Chamelon Paint?

[BURRITO]

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?

I remember when I wanted to paint my bicycle frame chameleon about 5-6 years ago it was going to cost around $1000

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.

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.

chameleon/ harlequin and kameleon paints shouldnt be confused wit pealr paints, the pigments used are totally different, pearls have 2 sides which refract the light differently as it hits it, the other paints have numerouse sides in which it defracts the light differently wit different angles, unlike pearls which needs the light to be actually hitting the pigments to change colors, the other paints can cange color in the shade.

the usual painting process for them is a black base, then the color, then clear, the color has all the pigments that change colors in 1 can, where as pearls you need different colors to provide more than 1 shift.
