Jim 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.
