Ever painted a model with color changing paint?

Here's a project for you the next time your looking for a unique paint job for your model. Dupli-Color makes many different color shifting paints and they are not that expensive. Dupont Chromillusion paint will cost you big bucks! The Dupli-Color stuff is a 3 part kit that includes a flat black, the color changing paint and a can of clear coat for about $25. All three cans are used in that order and when broken down to price it works out at about $8 a can! That's about the average cost of any can of lacquer out there if not less! I did a 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery with this paint (purple to green color) and let me tell you, the repeat view factor for that model is way more than any other model, not because it's a particularly great build or kit, it's just the cool paint dude!
Have fun!
