Spaz Stix Colour Change Gold Red Polycarbonate RC Paint Aerosol 3.5oz SZX05309

Spaz Stix Colour Change Gold / Red Aerosol Paint creates a dramatic chameleon finish that shifts between gold and red as the viewing angle and lighting conditions change. Designed primarily for clear polycarbonate RC car and truck bodies, this translucent effect paint delivers a distinctive custom appearance that becomes especially noticeable in natural sunlight.

For clear polycarbonate bodies painted from the inside, apply a fine mist of Spaz Stix Surface Pre-Prep first, followed by several light, even coats of Gold / Red Colour Change paint. Once the effect layer is even, apply Spaz Stix High Gloss Black/Backer behind it to develop the full depth, intensity and colour-shifting effect.

FAQ

What colours does Spaz Stix SZX05309 shift between? The finish shifts between gold and red as the viewing angle and lighting change. The chameleon effect is particularly noticeable under natural sunlight.

Is Gold / Red Colour Change an opaque paint? No. It is a translucent effect paint. It sprays on very clear and the colour initially appears faint before additional coats and the required black backing colour develop the finished effect.

Why does SZX05309 look almost clear when first sprayed? This is normal. Spaz Stix Colour Change paints are designed to build gradually. Apply several light, even coats until the effect is consistent, then add the required black backer.

Does SZX05309 require a black backing colour? Yes. Spaz Stix specifies High Gloss Black/Backer SZX00110 or SZX00119 to make the Colour Change effect stand out. A dark backing colour is important for achieving maximum depth and colour shift.

Can I use a different backing colour? A different backer can alter the finished appearance, but Spaz Stix recommends sticking with black for the best results. In general, darker backing colours produce a stronger Colour Change effect.

Should I use Spaz Stix Surface Pre-Prep? Yes. Apply a fine mist of Surface Pre-Prep SZX90050 or SZX90059 before the Colour Change paint. This helps reduce fingerprints and unwanted swirls that could affect the final finish.

What is the correct painting order for a clear polycarbonate RC body? Apply Surface Pre-Prep first, followed by several light coats of Gold / Red Colour Change paint. Once the effect is even, apply High Gloss Black/Backer behind it.

How much black backer should I apply? For interior polycarbonate applications, approximately 2–3 light coats of Spaz Stix High Gloss Black/Backer are recommended behind the Colour Change layer.

Should I spray heavy coats to make the effect stronger? No. Several light, controlled coats provide a more even result. Heavy coats can cause runs and uneven effect distribution that may remain visible in the finished body.

Can SZX05309 be used for external painting? Yes, but the application sequence changes. For an external application, apply High Gloss Black/Backer first, followed by Gold / Red Colour Change paint, then seal and protect the finish with Spaz Stix SZX90109 clear coat.

Can it be used on surfaces other than polycarbonate? Spaz Stix formulates its paints primarily for clear polycarbonate RC car and truck bodies. Compatibility should be tested before using the paint on other materials.
