Spaz Stix Color Change Holographic Paint, Aerosol 3.5oz 104ml Can SZX05809

Spaz Stix Holographic Color Change Aerosol Paint creates a dramatic multi-colour holographic effect on clear polycarbonate RC car and truck bodies. The finished colour appears dark, almost black, while reflecting colours across the spectrum as the viewing angle and lighting change. The effect becomes especially noticeable in natural sunlight.

Holographic Color Change is a translucent effect paint and requires a specific application process for best results. Spaz Stix recommends first applying a fine mist of Surface Pre-Prep, followed by several light coats of Holographic Color Change. Once an even effect has been achieved, the paint must be backed with Spaz Stix High Gloss Black/Backer to bring out the full holographic colour shift.

FAQ

What does Spaz Stix Holographic Color Change look like? The finished paint appears dark or almost black but reflects colours across the spectrum as light and viewing angles change. The holographic effect is especially noticeable in natural sunlight.

Is SZX05809 an opaque paint? No. Holographic Color Change is highly translucent and sprays on very clear. Several light coats are required to build an even effect before the black backing colour is applied.

Does Holographic Color Change require a black backer? Yes. Spaz Stix specifies High Gloss Black/Backer SZX00110 or SZX00119 after the Holographic Color Change layer when painting inside clear polycarbonate. The black backing brings out the full colour-shifting effect.

Should I use Surface Pre-Prep before applying SZX05809? Yes. Spaz Stix recommends applying a fine mist of Surface Pre-Prep SZX90050 or SZX90059 before the Holographic Color Change paint. This helps eliminate fingerprints and undesirable swirls that could affect the finished appearance.

Why does the paint look almost clear when first sprayed? This is normal. Holographic Color Change is intentionally translucent. Apply several light coats until the effect is even, then add the required black backing colour to reveal its full depth.

Should I spray heavy coats to build the effect faster? No. Several light, controlled coats provide the best results. Heavy application can create an uneven effect or distort the holographic appearance.

What is the correct order for painting inside a clear RC body? Apply a fine mist of Surface Pre-Prep first, followed by several light coats of Holographic Color Change. Once the effect is even, apply High Gloss Black/Backer behind it.

Can Holographic Color Change be used externally? Yes, but the application order changes. For external applications, apply the black backer as the base coat first, followed by the Holographic Color Change paint. A suitable clear coat such as SZX90109 is then required to protect the finish and achieve a high-lustre appearance.

Important Notes

• Holographic Color Change is translucent and will initially appear very clear
• Use Spaz Stix Surface Pre-Prep SZX90050 or SZX90059 before applying the effect paint
• Apply only a fine mist of Surface Pre-Prep
• Build the Holographic Color Change effect using several light, even coats
• For internally painted clear polycarbonate bodies, High Gloss Black/Backer SZX00110 or SZX00119 must be applied behind the Color Change paint
• Do not judge the final colour before the black backer has been applied
• For external applications, apply the black backing colour first, followed by Holographic Color Change and a suitable protective clear coat
• Test compatibility before applying to surfaces other than polycarbonate
• Use with appropriate ventilation and follow all safety instructions printed on the aerosol can
• Aerosol paint may be subject to dangerous-goods shipping restrictions
