Born from an aftermarket painter’s 2009 effort to improve glow-in-the-dark motorcycle paint, Medina-based Darkside Scientific developed LumiLor, an electroluminescent coating that lets manufacturers and custom painters apply light directly to curved products. Founded after Andy Zsinko’s 2010 prototype reveal on a Pink Floyd-themed Kawasaki, the company now supplies LumiLor as paint, vinyl, and screen-printed film and supports integration from prototyping through production.
