Fluo paint for RC and lexan models - 8 Colors HIKARI R/C

Fluorescent paints for RC models are composed of special pigments that give them their exceptionally bright colors.

FLUO colors for Lexan

These colors produce an intensity superior to all other paints : they emit more light than they receive through the phenomenon of fluorescence.

These flashy colors are declined in a series of 8 colors for the radio controlled devices.

Adhesion on Lexan

The special formula of the fluorescent RC paint guarantees a perfect adhesion on Lexan®. The paint is specifically adapted to adhere to this type of plastic.

Flexibility

The Hikari RC FLUO paint also allows an excellent flexibility, to avoid any risk of delamination during the use of radio-controlled devices on the circuits. The painted fairings are subjected to extreme conditions (stones, gravel, scratches, shocks, heat...)

Semi-opaque fluorescent colors

The particularity of fluorescent paints comes from their pigments. These pigments have a low opacity and are called « semi-transparent » colors :

It is imperative to cover them from the back with a coat of opaque white (See HIKARI RC opaque paints)

Characteristics and use

HIKARI RC FLUO paints are ready to use
for airbrushes with 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm nozzles and spray guns
Thinning is not necessary
Application in 3 to 5 coats, to obtain the maximum color.

Support :

the fluorescent paint can be applied directly on Lexan® or after the transparent primer for Lexan
It is recommended to degrease well the background (with our HRC104 degreaser), and to sand with a grey abrasive sponge.
The white coat, to create the opaque background, must necessarily be applied quickly (15-60min) after the fluorescent paint, to benefit from the "wet-on-wet" adhesion effect
