    Paint Project chameleon VL

    Painted my Emek to match my Viewloader Revolution. "If ya squint, it's mint"
    Rustoleum Colorshift Pink Champagne, not bad for in a can. I screwed myself at the end of the can, I didnt realize I was spraying more coat than paint, so it washed out white in some areas. Will sand it with 2000 and recoat later.

    I've used the blue green version of that a lot, and it's turned out really well. Here's some tips

    Use a dark primer, this paint really doesn't work if you put it on a lighter color.

    Multiple light coats are essential, build it up

    Use a clear top coat when done, I use Rust-Oleum crystal clear Enamle and it works well

      Trbo323 how long should it cure before the enamel coat? I've never had luck top coating, it always spiders or wrinkles.

        15, 20 minutes
        Again. Light coats are key

        And then I let it sit for at least 24 hours before handling it
