Great test! Can really see the difference between brands! Thanks again for sharing!
Awesome 👌. They all look wonderful, I dont think you could go wrong with any of them.
Thanks for these great videos, I've revived my modeling hobby and you have offered me some great advice, especially all the $ tree ideas. Looking forward to your next presentation!!
Your reviews are over the top and priceless. I’m slowly easing back into the hobby and have not airbrushed in over 20 years. I am so grateful for all you do!
Thank you my friend 👍
Your painting review videos are awesome
Dude, your painting review videos are awesome. I've been thinking about using some fluorescent paints in a RG Sword Impulse (for the swords edge) and this video is very timely!
Great review as always! Thanks for sharing!
Great review, thanks for taking the time to create.
Your fans should be ducted in parallel out of your booth, you will get a bigger benefit. If you got a second weed fan just put 2x flanges on the top of the box at the back of the filter and shift air though the whole open area behind the filter. You'd get much better air flow and a less windowed effect in the middle of the filter.
Wow, all those bright colors about burned out my monitor! Really nice review - I didn't think the fluorescent market was that well served. I like the "drop of paint on the cap" - I have been doing that for years because the bottles don't show well in my paint rack. It also shows how the paint will look when dry.
That craft paint turned out really nice, thanks much for the video and your reviews of all these paint lines .
Yeah, I was shocked how nice it went on. I thought it would give me trouble but it didn't
@@barbatosrex9473 one of my favorite miniatures painter's went through a 75mm sculpture test run with craft paint a week or two ago and his results were spectacular (it even surprised him) (Ninjon), again thanks so much for running such a time consuming control test for all of us hobbyist.
Great to see the SMS range which is generally available here in Australia. I’ve used it a few times and have found a low air pressure around 15 psi seems to work well. Very smooth and even coverage with their premium range.
I'm super impressed with they're paints. I bought most of my store had in stock but I'm having trouble getting basic colors like black
This will be helpful, I was just looking at the different brands of fluorescent paints yesterday and didn't buy any because I was unsure of what to get
Very cool review! I just got a bunch of Revell acrylic and enamels. Love their paints. Use mostly for small detail work on my cars. The enamels dry very fast and hard. Thanks!
These fluorescents were my first test of them as they came in that day. And they are awesome for sure. A full test is coming very aoon
Great vid on the colors!!! 👍🤜🤛😉
Great Videos.
I totally wish I came across this video 1 week ago before I purchased this paint booth.
I could have saved that money to buy the Swallowtail I've been drooling over 😂
The gaia look awesome on UV light 🤘🏼
Just ordered some sms fluro red and blue for my mario 64 model that I resin 3d printed. After seeing how intense that pink is, I hope the red and blue are the same. I live in Australia so I’m glad I have access to these paints easily.
The AK paints with the Blackest paint would be a great combination
Love the channel man!
Thanks buddy 👍
Fantastic video! I would've liked to see them under a blacklight too...might help in deciding how good the "glow" is.
I love seeing the tests! It helps me decide what to buy and what not to buy. Any company that is confident in their product should send you paints to sample so we can see the results...I think it'll help sell their product.
I hope you are able to get some revenue from youtube to help fund the tests...this is truly a channel to help the community. If you end up starting a patreon or something of the sort to help fund the tests, I'd be on board.
In the future I think it'd be cool to see a "clear coat" test. Like the best clear for Tamiya type paint, best for vallejo type acrylic, etc.
Thanks for all you do!
A black light has been ordered and once I get it I'll test these under for a video soon 👍 also I'm in the planning stages of a clear coat video test
@@barbatosrex9473 that's awesome to hear! Can't wait for the next video!
That Gaia green would be nice on gundam eyes but those testers look fantastic
I would love to talk to you about neons colors. I know so much about them like they always need a white base coat. They always dry flat and they need a gloss coat. The yellowish green color is called neon chartreuse.
nice setup!
Thank you 👍
Wonderful review/ Doc BC
4:00 thanks a lot for this sole tip 😅
I really wish the Culture Hustle White 2.0 would hurry up release. I beta tested it last year and it was phenomenal as a base coat for florescent paint.
I never use fluorescent paint since I do military models, but I'm going to watch anyway since you do such a great job of reviewing. I'm glad to see you got the Revell paints in. I heard good things about their metallics, so I would like to see if your opinion is the same.
I grabbed around 40 different colors. Review coming soon but early test ares showing me the are great
Another great test, I have learned so much from your videos! How did you get the spray booth you constructed from foam poster board to stay together, any additional information on how it was constructed would be helpful.
Wow, I’ve never see that Barnaby Brooks kit before, I’ve never even heard of that series. Nice booth sir
That's from Tiger & Bunny. Great anime. I think it's on Netflix now
@@barbatosrex9473 I see, I’ll check it out
The Gaia colors looked great in candy
Thank you for the video. Very informative and I know it took a lot of work to put together. Any chance of showing what these fluorescents look like under a uv light? Thanks!
Go to my channel and go to the Community section. Then scroll down to find the pictures I posted of them under a black light
Zup Barbetos, I went to the website and saw the they were “out of stock” and bought the next one with the metal frame, it’s all good, works great, thanks for the suggestion...the only thing is that it is super difficult to read the psi gage, and I’m not sure if I can tie it more or lose it so it can be in a better position, anyways thanks again for the video, the kit looks great btw.
Good luck with the compressor, they're awesome. I leave my PSI on 20 most of the time and then slightly go up or down when needed. Let me know how your airbrushing goes with it 👍
Fluo Paint... Try golden high flow or warcolours... Crazy pigmented!
no UV light? I would love to see which of these actually glow, can you do a vid?
You can make the uv light test for this paints?
Do paint companies send you samples, or do you buy all these? All these tests have to be crazy expensive. Either way, I enjoy them very much, so thank you for doing them!
I buy them myself. I ask many companies to send me samples but only a handful have. I only work part time but this is where my spending money goes. It helps that UA-cam started paying me for my vids so I can continue getting more supplies for testing
Tamiya also has Fluorescent Pink, Fluorescent Green, and Fluorescent Yellow. I really need to find some nice translucent blue paints for windshields.
I can't find Tamiya Fluorescents in jars here which means they must be enamels or lacquers as we don't have either for sale here in the US unfortunately
thanks for the review, i would like to see the UV Light picture but for some reason the community section on your channel only goes back to 1 year ago, so i cant find the UV Light picture for these fluorescent colors sadly
Hi I been seeing your review on paint, can you tell me what airbrush paint is good for rubber and don’t stay sticky and thank you
Do all of them need a white base? Would they work on black?
What did you use to thin the Testors?
Top notch review as usual thanks for sharing. I am still as lost looking for a bright fluorescent green lol. The Vallejo Mecha seem nice although I am still on the hunt. Any suggestions on the brightest green possible would be great? I am looking to do some plastic parts of a motorcycle helmet the brightest, most obnoxious green I can find (You know how the drivers are around here they probably still won't see me). Will a clear coat dull the colors brightness?
Have seen my latest video on my own paint line? I show off a Neon Green that's absolutely beautiful, along with other neon colors. Check it out. Go to my channel and check the latest video. It's my Mecha Empire paint line
@@barbatosrex9473 yes I have. I need brighter lol
@@insane18700 it's super bright in person. It's tough to see on camera. You're going to have to test each brand to find what's best for you. Says the guy who has every brand on his shelf 😉
Any alternatives for clear fluorescent paint? Gaias are way too hard to find :(
hello, i think you are doing a great job of information of different types of paint and air brushing for a lot of people , the ones that are just starting airbrushing i feel they can't afford these expensive paint from other countries that you talk about and turns them to cheeper paints that is found locally but no one can or don't understand this problem and skips it entirely there for makes it harder for beginners
i went to hobby lobby the other day and i got some fluorescent paints 6/$9.00 in 4oz bottles good deal i thought there brand is tempera paints when i got home there wasn't any thing saying oil or water base paints i looked to see if you did a video with this brand and i couldn't find it so i as you if you did one or are going to?
you should do some tests on paints sold in the usa and under oh $5.00/each so the beginners/newbies can aford to start the hobby
Not sure if you've seen them but I've done a couple videos on cheap Craft store paints
What is the brightest spray paint you've used? Going to use it for fishing bobbers, I cast really far and it's so hard to see my bobber. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks great video.
Rust-Oleum and Krylon have great fluorescent spray paints that are good for outdoor use. Very bright too. Lowes and Home Depot have them
Kind of disappointed you didn't show what it looked like under a blacklight. You could probably achieve some pretty cool affects with the clear florescent and a black light
Great video and demonstration on the florescent paints. Even though I build cars and trucks I watched your video. I may be blind but I do not see any need for them. I see them for gaming models, etc. Is this true?
They have many uses but gaming is definitely one of them. Also I'm going to use some for a Gunpla kit that I want to highlight
Wow a a dollar 90 for the testors now I know this was two years ago but the prices have really jumped up on those they are like $4 for those little jars now
He Barbatos. Email (ger.) = Enamel (engl.). Since Revell is from germany the naming is primary german. For example on the caps you can read "Klar" wich ich clear.
I immediately looked for MRP here in Germany. But boy they are a bit more expensive. I do like to compare the price per volume (20€/100ml).
I've not decided which paint lineup to choose for starting airbrush again. Molotow all4one and Vallejo are currently my top pics.
Haha i have same brand “cannabis” exhaust fan. Though i feel just one is a little weak so maybe i’ll double up too
Which thinner did you use with ak? I tried some Vallejo airbrush thinner and they didn't react well with each other.
Only use Vallejo with Vallejo. That's the rule to go by. I used the actual AK Acrylic thinner but I've also used Ultimate Airbrush Thinner. I will be testing soon an acrylic thinner and flow improver that's universal across the board so look out for that
How do they look under a blacklight?
Yeah, that is the whole point of fluorescent. That is why the clear ones like the Gaianotes are where it's at - over the clear beam effect parts.
yeah...i wonder how they look under uv light
I’ve been testing liquitex basics paint with and without medium on small sections of lexan plastic for rc bodies. Testing both unprepared plastic surface and prepped with 3000 grit. Sticks well unprepared and even better after 3000 grit. Before I commit on a bigger level, have to ever used liquitex basics on any plastic surfaces?
Trust me I have a HUGE collection of allll Createx and wicked colors and solvents. I’m just expanding my opportunities.
It works great. Have you seen my video on using artist tube paints for scale models?
@@barbatosrex9473 …. Oh I have not, maybe you could post that vid link here I’d appreciate it😁.,
So it’s the same way the typical rc body gets done.. but because liquitex basics has higher viscosity, I’ll get faster coverage with the brush and save time on doing the graphics. The gloss black will help hold everything down at the end but I want to know just how we’ll Liquitex basics works on clear Lexan rc bodies before doing this project.

Hi what gundam F1 themed figure is it you show in video as interested in buying one (never built one) they look so cool, thanks in advance
That's a HG M1 Astray. It comes white, red and black. I did my custom paint scheme based on the Brawn F1 car. Do a search of that car and you'll see my inspiration. I even made my own custom water slide decals to match the car. It's a pearl white with MRP Luminous Yellow paint for the trim.
@@barbatosrex9473 fantastic paint job you done I love it, I just ordered one think I might do a custom paint on mine not sure scheme yet though as it's my first but really like the models, awsum videos btw as getting back in to modelling and painting :)
@@Daemonforce-Gaming it's a great kit for customizing. Just look for an inspiration. I like many race car colors and use that on many kits.
@@barbatosrex9473 awsum thank you :)
Vallejo got Fluorescent Blue in their Premium Colors line.
Isn't that the paint line up for polycarbonate R/C car bodies
@@barbatosrex9473 I believe so! I customize die cast cars, and I have used several brands. My local store guys showed me that Premium Line, saying it would look great on cars, but they didn’t mention if they were made specifically for RC models. Like all Vallejo, they take a bit to get used to but they look great once you learn to work with them. I have a “Candy Racing Green” that looks just awesome over metallic and chromed parts.
When will you test out future floor polish? Would love to see your opinions on it. Btw can I use 3oz paint and 1oz thinner ratio for 3:1
Omg, Future floor polish is my "go-to " for a miniatures sealant (cut 50/50 with water)
Yes, 3oz to 1oz mix ratio is a 3 to 1 ratio. You're good to go. I will plan on a Floor Polish video as I do use it on occasion. It's called Pledge Floor Gloss where I'm located.
@@barbatosrex9473 I'm going to adjust my measurements now ,thanks
@@barbatosrex9473 oh it's called pledge in california too but I call it future bc sounds more familiar to me for some reason
i hope you also use black light so we can see the glow
I did in the community section on my channel 👍
Sorry if I missed it, but did you not test them under UV light?
I did show them under black light in my community section of my channel. It's what inspired me to make my Neon Panel Liners
I believe "neon" is just pigment but "fluorescent" reacts to black light and "luminescent" will glow in the dark (and react to black light). Do any of the paints react to black light or glow in the dark?
I ordered a black light for testing. I'll be putting it to the test with these soon in a video
Why?? why test Model Masters when there discontinued !! It hurts, I LOVED MM !!! well Thanks all you do, I love your tests.
Check out my personal paint line Mecha Empire, they're enamels just like Model Master and I have Neon colors that are awesome looking
Should try those under a black light to see if they really neon/flur
I did right after this video in the community section on my channel
I'm try finding it, thanks
So is the cannabis fan you use have brushless motors.
Yes
Any plans to look at the Wicked Colors Fluorescent Colors paints?
I was buying some when I did my Wicked Colors test but they actually say they don't last long and that they fade away over a short period of time so I strayed away from them. I might revisit them but I would hate to recommend a product that someone paints their Gundam with only to have it fade away in a year so I am torn
@@barbatosrex9473 Ah yeah, I remember seeing that mentioned and I wound up avoiding them too (but I am trying out some of their opaque line the next couple of times I fire up my airbrush, at least for terrain). Thanks for reminding me of such.
I want to see them under blacklight
I showed them under black light in my community section on my channel page
Wow need a "TRIGGERED" warning,my eyes, lol. Amazing depth in review . I don't know if you covered this but can these paints be clear coated?(whether matte,satin or gloss)
Thank you for teaching us! It's very much appreciated
I will test the clear coat soon plus a black light test in an upcoming video within a week
@@barbatosrex9473 would it be feasible to try a candy affect with these fluorescent paints as a base?
@@tomdelaney19464 a great idea 😀 I will try that for sure, stay tuned
Will they glow under a black light?
Yes, I black light tested them. Check out the community section on my channel for pictures
U need uv light to be able to see the magic
I did get one. Posted pics in my community section on my channel. Check them out
Couldn't you technically get a clear gloss to add and make them close to the tamiya fluorescents?
Does red color glow in dark ?
It glows under a black light
@@barbatosrex9473 But right after light source was used fluoroscent should glow some time in dark even without black light,
No, your thinking of glow in the dark. These are just fluorescent, they need the black light on them to glow. Check out my Neon Panel Liners video for a demo
@@barbatosrex9473 ua-cam.com/video/WnWIt0iz00A/v-deo.html
What do you do to be able to afford the investment in paints like that? There has to be $250 in paint on the table alone, just for a test.
I have very few bills and the little bit of money made here on the channel I just put it back into products for testing. I purchase my paints in blocks meaning I'll buy 20 bottles at a time. Some I've had sent to me also.
I do really like your channel and you have great content and will continue watching.
However. These are paints that glow under UV light. You never even mention UV light or even that there is UV light emitted from our light sources. Different UV paints can differ widely under UV. Some do glow. Some will not. Some can be amazing and the color we see can change. WTF, why did you not include this important information? Your review of these paints is equivalent of reviewing music only listening to a tiny phone speaker. Thorough review? No.
Keep up the good work. Your channel is important to me. Thank you.
I showed them under a black light in the community section on my channel
Thinning with Windshield washer fluid is NOTa tip I've seen before, I am only 7-8 months into painting miniatures, but have used dozens of "old school " tricks from other creators.
Check out my video on spraying craft paint. I show the washer fluid there ua-cam.com/video/RKkq1e1wLE0/v-deo.html
Is there any particular ratio of thinner you used on that gaia paint? Love the vid.
