alright..before i order some uv sleeves..i was wondering if i could make my own sleeves using split loom or like surgical tube (LOL) and adding like uv paint on it or something...i dont wanna wait on ordering sleeves and waiting up to a week on it

so can i add UV reactive paint or something to some sort of tube?

note: this is all on air cooling so no dye water

It's better to just buy rounded UV cables IMO.

i just electrical taped mine tighter together and then used some of that flex hose u can get for automotive wires u can pick em up and any auto parts place and they come in bright colors like yellow or white too which im sure would work with a uv light. The sleeve had a split down it and u just wrap it around the wires and its done looks pretty decent imo.
