Advantages

The ultra-filtered vibrant pigment offers consistent coverage and reliable color intensity for both base coats and highlights. Its water-based formula cleans up with water, reduces odor compared with solvent-based alternatives, and is suitable for hobbyists who need bright fluorescent tones. Being part of a triad colour system, the paint matches complementary base and highlight shades for easier shading workflows.

How to use

Shake the bottle vigorously to engage the mixing balls and ensure even pigment distribution before use. For airbrushing, the paint is pre-thinned and can commonly be used directly in most airbrush setups; test on a scrap surface first and adjust pressure as needed. For brushwork, apply thin layers to build up opacity and allow each layer to dry between coats. Clean brushes and airbrush components with water immediately after use to prevent drying in the nozzle or bristles.

Usage recommendations

Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use in a well-ventilated area and apply thin, multiple coats for best fluorescent intensity. When combining with other paint ranges, test compatibility first; for consistent results, follow the Triad System pairing where available.
