the chameleon you are looking for is a paint, the prism additive that caswell sells isnt even in the same boat as the paint...but i do believe that caswell sells the dupli-color paints that are used for the chameleon effect, ive used the dupli rattle cans and its a three coat process, spendy but very nice...I believe they call it mirage now...

Hey Tjagger:
The Chamelion that Caswell sells it a solid color almost almond. I did the same thing, ordered some thinking it would change colors. Caswell does sell powders that change colors when looked at from different angles. They call them "Illusions". I have used both the Illusion emerald & amerthysts. Pretty nice stuff.
Good Luck
Bob

Default pattern designs

I've had several customers ask for pattern designs over the base color they have chosen.such as flames,my problem is when using a template the color will bleed under it,so i try'd cutting the design out of high temp tape,the adhesive from the tape melts into the base powder.not good ,anybody got a solution to correct this problem?
