Subject: Color Changing Paint
A while ago someone on this list wondered about the color changing paint used on cars that goes from one color to another depending on the angle you view it. The prices for that stuff was really high though I thought it would make some neat bioships. On a quick trip to Michaels craft store this weekend (last minute supplies to finish my fleets for GenCon) I saw that Krylon has a new product in their craft line called 'Mystique Color2Color'. http://krylon.com/product/mystique.asp For $14.99 you get 3 spray cans, a black base coat, a color coat, and a clear top coat. It comes in 3 color sets: * Blue/Purple - Shifts from cyan through purple to warm red * Silver/Green - Shifts from silver through the full range of greens into purplish blue * Magenta/Gold - Shifts from magenta through red, orange and gold into yellow Anybody tried this yet? Anybody want to? The Blue/Purple might look good on some Not-Shadow Sa'Vasku and the Magenta/Gold could work on some of those old Tholian minis I have from SFB. Plus I have a bunch of old Brood minis from Silent Death that might just look killer in this stuff. Even you ground pounders could have some interesting 'stealth' coatings on your armour to show how they blend into their surroundings.
