Fluorescent paints behave differently from ordinary acrylics – the pigment is semi-transparent to keep its brilliance, so it dies over a dark base. The maker therefore recommends applying them over white paint or white primer; that is when you get the neon effect people buy them for. Six shades cover the spectrum from yellow to blue, including two oranges of different intensity.

What to combine it with
Use white primer as a base – for example from AK Primers. Support the saturation with dark surroundings; the same scenes pair well with Intense Colors Set. For glossy screens, a varnish from Varnishes and glues works well.
FAQ
Why is my neon not glowing?
Almost always the base. The fluorescent resin is semi-transparent – over black or grey it disappears. Lay two coats of white first, then the neon.
Do they glow in the dark?
No. Fluorescent pigments reflect light intensely, especially UV, but they are not phosphorescent – they do not emit in darkness. Separate glow ranges exist for that.
Can the paints be bought individually?
Yes. These are standard shades from the AK 3rd Generation range in 17 ml bottles, so when one runs out you only replace that one.
Can they be airbrushed?
Yes. Thinned with 3rd Generation thinner they pass through a 0.2 mm nozzle as easily as lacquer paints. Neat, they are meant for brushwork.
More paint sets are in the AK 3rd Generation Paint Sets category, and individual shades in AK 3rd Generation.
