DayGlo® 215 Brushing Paint is a premium fluorescent brushing paint. Maximum lightfastness and film integrity are dependent upon the use of DayGlo Filteray® Type D (clear overcoat).
Studies indicate that if an all-purpose single color is desired for impact, Blaze Orange and Fire Orange are generally best for contrast with most natural backgrounds. A significant characteristic of DayGlo’s fluorescent colors are that they do not tend to appear white, gray, or black (achromatic) at extreme distances and at dusk, dawn or low light conditions as do most non-fluorescent colors.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Lightfastness
The useful outdoor life of the color is determined by the thickness and uniformity of the DayGlo 215 coating. For greatly increased resistance to sunlight, an overcoat of Filteray Type D is required.
One coat of DayGlo 215 Brushing Paint is usually sufficient for interior markings, as the color is virtually unaffected by light sources other than direct sunlight. For store fronts, panel truck signs, etc., can last up to one year if a coat of Filteray Type D overcoat is applied over two coats of DayGlo 215 Brushing Paint
