VividFX paints are compatible with all other Rosco Scenic paints. Use VividFX paints mixed into standard scenic paint when matching the brightest Pantone colors. VividFX uses the same high quality, water base, vinyl acrylic binder found in Off Broadway paints. It is suitable for use over most surfaces.
Rosco's new VividFX paints have been designed specifically to meet the demanding needs of the special effects artist. The brilliant pigments used create stunning blacklight effects and intermix cleanly to provide a wide array of intermediate fluorescent hues.
Use VividFX wherever eye-catching dramatic special effects painting is desired:
For the Special Effects Artists...
The VividFX line of high quality fluorescent paints offers a special effects artist something new and exciting: performance and dependability in a fluorescent paint. With such a wide range of colors VividFX is up to the challenge of almost any project. Whether its a fantastical matte painting, a spectacular scenic effect that transforms under blacklight or just a simple "dayglo" effect, VividFX paint will help create extraordinary results with less work for the artist trying to find just the right color.
For the Scenic Artist...
More and more stage designers are creating sets that depend on the use of blacklight. Until now, this meant more work and frustration for the scenic artists who struggle to get an even coverage of paint and a bright enough effect. But with the high pigment saturation, and the fine grind achieved during their manufacturing, VividFX paints brush on smoothly and dry to an even matte finish, in only one coat. And under ultra violet light, these colors really shine.
