Luminous Yellow Real Heavy Metal Set

The set

The item belongs to the IONIC range and, within it, to the Real Heavy Metal subrange. It is a paint set, so you are not buying one bottle but a package built around the shade the set is named after. The exact contents of the package, that is the number of pots and their volume, are given by the manufacturer on the packaging.

The Luminous Yellow Shade

The name points to a bright, luminous yellow. Yellow of this kind suits surfaces that are meant to read as a source of light or heat: forges and flames, energy weapons and displays in science-fiction builds, warning stripes on vehicles, or signs and markings. Yellow is at the same time the worst covering family of shades, so lay it over a light base; over a dark area you would have to lay down so much of it that it would lose its spark.

How to work with the paint

Stir the pot thoroughly before work. The thinner meant for this range and the thinning ratio are in the manufacturer's instructions; a thinner from another range can curdle the paint into flakes. Work in thin coats and let the area dry in between, or the strokes will spread and the edges will bleed. Before you touch the model, try the shade on a piece of scrap plastic, so that you know how it covers on your base. Flush the brush right after work; dried paint at the root of the bristles will never come out.
