Help Colorshift metallics from Greenstuffworld

Yeah the general consensus seems to be that they are relatively thin so if you use a regular brush you will need lots of coats, so better use an airbrush.
They look pretty cool though!
 
Might be interesting for painting all the little gem bits on models... :artist:
 
Yeah, I've got them. They are a tad thin, but they coat really well. I've found that they work best over a black primer. I've tried some with white primer, but they didn't hardly show. Black is best. The effect is cool, but shows much better over large surface areas. I like painting mine on, then applying a wash to dull it a tad, then coming back and applying a little bit to the specific areas that I really want to pop. I've found that to work best.
 
FYI, I also got their metallic (gold) paint set and love them! The color variations are subtle enough from shade to shade that you can easily attain the exact color you want. Not too expensive either!

So what do these do exactly? Are they a wash
 
No they are metallic paints. They are just very thin.
There are YT guides on then as well, check them out.
 
Yeah, they're paints. They work best over another base color though. Think glaze.
