FAQs
What is the best way to apply this paint?
Both brush and airbrush methods work well. However, for maximum brightness and even coverage, apply the paint in thin, even coats, building up the color gradually.
Do I need a primer?
Yes, priming your model is recommended. Use a primer suitable for the material of your model. White or light-colored primers will help the fluorescent paint achieve its brightest effect.
Can I mix this paint with other paints?
While you can technically mix it, it's generally not recommended as it can diminish the fluorescent properties. If you must mix, do so sparingly with other acrylic paints.
How do I clean my airbrush after using this paint?
Use an airbrush cleaner specifically designed for acrylic paints. Disassemble your airbrush and thoroughly clean all parts.
Is this paint safe for children?
The paint is non-toxic, but as with all hobby materials, adult supervision is recommended. Keep out of reach of young children.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Drying time depends on the thickness of the coat and environmental conditions. Generally, it will be touch-dry within 30 minutes to an hour. Allow at least 24 hours for full curing.
Can I use a varnish over this paint?
Yes, you can use a varnish to protect your painted miniatures. Use a varnish compatible with acrylic paints, and test it on a small area first to ensure it doesn't affect the color.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears dull or not fluorescent.
Ensure a white base coat was used. Apply multiple thin coats of the fluor paint.
Paint is clumping or drying too quickly.
Thin the paint appropriately for your application method (brush or airbrush). If using an airbrush, ensure your air pressure is correct.
