Finding vehicle markings using ultraviolet light

Recommended Posts

A friend on another forum, (I know, I stray sometimes) has suggested using an ultraviolet light to find markings hidden in paint layers below what is visible.

 

I know for one I will be using this method on my Ferret as it's identity is a mystery thus far.

 

Has anyone else heard of this and what success did you get?

The procedure I've seen is quite complex. It involves cleaning and etching with a solvent on bare metat. As far as under paint goes, that would depend on the thickness and composition of the paint I'd imagine. You also neeed quite a powerful scource and darkness.
