    Hi, yeah I've used it. Both Blue and red.
    I fond the red to be the brighter of the 2.
    They're not exactly 'clear coat', they give more a 'misty' finish.
    The great thing about them is that if you don't like it or get bored of it, you can rub it off with a wet cloth.

    Agreed, or don't let the muck gather too much, give it a dusting every so often.
    Besides, the paint needs quite a rubbing to remove it. It wont come off if you go over it softly with 'damp' cloth.

    Actually you are right. It also comes off with water, trust me.

    Last time I checked, frozencpu only acepts(sp?) PayPal. No CC, money orders and so on.
    Look around, you'll 'prob find it elsewhere.

    As a reply to the stuff you have mentioned, I have used that before but only on my walls because I have 2 4foot UV cold cathodes. For inside of my case I use a different UV paint I bought from Spencer's gifts which I actually put on the components and chips.

    that's if you gob it on, you need to use thin layers and it stays on just fine.

    Stil on the motherboard and the video card, even the heatsink that heats up it is still on.

    I don't remember but something like 6 bucks comes in a bunch of different colors.

    all those bright colors to the right.

    the only thing is it is not clear under normal light, but it still looks good even with out UV lights on.

    Ohh by the way I am in no way responsible if you fry anything with the paint :D

    Lol, I have that same paint kit from spencers!

    I've been buying things from frozencpu for 2-3 years now, and not once have I had to use paypal, so I've no clue what you're all on about.

    And as far as the spray uv paint, no its not clear, yes it will come off with water, multiple coats are good if you dont have the clear coat. Heres something I did with some of the blue:

    Yeah shroom that paint kit is really nice. I think I am actually going to clean off that old motherboard so I can put it in a smaller case with a blue and purple uv color scheme and I have another board that I will paint for my current case with thre green fans.

    By the way, anyone interested in that paint kit, there is a down side. When it gets hot, it cracks. So unless you put multiple layers on chipsets etc, alot of it will blow off in the airflow.
