You guys do such beautiful work! What do you use for color variations? I’ve got some “vintage” pigment that came in my lume kit, but I’m also experimenting with paprika, saffron, food coloring dye, permanent ink and gold dust. Also, using fluorescent highlighter pens on the white paint undercoat.

The glow in the dark spray paint has gotten much better as well, I made a full lume fume not long ago (completely buggered it up on assembly so I need to redo it).

I keep the gold dust (scraped from broken plated case parts) in a tiny specimen jar. Apply lume, and before it dries, stick a flattened peg wood or toothpick into the jar and gently use a an air puffer to blow it onto the lume. Just a little and it gives a hint of vintage coloring that catches the light and sparkles. I need to try it again as the last one I did that turned out well I botched on assembly and need to redo.
