Pearlized paint with changing color from black to colour effect

The "black interference" paint range includes special colours, exclusively developed by StardustColors.

Somewhat like chameleon paints, they create a changing color effect from black to coloured.
In the absence of direct light (lamp, sun, lamp post), the paint once topcoated produces a deep and glossy black appearance. From a certain angle, and under light, it will reveal a deep pearl colour.

The pearl particles are very fine, and do not contain any glitter. A glittered version is available on request.

Method of application
On pure black background sanded with P500
Application with 1.3/1.4mm gun (3 bars)
4 thin layers at rapid intervals
Apply the varnish “wet on wet” before 30 minutes.

What are the differences between the standard "interference black" colors and the "Hypershift" color?

In addition to the difference in price and composition, there are significant differences in terms of colors, but also in application:
while the standard colors are applied with one or two very thin coats, and the colors obtained are dark and discreet,
"Hypershift" colors are applied with several layers, like a pearlescent paint, Or a chameleon paint. moreover, Hypershift colors are more vivid, more intense. the color change is more radical.
