Clearneon Paint
By Lex Dodson
Ever get bored of being able to see the paint you spray? Probably not, since being visible is one of the major selling points of paint, but here comes a challenge to conventional wisdom from Clearneon. They produce a line of UV-reactive paints targeted mostly at computer modders and car customizers, though a clever mind could easily twist this fun stuff into a genuinely practical chemical. Imagine invisible serial numbers and permanent glow-stars on your kids’ ceilings.
With a per-can price hovering around $20, painting a wall will be pricey. Amazon has the best selection of colors with both aerosol and liquid paints available, but computer parts retailer Xoxide has the best prices. Grab a can, and relive Gone in Sixty Seconds 21st-century style.

Better get it soon, supplies are limited! Guess Pimp My Ride didn’t boost sales enough. . . they are going out of business.

Just Xoxide is going toes-up. ClearNeon is apparently not.
