Hobby-Sports: For use on models and toys, markings on easily lost sporting equipment (boomerangs, arrows, fishing gear) and identification markings on personal equipment.

SCREAMIN’ Filteray® W:
Filteray W is a clear overcoat designed for use over the SRX fluorescent latex paint. The Filteray W absorbs some of the harmful rays of the sun that cause premature fading of fluorescent colors during continued exposure to direct sunlight. A topcoat of Filteray W can double the lightfastness of DayGlo’s fluorescent colors. Ordinary varnishes and overcoats do not have the protective action of the SRX Filteray W overcoat and can do more harm than good when used over DayGlo’s fluorescent colors.
Filteray W is not recommended for interior use where coatings are exposed to black light or artificial ultraviolet light sources. Fluorescent surfaces coated with Filteray W will not fluoresce in the dark under black light.

General Application Instructions

Undercoat:
DayGlo SRX latex paints are semi-transparent and, therefore, brightest when applied over a clean, white surface. White semi-gloss latex coatings, flat white latex undercoaters, water based primersealers and water-based bulletin blockout whites are ideally suited for this purpose. Over old finishes, clean and sand before applying a white undercoat or primer that offers good adhesion to both the old finish and new DayGlo paint. However, best performance can be achieved by removing old finishes and starting with a freshly primed surface.

Filteray W Overcoat:

  • Apply one heavy coat of DayGlo SRX Filteray W overcoat (1.5 mils dry). Thin, only if necessary, using water. This product works best when applied by brush.
  • Allow surface to dry 2 hours before putting into service.
  • Clean brushes should always be used. After use, they can be cleaned up with warm water.
  • Application of Filteray W will cause the color to deepen. It will have a glossy finish.
  • The use of Filteray W will diminish the UV response of the finished paint.
  • DayGlo SRX latex paint and Filteray W overcoat may be applied by spray gun. Stir well and thin to spraying consistency using water, then strain.
  • The nominal shelf life of the SRX latex paint and Filteray W overcoat is one year in unopened cans. These products should be stirred before use.
  • Avoid freezing and close can tightly when not in use. Use with adequate ventilation.
