Optical properties of holographic paint:

This special-effect paint is also known as prismatic paint, and it reflects direct light, producing iridescent reflections that shift through the full spectrum of the rainbow – in other words, it behaves exactly like a prism. The reflected ‘light colour’ does not significantly alter the background colour when one or two coats are applied. From three coats onwards, the paint’s semi-transparent grey colour will alter the background colour, and with a few more coats it will completely cover the background colour to produce a grey finish. 

Abrasive sheets and masking tapes are available in the section Abrasive.

Available background colours

It is possible to achieve a coloured finish with a holographic effect, with a free choice of background colour  

Aspect: Spectrum being a paint extremely difficult to achieve, we propose only the kit Arco Iris 20/35µm, which is easy to apply but guarantees a maximum of effect.

The arco iris is a holographic or prismatic product, that creates a rainbow effect.

Only a few thin passes are necessary. The effect achieved (see picture) is iridescent and prismatic (rainbow like), under a source of light, or even by night, when it reflects the cities' light.

However the effect will be completely invisible by cloudy weather or in the shadows.

The aspect will also depend of the colour of the background: over a black background, it will display an intense prismatic effect and a strong grey colour rainbow. Over an aluminium background it will not modify the background colour and gives a rainbow effect. While over a white background it will create a slight metallic and rainbow effect.

We offer 68 basic colours in our GRAPHIC colour range.

Please specify the GPH reference in the comments section or by email immediately after placing your order.

How to use:

1/ After the aluminium or black/white or another colour* background has been applied, and within 30minutes.  (Ready-to-use, mono-component product)

2/ Apply a few thin passes of Arco Iris until to get the effect you wish. (Ready to use mono-component product) Apply the gloss topcoat promptly after applying the holographic paint, ensuring that no more than 30 minutes elapse before recoating.

6/ Apply the clearcoat UHS830 after having mixed it with the hardener and thinned it at around 15%. Spray 2 to 3 coats. The Rainbow effect will reveal itself in all its intensity!
