I don't think that would work. A black light transmits both in the visible
light and UV frequency spectrums. Each frequency is attenuated, reflected, or
absorbed differently by a material.

If you see light coming through the trailer when shining the black light, all
you can deduce is that the visible light transmitted through the trailer,
nothing about whether the UV.


You have to bring your Metallica black light poster with you and see if
it glows.
