Sometime in the near future i wat to paint the inside of my case black and install some blacklights,but i was wondering what type of black would absorb my standard bluelight more the satin or flat? see i dont want it to reflect

Flat paint will absorb light better. The satin paint is between gloss and flat in it's shine.

Stay Blue. They UV will not react at all with flat Black paint. The only reason you would want UV is if you have internal components that are UV reactive.
