Black Light reactive sticker/paper

[beneharris]

So I had an idea for a finish when I found some blacklight leds on amazon. So I want to do kind of a star background so when you kick the pedal, it all glows. What havs you guys used paper or sticker wise for that? I'm not exactly sure what would react to blacklight like I want.

I feel like you would need to find a way to make the led shine down onto the pedal, instead of coming straight off the surface. You might get an okay result from the pots you can mount MEDs in because a clear knob might redirect some of the light.

I've actually got an idea for that. I don't know that it's a good idea, mind you, but I'm gonna try.

Interesting idea! I have a UV LED torch, and just tried it on some white water-based acrylic paint (the kind you use for decorating Airfix models – Revell 36-301 White) and it lit up super bright.
