Colorshift Paint Job

Anyone Know Where I Can Buy Colorshift Paint That Will Work In Spray Guns? I Can Find 8 Oz Aerosol Cans In Checker And Autozone But My Neighbor Has A Spray Gun And Will Do My Car For Free If I Can Get The Paint. I Like The Color "Ice" By Mirage.

I've Done A Google Search And Still Only Come Up With 8 Oz. Aerosol Spray Cans. And Yes I'm Sure. I'm Also Putting In A Moonroof And Upgrading It To Power Windows And Locks.

Color shifting paint like Kamelion by House of Kolors or Chromalusion by DuPont? Just to use in a regular automotive spray gun? These are NOT easy to spray, nor cheap.
We are talking $400 or more a PINT. And you need gallons.
RX7JOCK has an awesome Absolute Purpleen Chromalusion paint job on his FD.

The Money Really Isn't A Problem, But Definately Need Some Practice Before I Touch My Car With It.

Wheres The Pictures? I Want Something Close To The "Ice" Color Scheme By Mirage But I'd Like To See How The Purpleen Looks. They Don't Really Show What The Colors Look Like On the Dupont Site.

Mirage is not the maker Duplicolor is. Its only available in spray can form. Its one of those ricer accessory paint things.

Someone please buy this car from this person we don't need another 7 ricerized. That FD posted above is bad enough.

Don't care for it myself. Like a Paris Hilton **** video, it was trendy, and (IMO) the trend has run it's course. Now if you've seen one, you've seen em' all. Still you could argue that MAZDA did it with the MB color and besides, it's his car.
FFXluc, check with a local body shop supply house. If you can't find one in the book, just call the closest collision shop and ask them for their supplier.

You guys don't like the 'soap bubble effect'? Man, I just LOVE it....and plan on doing my FD that way. I am anti-rice to the extreme and find it odd that people would think a color-shifting paint job is "rice".
Pictures don't do this paint its full justice. It is just absolutely AMAZING in person! A slight tilt of your head, a slight change in your eye direction, and the color is totally different.
But then, to each his own.

Bajaman, I might be able to work something out with you. I can't tell you here in the open forum, but it's nothing illegal, please PM me.

I Never Thought Colorshift Was "Rice" I Like "Ricing" Though. I Like Colorshift For Obviously... The COlorshift Effects And Just To See One PAss By Me And It Chages Colors On The Highway Or At A Stoplight Looks So Sweet I Drool lol

BTW, I Like Those Headlights, But Not The Pastic Things ON Them, Is Their A Way To Get Those Headlights To Work With The Eyelids?
