I was holding off on buying this stuff until I saw/heard how effective it was. Great review, really helpful.

vladimir · 13-June-03, 06:33 AM

good review

BigAkita · 13-June-03, 06:39 AM

Good review. I have a plan for some of that blue uv paint...

TheOutcast · 13-June-03, 08:45 AM

This stuff gives me ideas... I may yet find a UV cathode in my comp down the road.. all three of those colors would work in my idea too...
And it has something to do with wolves, incase you were curious.

IronSerif · 13-June-03, 11:00 AM

Thanks guys! hopefully the review was helpful and/or sparked some ideas

Personally I might add some orange or pink to spice things up a bit in the future

hawklen · 14-June-03, 04:04 AM

Great review. Id love some of that stuff..but other things first..fix my computer...

pink? ewww. For yer barbie case iron?

Lokie · 14-June-03, 04:45 AM

I have a differant brand but yes it is good stuff.
I like how you show'd the more coats the better comparison.

theduke · 16-June-03, 12:55 AM

i read that oneof the bad things about he paint was that it had a posibility of flaking. do you think that if you put like just a simple clear coat spray on it. that it would keep it from flaking. but it will still work with the UV light.

DuckWarrior · 16-June-03, 09:18 AM

Duke,
flaking should only be a factor on items that can flex. Like cables. But having said that, I sprayed my cables with red UV before there was red UV cables and there is no sign of flaking.
Or on the fan I sprayed it on and it is a headsink fan.
I wouldnt worry about it.
If it makes you feel better, then go for it, clear coating shouldnt interfere too much.

The only problem with "flaking" That I experienced when using the pcToys Neon Maxx Black Light Accent Paint was when I was installing the spiral wrap. If you take your time with the spiral wrap and minimize the movements that it goes through, it will definitely help to reduce the "flaking"

spikemike · 26-June-03, 08:48 PM

i think it would be pretty cool to use the paint on those laser engraved acrylic windows to accent the picture.

IronSerif · 27-June-03, 10:48 AM

Welcome to PimpRig Spikemike!

That's a good idea, do you plan on trying that?

DEATH · 27-June-03, 11:34 AM

I should get some orange, cause I'll have orange in my case, it would look awsome on a tribal design. Something like DW's but different design lol. Anyone has some of that paint left

?
PM if you do, and you wanna donate it to me

spikemike · 27-June-03, 12:21 PM

two problems, 1 i don't have the m oney to buy the paint or the window, 2 i think it would be hard to do with spray paint, and i would like to find some invisible paint i can apply with a brush if i were to do it.

ZENNZZO · 27-June-03, 01:12 PM

I noticed you used a white trash can. When using this stuff on lead weights for fishing I got way better result using a base coat of white first...my 2cents worth

spikemike · 27-June-03, 06:35 PM

starting doing some research on it today. will probably get a custom etching with some lightning and cityscape, then make some stencils and highlight the building lights and lighting with the uv spray paint. don't expect anything soon, probably won't have money for this project until august. But hopefully it will turn out pretty cool

Yeah definitely, if you can use a basecoat in any situation go for it!

But since this stuff goes on clear, you may not be able to spray a primer on to everything if you want to preserve the original color.
