Does a photosensitive paint and process exist for an art application

My high level objective is to apply a photosensitive paint(s), expose the paint by projecting an image onto the painted surface. Apply a developer and the image would appear. Does this process exist and if so where can I get info.

I think there are two realistic possibilities you can look into. If all you need is black and white (no grays as well as no colors), then photoresist may be what you are looking for. This is used for the printed wiring patterns on printed circuit boards. They cover the board with the resist, expose it, develop it, and wash away the exposed or unexposed area (depending on use of positive or negative photoresist).

The second possibility is dye sublimation. This would give you colors, but you would need an intermediate process to go from your projected image to a print out with dye sublimatable inks which could be absorbed onto the painted surface.

But if you are looking for "color photograph film" supplied as a simple paint, that's probably unrealistic.
