clothing and when the winter months are upon us kids become invisible, they need to been seen as much as any ‘road user’
Simon Dodds
This is a fantastic product and could have many uses. Not only can it help cyclists be seen but also my daughter runs middle distance for Rotherham Harriers and this would make her more visible to motorists when on her long road runs in the winter
Cheers
Simon
Charmaine DeLong
My husband loves to bike after he gets home from work. He travels through busy neighborhoods and roads. I would feel safer if I knew he had this reflective paint on him and his bike. Definitely a great idea!
David Morton
When I read this article It just blew me away.The idea of my kids having this product to enhance their chances when cycling at night would be a great weight lifted from my mind when they are out
Cristine Floyd
This is an ingenious invention that will save a lot of lives and make it much safer for us bike riders who tend to ride when it starts getting a bit dark. Great invention, kudos to the inventor!!!! Very excited!!!
craig
Wow – as always I’m last to hear about such amazing products, but this would be amazing for my son who uses his bike to ride to school. I can’t wait for this to be available mainstream as it can help save a lot of lives!
Nita Usero
My family walks at night and my brothers use the bikes a lot especially at night. Life Paint will definitely keep us much safer. I am anxious for it to be available in the USA. Nita Usero
Manuel Luis
Its fantastic to think the safety visibility on bike but i’d love to use it on farm veícules that need to displace at night
Chainsaw
I WANT TO BUY NOW!!! My city cant drive worth a damn specially at night.
Lynne
a fantastic idea for both cyclist and car driver. we have to share the road so its good that everyone can stay safe
Matt
I’d spray everything. What a great product. I need some.
Anna hart
Its a fantastic product and I do a lot of cycling in the dark and I have two lights front and back and wear a reflective jacket but having my bike reflective as well would make me feel so much safer on the roads especially as round my way all the smaller roads the street lights are off at midnight so yes would be great to get some Volvo life paint Anna x
Anna hart
Its a fantastic product all the street lights get turned off at midnight so I would feel safer cycling home at night being able to be seen more clearly Anna x
Rene
There has been a increase of deaths in bicycle riders in Miami, Florida. So much so that legislature is being passed for baricades and walls for bikers. I don’t want to get run over. I will use it wisely.
Marie Cox
My husband cycles into and home from central London every day, a round trip of 22miles. I think anything that will make him more visible and help keep him safer is a product worth supporting.
Damien Sultana
i would paint my bike frame, my back pack and sleeves. It would be a GREAT product to have.
Carolina Castro
Hello, I live in Mallorca and would like to try life paint both for cycling and running. I can´t train during the day and so the evenings is all I have. I also take my dogs with me, so it would be great to try it on the dog collars.
It would be awesome to be able to wear the life paint to the Electric Run that I am running in Barcelona on the 10th of October!
stephen parsons
As a driver i have just missed cyclists with no lights on a number of occasions.
As a cyclist i am always aware of my lights not being bright enough, life paint is a fantastic idea.
Bruce Daniels
This paint is pretty kool. I ride a 1998 Harley Davidson Road King and would be proud to spray this on my scooter. So many people either don’t pay attention or just don’t care about the folks on 2 wheels. My hats off to Volvo
Maureen p Klaum
As a mom of 4, all the children’s bikes and skateboards and backpacks would be sprayed! Please let me know as soon as this product is available in the United States!!! Thank you for thinking of such an amazing product!
Denise Lipsey
Brilliant idea. I’m off to the south Coast on a cycle holiday in September. Although I do cycle every day in the Midlands. I Would spray absolutely everything. My bike, clothes and shoes. Let me know when it goes on sale. This is a must.
Aaron
i cycle every morning at 4:30am to the pool to coach swimmers. At this hour motorists are even less attentive. I’d spray my frame, helmet, and backpack. I wish I still had my Hed3s they would look fantastic lit up!
Jo Walsh
I wish to get some of the Life Paint in order to spray my daughter’s bike, she is currently 9 years old and still attending primary school however when she is due to go to secondary school I want to feel comfortable with my daughter being safely seen on her bike.
I just truly hope that we get picked to win a free can of this amazing paint .
Sean
I would use it on my motorcycle, i think it would help and also look pretty cool!
Artemiza Silva
I’d spray my brother’s bike! He is a biker, and i’m always worry for her safety, in my place the cars drivers are hell. But, can i buy it? I think this is a perfect birthday gift for my bro 🙂
parker wonser

Marina Rowles
I would spray my sons bike and work bag, he works nights and I worry so much about his cycling in the dark.
Bee
A moped as its hard to see at night in the Philippines. And also very stylish at night with its different stencil ideas on my mind
Oliver
I would spray my runing shoes and my pants….
I often run at night and it would be great to have such à product for me…
Greatings from France…
Sheenagh
My bikes mudguards, my gloves and helmet and my doggies jacket with a big bone design
Cath
My son cycles back from school every day in the fading light and does not realise that cars do not see him – I would spray his whole bike.
Federico Dion
I work at night, always… I come back by cycling and sometimes it’s really a problem… I will have to dress myself as christmas tree in order to be seeing 😉 Please, one can.
A Parkar
If posting a comment could save life… I would post a comment everyday !
I would suggest to give a can free to all those kids who travel to school by bike, just as sustrans are supporting.

Travel safe, Be Safe.
Karen G
When will this become available in the U.S.?
And for those of you saying you will spray it on your pets, I hope you realize that it might be toxic. If you won’t spray your body, please do not spray theirs! Anything you spray on your pets fur gets absorbed into their body via the fur. Look it up.
Mr Charles lunney

Elliot Williams
Hi, I would love this as a gift for my dad as he is worried about commuting back from work in the dark after an accident. it would be sprayed on his bike and clothing aswell as using it for our dogs collar for walks at night.
Timothy Watkins
I would love to ride with a bit more safety and there’s no better way than to be seen better by motorists. I see this Life Paint as the ideal solution. I have lights and reflective gear, but still I have had friends get hit and some killed this past year. That’s not good enough. I want to be even safer. I would spray on parts of my bike frame, my helmet and my clothing.
Mike van Kersschaever
A must have !

Grtz mike
Liam Steel
Fantastic idea. Can’t wait to spray my bike. When will it be available in the shops?
Jenny Icabone
Love, love this product!! Both my sister and brother use their bikes as their mode of transportation. I would love to give this product to them!!!
Vilma
I would paint my college children bike and helmet. They are both in a traffic busy city so this would be ideal. Would love to get my hands on this in the USA!!
B. Lake
Would love to give a can of this to my youngest who bicycles to work and back, in Boston, a notoriously dangerous commute . . . Win or not, this is a stellar idea!
Douglas
After a brain injury I need a product like this if I continue to ride.
Rodolphe
Wonderful inovation !! Is it possible to receive one in France ?
Elizabeth
I love this! My bike would definitely get a coating. My second get around town at night as I live near the beach in Maine? My bubble gum pink scooter with daisies and helmet would absolutely get a nice coating. I hope this goes retail in the near future – would it be able to come in neon colors some time down the road? Please and thank you!
Katerina
I would like to paint horses my daughter is riding, because she loves to ride in the forest and you never know when you can meet a car…
I would like to paint my mother in all because her new flat is unfortunately located in the middle of city forest with many many bikers but lack of lights. I’m afraid of her (69) – she helps me with my kids, therefore she returns from our place almost every day in the evening…
I would like also to paint my Suzuki Sixteen, because of my safety by night riding….
Thank you so much!!! Would it be possible to Prague? (-:
Katerina
One of my kids returns every day from the Music school never before 7 p.m. She is only 13 she has to go through the city…. with many trams, cars, bikers…. It would help her/me very much of course (-:
Sylvia
This product has s many life changing uses… Railway worker safety, police officers, buildings, maritime support and cyclists. As an ex-cyclist and moped rider who was hit by a lorry; I am now disabled and can not ride a bike anymore. However, my husband is ,cyclist and his safety means everything to me and would love scan to keep him safe on his cycle commute to work.
Enricodf
Is this revolutionary!
Safety for us cyclists is a matter of life (or death), I was hit already a couple times by cars speeding up or turning cutting me off.
At night cycling in major cities , and even a peaceful stroll, can be such an issue. I want to try it definitely!
Enrico, Italy
Diane Evanac
I live in Florida and I would spray my bicycle with Life Paint. I’d also spray my backpack as most of the time I have it with me. Thank you.
Tamirind Roisin Dubh
i live in newcastle upon tyne and would love this as i use a powered wheelchair and always i got to be home befor it gets dark and if i used this then i would be able to go out with friends and also be able to take the dog out and know that the cars and traffic see me
Cem
I live in istanbul and ride my bike regularly both day and night for work as well as to keep fit, the traffic in this city is quite caotic as is, this paint would be of great benefit to stay noticed and hopefully stay alive and well. Hopefully the product will be on the market shelfs soon at an affordable price.
Barry Osbourne
Absolutely fantastic idea I would spray my sons clothes as the eldest rides a scooter I would also spray that lol and the youngest rides a bike so that would get sprayed as well as his backpack.
Jeanene
My son rides his bike everywhere & definitely at night which scares the bejeezus out of me due to poor visibility. This product appears to be a valuable safety tool for both car drivers and bicycle, motorcycle, scooter riders, etc. Hopefully we can purchase the product soon. Pasadena, California
Fulmer Castro Vargas
Para pintar mi bicicleta ya que trabajo entregando comidas con la app Uber y me es imperativo hacerme ver en la noche.
