Thread: Need an airbrush medium that won't fluoresce in a black light. Impossible?

I know something out there exists, because I've seen it in action. However, I didn't catch a brand name or ink/paint type to google search, etc.

The issue is this... suppose you spray a light color (i.e. yellow). In room light, it looks yellow (as you'd expect). However, if you go into a dark room and shine a black light on the yellow, it will glow dark (like a deep purple or black). Dark colors fluoresce dark as well, but you don't notice it because the color is already dark.

I've tried almost every kind of off the shelf paint... even food coloring seems to glow dark in a black light.

I have not tried 'transparent' airbursh colors... could this be the trick?

hi check the ALSA web site hey make speciailty paints they might have what you are looking for

Thanks for the ALSA lead. I'll call them tomorrow.

I had one indiviidual say they think the following type of type would meet my needs. However, I can't seem to find this stuff... have you heard of it?

"Hi Rez water base ink, used to make rubdowns". I can't find this 'Hi Rez' brand and I don't know what a 'rubdown' is. Sorry if these questions are stupid... I'm new to all of this.
