Corsair Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Okay folks, has anyone here made this up before? The brilliant safety/hazard yellow with the green tint? If so, where did you start, by using a bit of bright green or blue to the mix? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanael Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Vallejo makes some nice florescents; that's where I'd start. Barring that, Reaper's old Moth Green is now available again (the whole "old favorites I" triad is amazing, btw), and I think you could probably get what you need with some of that plus a bright, cold yellow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sundseth Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 The really bright stuff is generally fluorescent, but note that fluorescents are not lightfast: From the Golden website: Quote Fluorescent Colors are not lightfast. For permanency, a topcoat of GOLDEN MSA Varnish with UVLS (UltraViolet Light Stabilizers) is recommended, although varnish and top coats will eliminate the fluorescent "glow" under black light. From a response from Createx Customer service: Quote The answer is “it depends” although it is more closer to a 10 year process; definitely not anything noticeable in a few months unless it was a plane flow at high altitude during the day. We’ve a large artwork hanging ion our office lobby which receives some sun light. It was made with fluorescents over 10 years ago and has not faded, at least nothing noticeable. Your plane should be fine. One great technique which will maximize your plane’s fluorescent finish is to color-key the base with a similar color so any color loss will not be notice. If you're not wedded to the idea of fluorescent paints, you can get very bright yellows by shading up to a bright single-pigment yellow like Cadmium Yellow Light or Hansa Yellow Opaque. Note that the shading is important here (Reaper Palomino Gold is a decent choice for a base color, as is artists' Yellow Ochre); the shadows will make the highlights look much brighter. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocPiske Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Maggot white glazed with clear yellow might be a place to start. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroneko Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Reapers Clear Yellow 9095 is as pure a yellow as I've tried. I've used it over a white baseboard to get bright yellow on superhero miniatures and it looks pretty day-glo to me.

Members SamuraiJack Posted January 25, 2020 Members Share Posted January 25, 2020 I'd actually avoid Vallejo Fluorescents.. You want to use Golden High Flow, scale 75 or Warcolour.. I prefer high flow because they go on like glazes 9287 Neon Yellow has a slight green tint to it, but it's very slight.. Per Jessica Rich, i think, from my Reapercon glazing class, neon yellow thins better than clear yellow. might make a good glaze over the following: Vallejo 70954 yellow green Vallejo 72033 Livery Green 9294 Alien Goo 9415 Dungeon Slime (It's way brighter than this swatch) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Thank you all! The problem is I need it to paint the face and hands of one 28mm mini! I am trying to avoid buying a paint just for that small an area! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroneko Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 What yellows do you have, @Corsair? You might be able to mix in some white and green to get a comparable colour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiwo Xerase Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Start with 09009 Lemon Yellow or 09303 NMM Gold Highlight, glaze 09287 Neon Yellow on top of it? Or maybe try mixing? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Thanks for the idea on adding white! I was locked in on adding a green or blue, and never considered a lightening agent! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SamuraiJack Posted January 25, 2020 Members Share Posted January 25, 2020 You can paint the base yellow, highlight with white, then go over the white with a bright yellow to brighten it further 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
