Lefranc & Bourgeois : Flashe : Vinyl Emulsion Paint : 80ml : Japanese Orange (476)

Lefranc & Bourgeois Flashe are a range of vinyl emulsion paints that offer flat matt coverage on a wide variety of surfaces.Flashe is highly pigmented and can be diluted with water to create a range of results, from highly opaque finishes to a transparent watercolour effects. The colours have a uniform 30 minute drying time and once dry they are water-resistant. They can only be removed with alcohol-based solvents.The 76 colour range contains 35 single pigment colours, 7 fluorescents, and 12 iridescent (satin) colours. All the additives and mediums from the Lefranc Bourgeois Acrylic range are compatible with the Flashe range.These properties mean artists can paint without the need for special under layers such as primer. Depending on the thickness of the film and colour transparency, multiple layers may still be required.The colours use a vinyl emulsion binder that has a longer molecular structure than acrylic, so it is more supple and flexible. The finer, softer resin is a fatter emulsion that results in a flat and smooth surface with no brush marks. It is a creamy, soft-body paint that dries with a very fine surface texture.
