mark poulson Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Is there such an animal? I know color shift airbrush paints have pigments that are shaped a certain way to achieve the color shift. I was hoping there might be something like that available for plastics. Fingers crossed!!!!

GB GONE Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 That is what you want Mark but be ready... it is pretty pricey. I have a guy that paints cars/trucks by me that will give me a little of the left overs for nothing. Fun to play with but you really need lots to experiment as once you add a colorant to the mix, the colors will change or not be as expected. Works pretty good in clear plastic but you need to load the bait up to really get the color change or shift like you see on some autos.

Color can be a tricky thing sometimes. Most all of those color shift paints for cars have to be laid down over a solid color like silver or black to get the full effect of the shift. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
