I have Used Duplicolor (not for modeling, I have made my computer case with it)

It's a set of 3 spraycan. One Black Primer, One "color" primer and One Clear.

It's mainly metalic flawk that give a shifting color look..


I used the Primer on some car, work really great... the only sad thing, it's expensive

It's not VERY expensive.. it's the price of 3 Tamiya Can (27$Can)

Heres a simple definition: Chameleon Paint-Paint that changes colors at different angles.

The most popular color is green to purple. That means the car looks green from some angles, then from other angles it looks purple.

Both of these were done with House of Kolors paints; their paints are expensive but worth it.

I don't know guys, am I the only one who sees a chameleon paint job nowadays and says, "so what..?"
I think the faddish nature of these finishes have already worn-out thier welcome. They aren't fresh anymore and are already pinpointing the date of the car's build much like the original metal-flakes from the early '70's and the mono-chromatic look of the '80's!
