Pros:
|
Easy to use,... inexpensive,... dramatic colour shifts
|
|
Cons:
|
Lacquer spray bomb clear coat,... would recommend using a good urothane clear instead.
|
|
Considering what the major paint companies charge for their colour shifting paints, this stuff is quite a deal. It sprayed well right out of the can and dried quickly. The fact that it is a lacquer based paint means that there are no windows to work within,... you can wait 10 minutes or 10 days and the next coat will chemicial bond to the one before. I was able to use the midcoat with my airbrush by simply spraying it into the airbrush bottle from the can.
The best results of colour shift came from using about 5 or 6 coats of the midcoat, and I would say that one kit would do a normal bike tank and two fenders,... or several helmets.
The only thing that I would recommend, is going with a urothane clear instead of sanding and buffing up the clear spray bomb lacquer. It's less work and makes for a more durable, and solvent resistant finish.
