[GZG] Question for the painting gurus...day-glo

I can only comment on the Day-glo part of it, not on dry-brushing over
it.

Day-glo works fine for 'fiery' or 'luminous' parts of a mini.

It is important that you paint day-glo over a light colored primer. A
dark primer will affect the reflection and it will look muddy. White
works best, but a bright, light version of the main day-glo colour will
also work e.g.yellow under red, yellow or orange day-glo, sky-blue under

blue or green.

You can also paint using various day-glo streaks, e.g.red, yellow and
orange for fire.

I have never tried dry-brushing over day-glo, but I don't think there
should be a problem. I think a good contrast, using quite dark colours should
work best.

If you think about coals in a fire, you know what I'm getting at; black, with
a hot core...

I'm not saying it's appropriate physics, but a blue glow on/in an engine
would suggest the nuclear fire within for those of us used to the image of
Cherenkov radiation without necessarily understanding same.
