GOLDEN SoFlat Matte Acrylic Paint, Fluorescent Orange 59 ml — ultra-matte, high-coverage

This 2 fl. oz. jar of GOLDEN SoFlat Fluorescent Orange combines dye-based brilliance with a specialized polymer coating to create a striking, flat colour that levels smoothly and dries with minimal sheen. Formulated to help artists lay down rich, even colour in fewer layers than traditional acrylics, SoFlat emphasizes coverage, flow, and a matte surface. The fluorescent component produces a visible glow under black light, while the paint’s composition offers durable water resistance once dry.

How does SoFlat create a matte, non-reflective finish?

The formula uses a balance of pigments and leveling agents that spread evenly and reduce surface glare when dry. Unlike heavily textured or glossy acrylics, SoFlat is engineered to produce a uniform flat plane of colour that replicates the look of gouache without its fragility.

• Special polymer-dye particles for dense colour and reduced sheen
• High leveling properties to minimize brush marks
• Dries to a durable, water-resistant matte surface

Will Fluorescent Orange glow under black light and how permanent is it?

The dye-based fluorescent pigment visibly glows under ultraviolet (black) light, producing a vivid, luminous effect. Because the fluorescence comes from dye particles, lightfastness is very poor (Lightfastness IV), so colour permanence is limited without protective measures.

• Glows under black light for vibrant effects
• Not lightfast—expect colour shift with prolonged light exposure
• Varnishing with UVLS increases permanence but removes black light glow

How should I use SoFlat Fluorescent Orange for best coverage and texture control?

Apply SoFlat with brush or broad tool strokes to create large flat areas; its flowing consistency lets the paint settle evenly. For the most uniform appearance, work wet-into-wet, avoid overbrushing, and allow adequate drying time between layers when building opacity.

• Use wide, soft brushes or squeegees for even coverage
• Thin sparingly with water for flow control; avoid excessive thinning
• Layer in thin coats for opacity without texture buildup

What are the technical details and practical precautions?

SoFlat Fluorescent Orange is semi-transparent in some applications and contains dyed polymer particles plus titanium dioxide for opacity where needed. It’s vegan and made in the USA, but because fluorescent dyes are inherently light-sensitive, plan conservation and display conditions accordingly.

• Size: 2 fl. oz. jar; ideal for trials, studies, and detail work
• Ingredients: dyed polymer particles, PW6 (Titanium Dioxide Rutile)
• Vegan, water-based, and water-resistant when dry

Who is this for? GOLDEN SoFlat Fluorescent Orange is aimed at painters, muralists, set designers, and mixed-media artists who need a reliably matte, intensely coloured acrylic that lays down broad, even colour fields with a unique fluorescent effect. Choose this jar-sized option for experimentation, small-scale work, or as an accent colour in larger palettes. If you require archival lightfastness for long-term exposure, consider varnishing with UVLS (accepting that you will lose the black-light fluorescence) or use SoFlat for indoor, gallery-controlled, or ephemeral projects where glow and surface quality are the priority.
