Title: SBD NEON YELLOW KUWIE BRAVO KT - SUNNIES MAY BE REQUIRED... LOL
Post by: kuwahero on January 25, 2009, 05:38 PM: Got Dan to powder this for me last year and I have finally got round to starting it. It is Neon Yellow it is super bright in the flesh, almost flourescent.
Pics dont do it justice I tried some with the flash and it was sensory overload on the camera. :LolLolLolLol:

Enjoy the pics. I had to buy the powder from the US for Dan to do it, not super expensive though 1lb bag was enough to do this.
