Clear lacquer can be used, it may slightly reduce the fluorescence of the coating but won't interfere with the "glow in the dark" aspect.

Lightly abrade the plastic surface with abrasive paper and use a plastic primer (online code 456863) to help with adhesion.

It could be used but there are several points to consider:- With modern street lighting the glow would be quite faint. The formula contains a fluorescent pigment as well as a luminescent pigment. The fluorescent pigment gives the product its "day-light" yellow colour. The luminescent pigment gives it its glow at night. The fluorescent pigment will gradually fade, and re-application will be required every six months or so (depends on amount of UV light exposure). Therefore fairly high maintenance.
Also, the paint has a matt finish so would benefit from a gloss lacquer to help protect it (matt finishes are more prone to scratching / damage). Use a white primer.

This cannot be sprayed on a tent for two reasons:
Firstly it would crack and flake off as the tent fabric moves, secondly the solvents in the paint (mainly acetone) would attack the tent fabric.
