Most coatings, and all that meet IPC-CC-830, contain a UV tracer
thats is an aid to inspection DURING the coating application process.

Adding color to a coating disturbs its protective performance and is
not at all encouraged. Some folks ask for opaque coatings, and this
issue becomes even more important as the opacifier will be a filler,
and as such reduces the moisture resistive performance.

There are special spray booths available that incorporate black-light
in the spray area, but do make sure the lights are explosion proof!

My web site has more info.
