Q? regarding fluoro paints

Hi all

I have managed to get my hands on the fluoro paint range from Mr Color (finally). I was curious to know a couple of things:

*are these paints more suitable for brush or spay painting? If they have to be airbrushed, are they ready to go or do they need to be thinned further & if so, with what?
*does a base need to be put down to maximise the fluoro effect, kind of like spraying gloss black before Alclad paints?

TIA guys

Better to airbrush it than brush paint it. Much better.

Always thin with whatever the manufacturer recommends. In this case, Mr Color Thinner. Personally, I wouldn't even consider trying to spray it straight without thinning. I use a lot of thinner when spraying lacquers- it tends to behave best this way.

It is best sprayed on a flat white primer. The very best in this case would probably be Mr Surfacer white. Which also gets thinned with Mr Color Thinner.

I can agree with MPWR 100%. Airbrush is the way to go. Best sprayed over a matt white primer or a matt white base coat paint, such as Zero Pure White. Thin them either 1:1 or 1:2 with Mr Color leveling thinner, although bear in mind that if you go 1:2 it will take more coats for even coverage. They dry with a satin finish so will need clear coating for a top shine, but they are very easy to use, you'll have no problems with them at all, they spray beautifully..
