Pigment Fluor Orange

Pigment Fluor Orange - a fluorescent pigment from AMMO of Mig Jimenez

Pigment Fluor Orange is a loose pigment from the fluorescent range of the Spanish brand AMMO of Mig Jimenez. It is not a paint in a bottle and not a muted weathering shade for ordinary patina, but a very fine powder in a glowing orange that is used wherever an area is meant to stand out. Fluorescent shades look rich even in daylight, and under ultraviolet light their glow grows further. Signal orange is among the most frequently used colors on real equipment, from practice targets to the conspicuous bands on gliders and training aircraft.

Where it is useful

• On the signal bands and areas of training and rescue aircraft, where the machine is meant to be clearly visible.
• On the warning elements of ground equipment, handling trolleys and airfield equipment.
• On modern civilian schemes and custom finishes of car and motorcycle models.
• It is applied dry with a soft brush and built up in thin layers until the shade is right.
• It shows best on a flat, light base; on a dark area its strength is markedly lower.

Who it is for

The shade will be appreciated by builders of modern aircraft and ground equipment, by modelers of civilian vehicles and by anyone looking for a strong signal color that cannot be missed. The pigment is fine enough to be dosed over genuinely small areas, so it serves on tiny elements too, where a brush with paint would be too coarse. The shade is rich and unambiguous, so even a small area on a model reliably draws the eye.

Safety and handling: this is a very fine powder. Work in a well-ventilated room, do not inhale the powder and open the container carefully so that the pigment does not scatter around. Store it closed, dry and out of the reach of children. Try the shade and the strength of the application on a test piece before working on a finished model.
