I dont think people paint their wires, they use sleeving. UV Sleeving is the kind that lights up. If Im wrong and you are actually talking about paint then it would be UV paint.

lol, yeah, people sleave their wires, but I am planning on painting my copper tracks on my mobo orange, so that is possible too..
you will need some form of UV light, and UV reactive whatever you're planning on using.

What you're talking about are UV reactive cables and sleeving. They glow when UV light hits them, sorta like how white reacts to a blacklight. You can buy round IDE cables that are UV. To make them light up you will need a UV cold cathode like this inside your case.
