ClearNeon UV Spray

[dudewheresmytardis]

I was helping out at my gf's store Gothic Renaissance today and I noticed that they carry a product I have been unaware of this is called Clear Neon (hxxp://www.clearneon.com/cart.php?m=product_list&c=2) which is a clear coat spray paint that reacts to UV. Whoa! Seriously? Anyway, I immediately recognised it's value, this gives us a way of accurately replicating UV portions of ID using photoez. Seriously aside from inkjet printing which many are iffy on (I preffer it but that's just me) this would be the best way. I used to mix UV pigment with airbrush and photoez to the effect of "this is above my paygrade" (quoted from the FBI's top east coast expert in 2006). This would be the poor-man's version. I'll try it for myself once I get some photoez and then post a guide. But even without testing I can tell you this is the right stuff. I did play arround with it for a minute in the store, but I'll do it more in-depth for you guys.

Does it come in different colors??

yeah check the site, red, orange, green, yellow, blue, purple, and white. It about $15 or up per bottle but it's a pretty decent sized bottle, if you're doing these en mass you'd likely get a hundered or so sheets of txp coated using full sheet stencils of high-res photoez. I did some quick one-pass lines of the colours in the store on plain copy paper, there is no trace visibly of any treatment at any angle or through light, completely invisible. I'll take some pics under blacklight and post the for everyone to see. They are marketed a being extremely high in brightness, and is esentially a high bright pigment suspended in a mix of high grade alcohols.

Looks pretty legit.. I personally haven't had any experience with Photo-ez
which seems like it'd be the only way to go... Unless you get a stamp of the UV image??

Ok, tested it in the store yesterday (sprayed my watch chain and fob) and the shit is pretty damn luminescent, deffinately going to work out for three colour screen-done holos.
