Red Fluorescente

Red Fluorescente: fluorescent RAL 3024 for high-visibility details

RAL 3024 Luminous Red (Leuchtrot) belongs to the small group of daylight-fluorescent RAL colours designed to grab attention. It appears on warning signs, rescue equipment, barrier markings, high-visibility panels on emergency vehicles, and the conspicuity stripes and patches applied to some aircraft and helicopters. On scale models it is ideal for search-and-rescue machines, training aircraft markings, race-car details and anything that should glow under light. Being fluorescent, it looks its brightest over a clean white base, and a clear coat helps protect the effect.

The problem with fluorescent colours

Fluorescent pigments need a pure white base to glow, and they are translucent, so they need several light coats. Over grey they look dull; over white they are vivid.

How to apply

1. Shake the bottle for at least 60 seconds.
2. Prime with a white primer and let it dry fully.
3. Airbrush straight from the bottle, no thinning needed. Use a 0.2–0.4 mm nozzle at around 20 PSI (1.4 bar) and apply light, cross-hatched coats, letting each one flash off before the next.
4. Let the paint cure overnight before masking or clear-coating.
5. Seal with a water-based clear coat: gloss for a factory shine, or satin or matte for work vehicles and interiors.
6. Clean the airbrush with water before the paint dries.

Why modelers choose Koloi Aqua

• Ready to spray: no guessing thinning ratios, the same result from every bottle
• Cleans up with water, so there are no strong solvent fumes at the bench
• Fine pigment grind for 1:8 to 1:72 scales, so panel lines and detail stay crisp
• One system: primer, colour and clear designed to work together

Shelf life

Estimated shelf life of more than 12 months when stored tightly closed between +10 °C and +28 °C, away from frost and direct sunlight. Shake well before use; if the paint has thickened or separated and does not remix, do not use it.
