It isn't as matte and it doesn't have the UV phosphors.
That stuff is EXPENSIVE, as you can see from the tiny Hi-Po bottles.

Yes those are expensive indeed.

These the ones I used. Cheap chinese garbage I'm sure

Probably won't last very long. We will see.

Thanks for clearing the fog out of my head!

I think they dim nicely and it doesn't matter which way you install them.

Good people there at hi-po.

I got my MPC and FSM from them, back when I had a Windows laptop w/ optical drive.

Did you spray directly on the needle or use a brush to apply ?

No, I sprayed aside, on a piece of paper.
And then applied gently on the needle, with a small artist paint brush.
I had to let dry before applying a second touch.
