  • Chamelean Paint

    How do I paint chamealan? How come everytime I see it, it is the traditional teal and purple scheme going. Are those the only colors that car be done? I want to get my car painted triple black with silver ghost flames. Then have everything under the hood chamelan black and silver. Is this possible?
    thanks

      The chameleon colors are also made by DuPont and PPG.... the guy that painted my hood claimed the paint costs $25/ounce.... = $800 a quart.

        They don't make a chameleon black or silver. You can get purple, blue, green; or red, yellow, orange. That's the standard ones you see, 3 color shifts. Now they do make some that shift like 7 times, but they are always a "red to yellow" or a "green to purple" shift, because the tints in them allow them to do that. I've never seen one that crossed the rainbow so to speak, with both red-yellow, and green-purple shifts. I had once seen a picture of a house of color flip they were trying to do where it shifted everything, but as far as I know it was never released.

        By the way, in case you're wondering why they can't flip white, silver, or black; black absorbs all color, hence making it black. White reflects all color, hence it being white. Silver is kinda like a mirror, it reflects more than it absorbs. The trick with flipping paint is having a color that will "tint" the undercoated paint, instead of "coloring" over it.

        I don't know if you've ever seen chameleon on a black car, but it is evil looking. I saw some chameleon flames on a square body F150 once, and the flames actually looked like they were moving. I had planned on doing that to my car, but instead I'm going to do my bike.
