Why Modelers Love Color Change Effects
Color-shifting appearance that changes with angle and lighting
Ideal for custom builds, display models, and creative finishing
Works great for automotive subjects, helmets, fairings, and accent panels
Color change finishes look their best over a smooth, uniform base. For improved adhesion and a consistent surface, begin with
Mission Model Paint Primers. Many color-shifting effects pop most strongly over a dark base, especially gloss black. If you are building a reflective or show-quality effect, explore the
Gloss Black Base and Gloss White Base options that are commonly used for specialty finishes.
After spraying your color change layers, seal and protect your finish with
Mission Model Paint Clear Coats. A clear coat helps lock in the effect, improves durability, and allows you to tune the final sheen.
