Review: MTN 94 Fluorescent and Transparent Colors

It's springtime, making it the perfect moment for a review of MTN94 Fluorescent spray paint and MTN94 Transparent colors! These special product lines from Montana Colors are designed for specific applications, requiring careful consideration when working with them. This review aims to provide insights into their characteristics, application possibilities, as well as their pros and cons.

MTN94 Fluorescent Spray Paint

If you're looking to add some zest to your next graffiti or studio project, consider MTN94 Fluorescent spray paints. Available in 7 vibrant colors including Fluorescent Red, Fluorescent Green, Fluorescent Yellow, Fluorescent Blue, Fluorescent Orange, Fluorescent Violet, and Fluorescent Fuchsia, these paints maintain the low pressure and matte finish characteristic of the MTN94 range, featuring the Pocket Cap. The Pocket Cap is user-friendly, providing a medium-width spray that minimizes clogging, ideal for surfaces of all sizes.

Technical Features of MTN94 Fluorescent Spray Paint

From a technical standpoint, there are key considerations when using MTN94 Fluorescent spray paint. Each can provides information about coverage levels and UV resistance (typically lower due to the nature of fluorescent pigments). MTN94 Fluorescents offer a lower coverage level (2 out of 5) and low UV resistance (1 out of 4), meaning they fade faster than regular colors. Therefore, it's recommended to use MTN PRO White Base Primer for maximum adhesion and to enhance the brightness and solid coverage of the fluorescent colors. Additionally, finishing with a UV-protective varnish spray can extend the lifespan of your artwork by reducing fading.

Applications of MTN94 Fluorescent Spray Paint in Graffiti and Fine Art

Due to their intense brightness, fluorescent colors can add a striking "pop" to your work, though moderation is key to avoid overwhelming visuals. These vibrant shades are perfect for highlighting details in your artwork, whether accentuating graffiti pieces, enhancing backgrounds on canvases, or making objects stand out in a room. They also complement UV lighting and blacklights, making them ideal for parties or themed events. Whether for artistic purposes or DIY projects, MTN94 Fluorescent spray paints offer versatility and vibrant results.
