From what I understand most metalic paints are simply a carrying agent and metal particles, so would a mix of two metalic paints cause this effect, EG would a mix of blue and yellow metalic paints give this effect or would it give you green?
pretty sure thats not possible… the reason the shift in colour occurs is that the particles that create the colour are a shape that shows up diferently or not at all depending on the angle they are veiwed… and if mixed as a liquid those two would definatly come out green…
heres a little snippet of one companies explanation on how their product works… found here: http://www.ammagazine.com/CDA/ArticleInformation/features/BNP__Features__Item/0,2606,83215,00.html
“The phenomenon seen in light-interference pigment is caused by the presence of thin, micro-layered structures that reflect different wavelengths of visible light depending on the angle at which they are viewed, and their position relative to the light source (Figure 1). This is possible because light has the property of waves and can interfere both constructively and destructively to form sharp reflectance peaks in visible light, resulting in highly chromatic colors.”
coolies pete!
and talldude… nothing more has happened but the filling of the skylines rear spoiler holes (thats what you wanted right?) and final adjustments to the supras rear end before masking and then spraying comences… you had any other thoughts about how you want the supra done?
