Review Testors Color Shift Spray Cans - Great Results !!

There website states its a craft paint and does not list plastic except for a rc video. Boo 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎

I don't know how you have the time to keep pumping out all this info, but it is much appreciated. I'm not a great fan of color shift paints however I'm looking forward to your upcoming tests of the SMS chameleon range (gotta be good coming from Aussie). I've used a few of their lacquers and a couple of their color shifts and pearls and they spray really well. Their support here is also fantastic. Congrats on your own range coming soon so good to see how far you have come from when I first subbed and you had like a few hundred subs.

Dang some of those looked better than I expected. Thanks for the test!

Also, congrats on the paint line. Looking forward to seeing them!

Glad Testors are still around, it has nice products witch I would love to try but they are not easy to get in Norway.

When I used the Blue Galaxy to paint my RoboCop figure I had to put on 3-4 coats to get the full colorshift effect. Spraying only 1-2 coats is too dark but 3-4 you get the full blue to green metallic colorshift effect.

Did I miss where you sprayed these over a spoon with Tamiya TS-14 gloss black?

As always great video and information. I always enjoy watching your paint testing content. When I went on looking for a good chrome, your test videos saved me quite a bit of time, money, and heartache lol. Keep up the great work my friend!!

Hey there! What primer do you use before using acrylics? I'm looking to airbrush my gunpla. Do you prefer cans or your airbrush to apply the primer?

I'm not sure whats going on with your sould mix this video, mate. Your voice is only coming out of my left headphone speaker, the right side is just static noise. It's definitely your sound mix because I hear sound from the right side whenever you move something to that side? Weird, it's not a interest killer but it is weird to get used to, especially when you're at the spray booth!
Edited due to snumerous selling mistakes, bloody tablet,!

It needs to be painted on a flat surface to show the real effects

Sorry, Rex, WAY too much waste using spray cans. Or, decant for airbrush use.

Smoke-on-the-water/“deep purple” = Pink champagne (on ice)/Eagles?
Thanks for showing the paints on the butter knives and kit parts,to show effects on various surface shapes.

LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!
Big request... Id love to see rit dye airbrushed on wood.. Then clearcoated. A nice fade would be epic! I've heard that an iwatta will spray rit just fine.. but your gun for sure will.

Can this be decant and spray on the airbrush?

I'd recommend working on your audio levels there, maybe a different mic setup. Good video though! I had good result from the Emerald Turqoise, and I picked up the Blue Galaxy later to experiement, and WOW the Blue Galaxy sucks! I'm glad you had the same issue. It's so dark and very little color saturation, mostly just glitter!

Florescent bulbs over your head shows the shift difference.. phenomenal 🤝🏽😎

How would a matte topcoat/finish look on these?

I did the purple on my 24 inch rims and Its lovely I get comments all the time on them

Do you recommend 2 coats of the color shift or is one enough

Did you try brushing the Badger paint?

great video, didnt waste any time got to the point and answered all the questions that came up

This video has helped me save alot of $, so thank you! BTW, I liked the way the paint looked over the Chrome, and wow, did I have a hard time finding it! The black base is all over the place, but not Chrome, so could they have stopped making it already?? Found it on ebay and got pretty hosed, price-wise.

Testers is made by Rust-Oleum

why wait paint on butter knives in spoons do a bike frame

Just picked some up! Didn't know I needed a base so I'll go pick some up when I'm ready to paint my build

I’m looking for purple and black, or similar. Have you found anything like that?

That's it I'm sold. 🌈❤️ Thanks for testing!!

Thank you so much for sharing!

this was exactly what I was looking for thank you! deep purple..lol...I said it too lol! im glad you did them on different colors..thats what I needed to see. that purple and galaxy are amazing! I gotta go check out the sms vid next..chameleon color..thats sounds kool!!

I use a lot of color changing paint. This is really good

Hi…. Wonderful channel. I am now trying to get into airbrushing (haven’t started yet, now acquiring the tools) however I find your channel so informative. Anyway, I do have a request if it pleases you, can you test the “Testors Extreme Lacquers” please? Keep up the good work, one of the best channels I am following.

Excellent vid! As a follow-up vid, could you throw some clear options on top? I'm looking to shoot some Green Copper on a bike, want to know if a matte clear will work, specifically the Testors Dullcote in the can.

Wish they made a pink one :(

Can you tell me if these color shift paints are enamel or lacquer? I’m doing a buddy build and both of us are doing different colors of the shift paint. I want to clear mine to add a high gloss if possible. Thanks

Did a hot rod truck in these. Love the way they look

Thank u for this

How well do these work over a normal black basecoat, or do you need the color shift base coat for it to work?

What can you clear over these with?; it doesn't say on the can What kind of paint it is?

Great video sir!

That purple is really nice. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the video. I'm building a plastic diesel truck and going with the purple fog.....

The purple sunrise is the same name and shift as the Rust-Oleum Imagine line of color shift w metal flake. It throws exactly the same as well. Interesting.

Wasn't following your channel at the time of this vid but I was sure it had to be here.

Awesome demo!!!

What is a SAFE clear to use over these?

@Barbatos Rex: Only just came across your channel, but noticed that in this video, you missed out on showcasing 3 color shift paints from Testors. Iridescent Shimmer, Emerald Turquoise, and Turquoise Waters. I will say that of the options seen here, and from personal testing on my BattleTech miniatures, Pink Champagne, Emerald Turquoise, and Blue Galaxy are my favorite. I plan on getting the Iridescent Shimmer, Purple Fog, Green Copper, and Turquoise Waters to finish off the collection for testing and future paint jobs.

While the name 'Testors' still exists, which (if any) colors they actually make themselves is questionable. Did example, the entire "Color Shift" line is actually made by Rust-Oleum. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as Testors it's not the only company doing this. Perfect example would be the spray & airbrush paints sold under the Traxxas & Pro-Line names, neither of which are actually made be Traxxas, or Pro-Line (and, truth be told, the Traxxas-branded spray paints are outstanding).

So the "base" cans are the primer as well? Or do I need to primer , then base , then color shift ?

Can i use this on laxan rc body

I wonder if those testors basecoat cans would work with chrome over it??
