Feel free to leave a comment down below as far as what you would like to see covered in future comparison vids.
This was just what I was looking for. I want to do the trims and some other details on my Glooming Lords as a glowing, radioactive feel, and this is perfect
I'm glad it helps!
I'm honestly surprised that Tesseract Glow glows at all, given that GW isn't shy of overhyping their paints, yet never marketed it as being fluorescent.
I had recently used it in a tutorial and was surprised at how bright it was on top of Ceramite White. It glows and looks great on models. But next to actual fluorescent paints it isn't as bright... I was surprised.
Your voice is so soothing
thank you, that is quite a compliment.
@@WayoftheBrush idk it feels like i could listen to this all day its so relaxing and calm

From a modeler to a fellow modeler i think youd like my vid :) my first gundam ever
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Thank you 👍
Thank you for this quick comparison. The result was very interesting.
Question to viewers, how often do you display/ play with models under UV light? Do you think fluorescent paint are practical to use? I know that you can make a lot of interesting effects with it. :-)
Very helpful for new buyers, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I've been super happy with the fluorescent FW acrylic inks set from Daler Rowney, FWIW. Also have most of the Vallejo paints but always found them pretty difficult to work with due to the weird sort of "rubbery" consistency they seem to have for whatever reason.
You might be seeing the consistency difference in water based acrylics and inks. Having said that the Vallejo fluorescent paints do have a "rubbery" kind of finish.
Do you know any body paint that glows without UV light?
there are glow in the dark paints but I have no idea how well they work on a miniature. If you try it please send/tag me in the pics.
Two Raven Studios did a thorough comparison of several brands of fluo paints in many colors, although he didn't have the Golden paints, and pretty much all brands across nearly all colors were bested by the Greenstuffworld ones, at least in pure glowiness and vibrancy. He got the same takeaway as you with respect to the Citadel one, it's decidedly meh compared to fluo paints even though it IS fluorescent.
The general takeaway for me is that *ANY* fluo will be better than Tesseract Glow, both with and without a blacklight. I do love my fluo paints :D
interesting
Do you know any phosphorescent paints for minis? I want to paint some warp stone that glows in the dark. I want it to look really cool on my shelf at night.
There are many manufactures of glow in the dark paint, I personally have next to no experience with it so I may be of little help...
The citadel looks great in the light. It sorta glows but doesn't. The Vallejo is the perfect mix
The Vallejo is good but I prefer Golden High Flow.
Is the Golden one good for airbrush? That would be awesome
it is made for airbrush and markers. It is very thin body paint, more like ink. Golden High Flow paint are really fun for mini painting. Can be used by airbrush or bristle brush.
My only caution is that they dry semi gloss. So if you prefer a matte finish you may want to pick up matte medium.
Something you might be able to help me with.
Bought vallejo flip red and it’s super orange looking. Should I buy their flip orange are well or maybe just get a stronger red from a different range?
maybe Vallejo 70.909 Vermilion or Vallejo 70.908 Carmine Red. Those may be closer to what you are looking for. I will assume you want more of a hot rod (sports car) red? I think those might be more of what you are looking for... Hope that Helps.
Ok, now I know with what paint green plasma.
I'm glad this was useful.
Not painting miniatures but need some bright color detail paints - magenta, red, orange, green, blue - but even texture opaques not contrasts/washes. Any recs?
what sort of paints are you working in? enamels? acrylics? water based acrylics? oil based?
more info is needed for a recommendation.
@WayoftheBrush I'm customizing a nerf blaster, doing some acrylics (heard some good things about water based but open to whatever works), brand tbd, over black spray primer (some metallic shades for larger areas and bright colors for highlighting details like indicator lights, glowing protrusions, warning sign or what have you). I've heard to layer white between primer and brights but other than that hard to figure out what will stay put in very small areas and not flow everywhere while still looking vibrant enough.
@@koushiro86If it is for a Nerf blaster and it will be handled you may want a more robust paint like enamel or acrylic. I would recommend Tamiya paints (acrylic) or SpazStix paint. Spaazstix has some color shifting and metallics. At any rate I suspect those would work out for you as they are more durable.
@@WayoftheBrush Those appear to both be airbrush paints and airbrushing is not in my budget, I'm sticking with traditional brushing for now.
@@koushiro86 airbrush paints can be used by airbrush or bristle brush. It is just paint.
Is it normal that my vallejo is coming out darker than what's in the video?
sometimes colours can be "off" between batches of paint. Believe it or not it happens quite a bit for many, if not all of the major paint companies.
It is referred to as "a bad batch".
Can it still shine without UV light?
it Fluorescence in daylight... very bright! In a dark room you will need a UV light to make it glow.
Getting ready for the Sisters action figure?
oh you know it!
Have you tried Luminous Green Ink by AK interactive? I think it works pretty damn good for a fluo green
I have not tried it. I may in the future.
So wierd my vallejo florescent green looks like a completely different color.
that happens sometimes given the nature of making batches of paint.
Looks like golden wins.
Are glow in the dark paints toxic ?.
check the label of the bottle.
Golden paints are S-Tier for any given color 😄
I concur.
Which paint is cheapest?
Cheapest over all? Which brand is the cheapest? Dollar store craft paint is the cheapest.
Love the Golden line but they hit the wallet hard. Lol
They do cost more but you get more. Citadel (12ml) and Vallejo (17ml) might cost less when looking at just the price tag compared to Golden High Flow (30ml). Citadel costs me $5.40 CAN versus $8.99 CAN GHF for over twice the amount of paint. But to each his/her own... I'm not going to tell someone how to spend their money.
@@WayoftheBrush I typed this reply before I had my morning coffee so I wasn't running at my smartest. You are right, Golden is actually cheaper per ml than Citadel. I just bought a $300 AB, I shouldn't complain about paint prices. LOL.
no worries! Happens to me as well... more often than not...
@@WayoftheBrush my favorite red in all of painting is golden napthal red. Nice and vibrant
