Fluorescent Yellow Paint

Transform the aesthetics of your models and miniatures with a high-visibility fluorescent yellow

Superior chromatic intensity and UV reactive properties

Take the lighting of your pieces to the next level using one of the most advanced fluorescent formulas in the industry. The range of opaque acrylic paints from Green Stuff World provides vibrant coverage that breaks away from the sobriety of traditional colours. The fluorescent yellow tone is perfect for simulating energy flashes, optics of modern vehicles, warning signs in urban dioramas, or high-visibility decorations for a slot car competing in night endurance circuits. As a UV or black light reactive paint, your work will take on a whole new dimension in prepared display cases or under special lighting conditions, ensuring that each piece stands out with its own light in any exhibition or collecting championship.

Clean technical application with brush or airbrush

The acrylic formulation of this product stands out for its fluidity and homogeneity, greatly facilitating work on previously primed plastic, metal, or resin surfaces. When applied with a brush, it allows for clean profiles, glazes, and focused lighting effects thanks to its excellent adhesion. If opting for airbrush use, the pigment is evenly distributed without clogging fine nozzles, ideal for covering large surfaces or achieving smooth colour transitions on bodies and terrains. Being a non-toxic composition, it ensures a safe user experience in the workshop. The packaging includes a convenient dispenser to make the most of the product drop by drop, remembering that it is necessary to remove the protective seal that may be on the bottle before starting to paint.

Green Stuff World's Fluor Yellow acrylic paint delivers unmatched brightness and opacity, reaching its maximum brilliance when applied over a solid white base. Formulated for high-end scale models, figures, and custom projects, this fluorescent yellow pigment reacts intensely under ultraviolet and black light, creating spectacular energy effects for hobbyists. Suitable for both brush and airbrush work, this non-toxic 17 ml bottle provides excellent flow and durability on your custom slot car bodies or complex diorama scenes.

Usage tips

The fluorescent range from Green Stuff World requires dilution for use with an airbrush, especially if working with a 0.3 mm needle.

Although they come out of the bottle with an apparently fluid consistency, fluorescent paints have a very particular pigment load and a resin that tends to dry quickly at the needle tip (tip dry), which will cause constant clogging in a 0.3 mm passage if applied directly.

To achieve the best performance and avoid frustration with clogs, keep the following application guidelines in mind:

1. The dilution ratio

The general rule for this range in airbrush is to seek a texture similar to skimmed milk.

• Recommended ratio: Approximately 1:1 or 60% paint and 40% thinner.

• The ideal thinner: Use a specific acrylic thinner (Thinner). Avoid excessive dilution with water, as water breaks the cohesion of the fluorescent pigment with the resin, causing the paint to "spit", create maps, or lose light intensity.

• The key trick: Always add 1 or 2 drops of flow improver (Flow Improver) directly into the cup. This will delay drying at the 0.3 mm needle and maintain a constant flow.

2. Surface preparation (Mandatory)

Fluorescent paints are inherently translucent; they have no opacity on their own.

• Pure white base: You must apply them over a matte white base. If applied over grey, black, or bare plastic, the colour will completely dull and lose the fluorescent effect.

• If you want to create transitions or dynamic lights, first do a pre-shading in black and white (light sketch) and ensure that the areas of maximum brightness have a flawless white before applying the fluorescent paint.

3. Pressure and application

• Work at a medium-low pressure, between 1.5 and 1.8 bar (approximately 22-26 PSI).

• Apply very thin and successive layers, allowing a few seconds to dry between passes. It is preferable to apply three thin transparent layers than to try to cover in one go, as if you exceed the trigger, the paint will accumulate moisture and slide over the white base.

Protection note: The fluorescent pigment is somewhat more fragile once dry. When finished and the paint is well set, it is highly recommended to apply a layer of varnish (satin or gloss) to protect the finish and properly fix the colour intensity.
