View All Spaz StixSpaz Stix Colour Change Gold / Green Aerosol Paint creates a dramatic chameleon finish that shifts between gold and green as the viewing angle and lighting conditions change. Designed primarily for clear polycarbonate RC car and truck bodies, this translucent effect paint delivers a striking custom appearance that changes as the vehicle moves.
For the intended effect on a clear RC body painted from the inside, apply a fine mist of Spaz Stix Surface Pre-Prep first, followed by several light, even coats of Colour Change paint. Once the effect layer is uniform, apply Spaz Stix High Gloss Black Backer behind it. The dark backing colour develops the depth and intensity required for the Gold / Green colour shift to stand out.

FAQ
What colours does Spaz Stix SZX05409 shift between? The finish shifts between gold and green depending on the viewing angle and lighting conditions.
Is Gold / Green Colour Change an opaque paint? No. It is a translucent effect paint. It will initially appear very clear and faint when sprayed, with the finished effect developing through multiple light coats and the required dark backing colour.
Why does the paint look transparent when first applied? This is normal for Spaz Stix Colour Change paint. Several light coats are required to build an even effect, and the colour becomes significantly more pronounced after the black backing coat is applied.
Does SZX05409 require a black backer? Yes. Spaz Stix recommends a black backer for the best Colour Change effect. The darker the colour behind the effect layer, the stronger the resulting colour shift.
Which black backer should I use? Spaz Stix specifies High Gloss Black Backer SZX00110 or SZX00119 for its Colour Change paint system.
Should I use Surface Pre-Prep? Yes. Spaz Stix recommends applying a fine mist of Surface Pre-Prep SZX90050 or SZX90059 before the Colour Change paint. This helps reduce fingerprints and undesirable swirls that could affect the finished effect.
What is the correct painting order for a clear RC body? When painting inside clear polycarbonate, apply a fine mist of Surface Pre-Prep first, followed by several light coats of Gold / Green Colour Change paint. Once the effect is even, apply High Gloss Black Backer behind it.
Should I apply heavy coats? No. Colour Change paints should be built gradually using several light, even coats. Heavy application can produce runs or uneven areas that remain visible in the finished effect.
Can I use a backing colour other than black? A different dark colour may alter the finished appearance, but Spaz Stix recommends black for the best results. In general, darker backing colours produce a stronger Colour Change effect.
Can this paint be used for external applications? Yes, but the application sequence must be reversed. Apply the backing colour as the base coat first, followed by the Colour Change paint, then protect the finished surface with a suitable clear coat such as Spaz Stix SZX90109.
