Iridescent Paint Effect

A Dynamic Multicolor Paint Effect

To really add a splash of fun and color to your project, the Aurora paint effect should be high on your list. Aurora is a special polychromatic effect paint that actually changes colors depending on the angle of light on the surface.

The continuing color changes can be…Green to Violet, Green to Blue or Green to Red.

The most dramatic color changes are seen on curved surfaces that have black basecoat to truly showcase the multicolor effects. The Aurora finish is quite durable when used alone, but the effect is enhanced with the application of our high-gloss topcoat that magnifies the effect.

To change the finished look, a Matte topcoat or even our rubbery soft touch EROS can be applied to provide a softer multicolored look.

Even though a curved surface best displays the color changes, a flat surface like on furniture and decorative objects can equally simulate color change especially when lighting is used to highlight the surface.

In the above images, we applied the standard Black Primer or basecoat paint to achieve the best contrast and color change. However, there are options for the basecoat color. If a White primer is used, this changes the saturation of the iridescent effect to offer softer tones. If you really want to mix-up the effect, you can try various colored backgrounds to understand how they impact the finished Iridescent colors.

These products are suggested for professional and industrial use as they are solvent-based spray paints applied with a spray gun or mixed air pump. They also have good resistance to UV light. AURORA DSA can be applied on these surfaces:

• Wood
• Metal such as Iron, Aluminium, Brass, etc.
• Plastic including ABS, ABS-PC, Nylon, etc.

For some plastic materials such as ABS and ABS-PC, it’s possible to apply the Aurora paint directly to the surface if the surface is in the correct base color. We always recommend to perform application tests to evaluate the adhesion and resistance.
