Matt888 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I'm looking for a fluorescent orange spray paint, to paint a clear body shell, where's the best place to find some? My local model shop isn't that good so I'm going to have to order online, any tips or links? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Just remember bright flouro colours need backing with either white or silver to make the colour more solid and pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Yup. Although with silver you have to be careful, metal flakes can bleed through. White is easier and will give the brighter finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4inbrain Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Well it's obviously up to you. Personally i'd use white, but in the end it depends on what you want the car to look like, and if it's a basher or a shelve shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
