    摘要: There is provided a paint including a pigment, a carrier liquid, a binder, one or more additives, and a taggant corresponding to the one or more additives. The taggant is provided in an amount up to substantially 0.1% by weight of the paint. The taggant is excitable by infra-red or UV light at one wavelength to emit light at one or more other wavelengths, the emission wavelength or spectrum of the taggant being indicative of the additive(s) in the paint. A method of authenticating the paint on a substrate is also provided.

    摘要: A painted vehicle trim component such as a spoiler, side-view mirror housing, or other vehicle body part is provided with electroluminescent paint to emit light from its surface. The trim component includes a substrate having a mounting surface for attaching to the vehicle. A conductor body is at least partially embedded in the substrate to provide a conductive surface exposed externally of the substrate. A conductive wire is crimped to the conductor body and is adapted to connect to an electrical power source remotely from the vehicle trim component. A conductive bus bar paint layer is deposited over the substrate and onto the exposed conductive surface of the conductor body. A light-emitting paint layer deposited over the substrate is disposed relative to the conductive paint layer such that light is emitted when an electrical signal is received at the conductive wire.
