BURRITO Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 It changes color via pearls painted in a certian order, Its a form of tri-coat paint base, then pearl, then clear. some even have to pearl coats then clear. and depending on the order of that pearl it shifts different... who mixes this one, and will it work on something small like a guitar?

trainman0978 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Look for a auto color store or a finishmasters ....both companies are autobody supply houses, and they both are dupont dealers. I dont know if they are on the west coast, I think so.... Either way, that is what you wanna find in the phone book, a autobody supply.... The Dupont chroma illusion is , as the other guy said, a three stage paint. I worked in a bodyy shop in high school, and I used to love to watch the painter sparay this stuff.... It is a lot of work, and it can be fucked up pretty easy if the painter doesnt know what he is doing. That is sort of a rarity now, since it has been out for a while, and most painters are more than familiar with it. It requires great prep work, and at least three coats of color and pearl combinations, and that doesnt even include the coats of a true clear coat. You see alot of thee paint jobs riding around, and honestly, mosto fthem are done half assed.... The shop I worked at had a Dupont training seminar there for all the local painters, and seeing the paint job done by the people who created the product.... I am telling you, it is a big difference in color change, consistency, and smoothness.... really one hell of a neat product. Quote 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser Voo Doo Blue my upgrades and "build" thread.

bumonskateboard6 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 A friend of mine owns what I think is the best body shop in Tucson and one of his trucks has the paint on it, he says it isn't much harder than doing a regular paint job.
