    here's some paints i used and the cost in $AU
    uv acrylic: bargain shop, craft section $3 a tube (acrylic glows best)
    uv enamel: hobby shop $2 (not as glowy)
    Spray enamel: hardware

    All need to be applied to a white base or bare metal surface for max GLO

    POWER and the GLORY

    i have something similar but the bottles are much smaller and more expencive. im betting its enamel based because its in glass bottles and i have yet to see acrylic come in any kind of glass container. what do you think?

    yep, i reckon enamels only come in glass because there oil based and wouldn't like plastic.
    i've found that enamels apply smoother to a larger surface than acrylics, but don't glow as well. enamels were used on molex boots and cpu fan. acrylic on heatsink tips and mbd components.

    that looks sweeeeeeeeet! reminds me of those really old style haxx0r films.

    "omg, i'm hacking the main frame"
    *types frantically*
    "oh no, he's got me"
    etc

    you get the idea

    Sorry for the post, I just like making any references to that movie (even if hardly applicable).

    Again, Sorry.
