I searched and didn't find anything so....

What is the best glow in the dark airbrush makeup/body paint that wont clog up my gun? I'm doing a little experimenting and my salon is going to a party and we want to airbrush our logo on skin but we dont want it to show up unless we're under blacklights or in the dark?

Any suggestions? Thanks

I saw that but the paint on the sites are of color and not the invisible kind that wont show up on the skin unless your under black light... That's my dilema

The closest thing I have found is this

But they do not have their contact information listed to ask questions about the product so I'm a little iffy on ordering just yet.

I had to make my own "Black Light" bodypaint. I could find anything that worked the way I wanted. Part of the problem may be that I use a $14 airbrush. It has few controls so I had to concentrate aon the problems of flow. I added some glycerine to the aqua-colour and got some pretty good results. I can paint a full body without clogging. I also built a high powered UV light system. It emits very little visible light, so the reactive paints show up well. Have a look at some of the images from my Black Light bodypainting portfolio:

Thin this out to the consistency of milk - might need a few coats? I can't tell from looking if it is water soluble but I'd imagine so?

Thanks for all the quick responses. I finally found contact information for the company. I had to goto one of the parent sites to find it.

Hopefully this is what Im looking for, I sent them an email. 

If it's not what I need please let me know. I dont want to damage my equipment :p

I haven't used this, but I watched Vargas demonstrate it, and it worked really well.

If you just need to make a logo, I'd ditch the airbrush, make a stencil of the logo, and use these spray cans.
