Montana Gold FLUORESCENT Colour Cans - 400ml

The Montana GOLD FLUORESCENT colours are a high quality spray paint line with 8 dynamic fluorescent colours. The unique NC-Acrylic formula is quick-drying and well-covering.

These colours glow when exposed to UV light, perfect for adding a unique glow to venues. For the best results, apply to pre-primed, dry white surfaces (such as those painted with the Montana GOLD Shock White) to increase luminosity and improve coverage. Applying Montana GOLD clear coats when completely dry will offer greater UV protection, however, may hinder the radiant fluorescent effect slightly.

Fluorescent Colours can be applied to many surfaces, such as canvas, wood, concrete, metal, glass, and even flexible surfaces, regardless of if you are a professional, artistic, hobbyist, or DIY spray paint user.

Montana GOLD Fluorescent Colours can also be used in conjunction with the Montana TECH and EFFECT range of products. Due to their synthetic non-natural orientations, fluorescent colours in general do not have the same opacity, light fastness, and longevity as normal high-pigmented colours.

Please Note: These items cannot be shipped by Royal Mail or outside the UK mainland.

Please Note: These cans are not abrasion-proof like other Montana GOLD colour shades. Shake Well!
