And, to top it all off, a complete assortment of premium clearcoats that further define and retain any custom color for years to come.

Shimrin® Neons are designed for hard-hitting high visual impact. Perfect for highlights on race cars, boats and signage where eye-catching intensity is craved. We recommend clear coating with our HOK Urethane clear which contains much more UV absorbers than other standard clears, thus reducing possible sun fade.
In addition:
• Shimrin Neons have a limited color fastness in the direct sun, so an overall project in Neon is not recommended.
• Universal basecoat that may be simply cleared for a final finish or in graphics and artwork
