Lumiere is a stunning assortment of metallic or pearlescent colors. They brush on like butter, slightly level once they are down, but they are designed not to spread. This allows for smooth application to soft or flexible surfaces like fabrics or uneven textures like styrofoam. This paint remains flexible and soft. These colors can be bright, metallic, garish, or subtle…. ranging from a sparkle gold or an antique bronze. They are truly opaque and bright, even on dark backgrounds. Their high pigmentation provides excellent coverage, great even through an airbrush (25% water mix required for airbrushing). Some colors in this range are meant only for dark surfaces such as the hi-lite colors.

Neopaque has a similar consistency as Lumiere. However, it is primarily designed to cover dark grounds with a light application, and it is not metallic. You can use these colors to mix into and "antique" Lumiere. When used on light or white fabric, the colors produce a more intense colors scheme. Neopaque 576 Extender is also a suitable medium for Pearl-Ex pigments. Both Neopaque and Lumiere can be screened, painted, stenciled, marbled, stamped or brushed on with a soft brush.
