What green to use?

[zippeay]

Hello, I want to paint a tank green but I want it a really brilliant green. I have a half quart of lime time green is there anything I can do to make it really bright? Or do you know of any other HOK greens that are really nice? I'd really appreciate any help, thanks

Are you going for a neon green look? If so put a white base under it. I don't know how well the neon colors hold up over time. I have seen some that have faded out pretty bad.

No not really a neon green but a really bright mint green.

When your talking GREEN let me tell you the
most brillaunt green (sp) is made with floresent yellow added to your joice of green.
I allso add a little Silver.

The neons get destroyed fast by sunlight.A 1/2a$$ed way to get that glow look is lay down some bright white and turn that green into candy.Try a test panel first because it won't be true candy and some colors wont go on nice without getting excessive coats on and it ends up being darker than what you want.I say it isn't a true candy because candies are dyes added to clear,not pigmented color.I just have a habbit of calling tinted clear candy.

Now rex when was the last time you combined
theese? I don;t feel as if I have ANY thing on you for sure! I have at least 6to maby more
bikes on the road since (the last one painted 1999)and have seen them at least 4 of them since 2002 and I must say i couldn't be happy w/them and nobodys talking repainting .

I can't say I ever did green but I've had bad luck with medium reds and getting it to work with light colors.Then again I'm not playing with true candies either.

Try a Lime Gold kandy over the green - It'll make just about any green more violent...
