FAQ
Q: How much pigment do I need?
A: A few factors here. The application used, the base color and the end goal result. If you are planning to use standard auto paint, 25 grams per half a gallon (2 quarts). If you are using peelable paint, 25 grams per gallon. Now that doesn't mean you have to use the above amount. This is just a starting suggestion. Being a pigment, there is a semi-translucent effect to it. The less pigment and/or coats applied will yield in softer/lighter effect and of course the more pigment and/or coats applied the more shift effect takes place however there is a too much when it comes to paint and pigments. Start low and adjust from there.
Question: What color base should we use?
Answer: Any really! Black base is pretty standard while the lighter bases such as light grey, teal or even a nice soft lavender color looks good. I dont suggest a bright white base. I've found that white is too blinding for the shift to be seen. Of course spray a sample prior. Computer/Phone screens, pigment load, coats and basecoat all play a factor. Test test test.
