Why not make the registration numbers on your bow a reflective material?

Is there a product you can mix with paint to be reflective ? I wanted to do this when I painted a red waterline on my boat. "HIGH LIFE"

I use relective viynl for stripes and graphics on my boats for that very reason, on my gibson which we run at night a lot I ran a 2" white reflective stripe the whole side...it's on white so don't notice during the day..but at night you can't miss it..to many idiots out there flying blind at night..seen to many where we are...
