Our chameleon flakes are unfortunately the only product we sell that cannot be used in powder coating, because the heat threshold will not tolerate the powder coating ovens. We highly recommend these flakes and we recommend that people mix them at about 1 heaping tablespoon per quart of base clear, and use a quality clear top coat to spray over the flake, as our other chameleons. Our chameleon paint flakes can be sprayed over a white base, but not to achieve a color-change paint effect, but to achieve more of an abalone shell sparkle effect. They are truly a color changing flake, with different color effects depending on the light and angle that you see them. With our chameleon paint flakes we also ask that painters use a black base coat for overall color changing effects. Good quality clear coat is always a recommendation when custom painting.

I noticed the differences in the Gloss Black enamel spray paint starting around the early-mid 1990's, and it has gotten worse from there. This is a shame as the original 1960's/1970's Testors Gloss Black spray was fabulous - nearly foolproof, no orange peel, quick to dry, and terrific glossiness.
