A method is disclosed of manufacturing photoluminescent paving blocks or pavers at a paver manufacturing facility. A curable paver composition is provided at a mixing station for mixing. The mixed composition is shaped into uncured pavers having upper surfaces at a forming station. A curable liquid coating composition is applied to the upper surfaces of the uncured pavers at one or more coating stations. The uncured pavers and the coating composition applied thereon are heated in a kiln at a curing station to cure the uncured pavers. After leaving the kiln, the coating composition is cured to form a photoluminescent pigment layer having a binder with photoluminescent particulate pigment essentially uniformly dispersed in the binder and an optically transmissive clear coat layer in overlying relationship with the pigment layer.
