Learn How to Apply the Fluorescent Spray Paint

DISCOVER THE FLUORESCENT SPRAY PAINT 

Fluorescent spray paint has had a place on the MTN color charts practically since the first time the range was expanded. These striking shades of color are now available in the MTN PRO catalog in three highly luminous colors: fluorescent green, fluorescent red and fluorescent yellow. The pigment of the paint also reacts to black or ultraviolet light, making it appear to shine when exposed to this type of lighting in dark places.
 

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF FLUORESCENT SPRAY PAINT

This fluorescent spray consists of an acrylic base that dries completely in a short period of time. It’s also resistant to subzero temperatures and doesn’t contain poisonous metals like lead. Its aerosol format guarantees great ease of application and allows for use on all types of surfaces and materials – whatever the size – and can even be sprayed onto wet surfaces. This fluorescent paint is solvent sensitive, so it can be easily removed with acetone. 

This type of paint has limited resistance to UV rays, so we recommend varnishing it for use on surfaces that are exposed to the sun. 

Read on to find out our recommendations to get the most out of this fluor spray.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USING THE FLUORESCENT SPRAY

When using this spray paint, follow the same steps as with most other aerosols: shake vigorously for a minute and spray from a distance of about 20 cm, applying thin layers to avoid drips and paint build-up. It’s always better to apply many thin layers rather than one thick one to get an even finish and optimize the coverage of the paint. Don’t forget to clean the nozzle after use by spraying the product for several seconds whilst holding the can upside down until paint stops coming out.

To make the most out of this paint, it’s best to apply a base coat of the MTN PRO White Base Primer. As well as covering any pores on the surface, it will maximize the fluorescent effect and provide a homogeneous finish. To increase the resistance of the paint, we recommend varnishing the painted surface with the MTN PRO Acrylic Varnish.

The day-glow fluorescent color is vital as a tool for signage and visibility. Any item of everyday use can be decorated in these striking colors, from bikes to electric guitars, or become more visible, like a motorcycle helmet.
