I was at Michaels and almost bought that stuff... then I thought 💭 better wait for Vic’s demo... it turned out nice 👍 both colors would look awesome on a car!! Thanks for sharing buddy!!! Model On!!!!!
The needle travel is adjusted by the knob at the rear of the airbrush to set a certain amount of paint put out by the airbrush, not air pressure. Just a note. The color shift paint is great though.
i bought both of those colors when they first came out. i have yet gotten to use them. i was thinking of spraying a black sealer base coat by auto borne. then spray either wicked colors pearl black or wicked colors wicked jet black. once i am done spraying that color then spray probably purple sunrise over it. i am doing a 2 color truck model build. the other color i am spraying is candy blue pearl. thoughts?
This was helpful. I just picked up some of this at Michael’s in Syracuse, NY (haven’t seen it in Canada, yet). The tips were quite helpful. I’d be interested to see what the difference could be in printing the surface of the spoons first, and also, what might happen if you brushed thinned coats instead of straight out of the bottle. I’ve had good results with MMP, Tamiya, and Humbrol/Airfix paints going that direction.
Thanks for the video. Question: Do you know if Testor, who I just learned is owned by Rust-Oleum, uses the same paint for their line of color shift paints as Rust-Oleum does for their line of spray paints? Because I see that the two colors you feature here in your video from Testor, "Purple Sunrise" and "Turquoise Waters", Rust-Oleum puts out as a spray.
@@vicsminiatures7949 - hmmm....? I’ll have to go to our Michaels and see if I can find it, whenever I get some coin that is ( green backs, spending cabbage) ! lol! Thanks Vic Ol buddy, preciate it!
Terrible noise to signal ratio (it's about the color shift paints and about 14 minutes is dedicated to you trying to figure out how to airbrush a basecoat) but thanks for the video. I have used a couple of these paints and they really, really look better in real life than on camera.
@@vicsminiatures7949 okay sorry for the late reply but, either my thinning ratio was bad but these behave better under water than my mr hobby thinner. It could be due to other factors such as psi, distance etc. Its not that the paint pooled or anything but the color shift effect wasnt as prominent as with water for some reason. Will test with different ratios but Mr LT is a bit expensive to waste on experiments so its gonna take longer since i have other batches of paint to mix up for future projects.
@@masterkent1 Thanks for the reply. Mr. Hobby thinner really works better with the Tamyia style paints. That aren't true acrylics. I hope your experimentation goes well.
wax & grease remover before you paint them. maybe you did that but on every video cut it showed you touching & rubbing the spoons with your bare fingers & that creates fish eye after the paint as been dried which is indentations in the paint. like i said maybe you did this step but 2 of the sample spoons showed this, which is why i recommend to wipe it clean especially if you want to have a good sample. thanks for the video!
Thanks vic for sharing i think ill try source out the paints to make that color shift be nice on new build love it bro great job, 👍Keith
Thanks Keith.
Tamiya gloss black looks fantastic, with the second blue also on top.
Thanks Lucian

Give it a shot. Would like to hear about the results you get.

Good luck with the paints. I'm glad the video was helpful.
I agree ..The colors look better over Tamiya. Nice colors. Great review Vic. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Mike!
I feel any gloss black should do.. maybe some black primer then some gloss black followed by the color shift
That sounds like it would work wonderfully
Nice vid Vic, thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!
Welcome Tim. I hope it all made sense. First time really showing the process or attempting too.
@@vicsminiatures7949 👍👍
Can I use airbrush cleaner instead of what ur using to thin the paint?
I'm not sure. A cleaner might have different chemicals in it than a regular thinner. You could certainly test it and see if it works.
Will the colour shift paint work over a Matt base?
I don't know. I didn't try it.
Thx for sharing Vic!
Welcome!
Thanks for the video.

Thank you for watching. To be honest I do not know if they are the same paints. Sorry.
Where do you even buy this paint? Looked online amazon and just plain google but no luck!
Michael's Craft Store. Thanks for watching!
Interesting to see the results
Glad you liked it.
What color/colors does the black shift to???
I didn't try black. There's purple, Turquoise and a iridescent shimmer. The black is just an undercoat.
What If you put the top coat over regular paint
Will have to try that at some point.
What clear coat can you use with this?!
I would guess you could use a lacquer based one.
Nice comparison between the two coatings, the Tamia looked better to me on the screen, thanks for sharing Vic
Thanks Rusty. I was a little concerned it wasn't going to come out well. The video I mean.
It's so much nicer with the tamiya black for sure!
I do agree Shawn.
Sweet review there Vic I have the same airbrush have tried using Mr hobby leveling thinner it works all paints I have tried
Thanks Jamie. I have the Mr. Hobby Leveling thinner but haven't tried with normal acrylic paint.
Those colour shift paints are fantastic
They are nice.
Hey Vic do you use the fan tip
I do use the fan tip, just not this time.
Great paint review Vic. The Tamiya gloss is by far the best base for that, far superior look and color.
Thanks. Yep, I agree.
nice review Vic
Thank you Justin!
Cool Vic, I didn’t even know that Testors had that paint, huh?! Where’d you get it from?
Neither did I. I found it at Michaels Craft Store

First time doing it, first time mistakes. Live and learn. Thanks for watching and the feedback.
Apparently you can thin these with generic tap water. I'm gonna try experiment with my leveling thinner and water and see if they both work
Good luck with your experimentation. Let me know how it goes.

Those are really pretty colors Vic. The flakes look too heavy for scale to me, but it's hard to tell in the video.
That's a good point. Would have to try it on a model to be sure.
@@vicsminiatures7949 I'd like to see it when you do Vic.
Nice review Vic. Tamiya is always a winner haha.
Thanks. In this case Tamiya was hands down the winner.

Thanks for watching and thanks for the information. I do have that habit of doing that when doing the test spoons.
@@vicsminiatures7949 lol yea i didn’t know if that’s what happened but thanks for sharing!
It's a good day to have a local Micheal's.
Yes it is. Thanks for watching!
Never used color-shift paint. Hmmmm
Neither had I until I bought this stuff.
Dommage qu’on ne puisse pas les avoir en France
I think the tamiya paint was way better under that testors paint
Thanks John. I think so too.
