I have some green v10 and pure blue powder and water based paint on the way, and I wanted to get some ideas and instruction. My first project I want to try is my duramax flashlight from autozone. It has a tir optic and I didnt know where to put the paint to the get the best effect and efficency. I thought about painting the inside of the head or the side the the optic.
I know the tir optic is supposed to capture all the light from the emitter, but there seems to be some light still cast off the side of the optic. I figured this may be a good start to try adding glow. I've looked around at different projects and like the look of the glow in the flashlights. Just figured that with paint and powder I may have the most options for mods.
