    hi all
    just a quick question
    i would like to get hold of some cheep uv reactive paint or varnish or something i can paint my fan grills with. i remember people using uv nail varnish but i am not sure where you would get this and i dont want to go and look all shifty in boots or something.

    i found a place on the web but £10 for a pot of paint seemed a bit much as i only have a tiny bit to paint

    thanks

    colored highliter and white out. do test pieces first to see it in action, but its ultra-low-budget.

    great idea!
    i got some uv dye for water cooling, i was thinking some of that in some water based paint

    but like you say, i will try it out one some paper first!

    just tres it out on a small piece of what you want to use it on. it will go on a chip different from paper. so if you are planning on painting all of the tiny chips on the motherboard, highlight one of them where you won't see it so you can get an idea of how it will look.
