Fluorescent colours case 5x60ml

Five Premium Colour Fluorescent Acrylics from Acrylicos Vallejo to Bring Life and Character to Your Painting Projects

The VA62102 set brings together five of the most vibrant fluorescent acrylics from the Premium Colour range of Acrylicos Vallejo, in a practical 60 ml format that is particularly cost-effective when working on large pieces. If you are looking for neon colour tracks, bodies that stand out under any lighting, or high visual impact effects, this pack is the starting point.

Contents of the Set

The set includes the following references in 60 ml (2.02 fl oz) bottles with flip-top caps:

• 62.031 – Fluorescent Yellow
• 62.036 – Fluorescent Magenta
• 62.037 – Fluorescent Violet
• 62.038 – Fluorescent Blue
• 62.039 – Fluorescent Green

Five primary and secondary shades that cover the most common fluorescent spectrum in modelling, slot, and dioramas, which can also be mixed together to obtain new hues without losing the luminous effect.

Applications

The versatility of these fluorescent acrylics makes them useful in very different disciplines:

• Slot Car Bodies: ideal for replicas of competition cars with eye-catching decorations or for customised parts that you want to identify at a glance on the track.
• Static Models: signage, safety details, driver clothing, emergency vehicles, or diorama elements that require high visibility.
• Figures and Dioramas: artificial light effects, ambient neon, or fantasy painting techniques where immediate chromatic impact is sought.

Compatibility

The Premium Colour line from Vallejo is formulated to adhere to polycarbonate, ABS plastic, metal, and resin, common surfaces in modelling and slot. The water-based formula makes it compatible with other acrylic paints from the same range, facilitating mixing and layering without the need for special thinners in most applications.

Finishes and Fluorescent Effect

The finish of these colours is satin-matt by default; the fluorescence reacts with ultraviolet light, intensifying the tone under black light conditions. To make the most of the luminous effect, it is recommended to apply over a white primer base or, even better, over a solid white background: the fewer dark layers underneath, the more vibrant the fluorescent pigment will appear on the surface.

Application Tips

• Airbrush: dilute with distilled water or with Vallejo's Premium Colour thinner until the desired viscosity is achieved. Working pressures between 15 and 20 psi usually yield good results for even layers.
• Brush: apply thin layers and allow to dry between each one. Fluorescents are inherently more transparent than opaque colours, so they may require 2-3 passes over a white base to reach their maximum potency.
• Flip-top Cap: the 60 ml format with this closure system facilitates direct dosing and reduces evaporation when working in long sessions.
• Finish Varnish: if you want to protect the piece, use a water-compatible acrylic varnish; solvent-based varnishes can alter the fluorescent tone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these colours work on any surface without prior priming?

They can be applied directly to plastic and metal, although a layer of primer significantly improves adhesion and the final vibrancy of the colour, especially in the case of fluorescents, which are more transparent than conventional opaque pigments.

Are they suitable for airbrush or only for brush?

They are perfectly suitable for airbrush. Just dilute them slightly with distilled water or with the thinner from the Premium Colour line of Vallejo to adjust the viscosity to your equipment.

Can the five colours in the set be mixed together?

Yes. Since they all belong to the same range and formulation, they mix without issues. This allows for the creation of oranges, neon reds, or other transitions without losing the fluorescent character of the result.

Does the fluorescent effect remain after applying a finish varnish?

Generally yes, as long as the varnish is water-based and compatible with acrylics. Solvent-based varnishes can yellow or dull the fluorescent pigment, so it is advisable to test on a sacrificial piece before applying them to the finished work.

Why the 60 ml format and not the usual 17 ml in Vallejo?

The 60 ml format is designed for projects where large surfaces need to be covered — large scale bodies, extensive dioramas, or series productions — or simply for those who frequently use these colours and prefer a more durable supply without interruptions.
