Createx Chameleon Question

I recently came into a nice stash of Chameleon Lilac, gold and Blue and had a question..........

The bottles have a "white" paint and then you can see the lilac stuff.... Is the white just a catalyst? Do I just spray it over the colors, i.e. over black, or gold and I'll only get the lilac or does the white stay...well...white?

I think I've been using this stuff wrong

You should only see the lilac. Works better over darker colors. Want to trade some of your Blue for some gold? I got a ton of the gold and could use some blue. P.

Shake it up some and the lilac will look whitish with a lilac tint to it. Paint a plug black, then fog the lilac on the belly for a cool burple color. The chamilion paints will stand out more when done over black. However, you can get some cool effects by spraying it over other colors. For example, hit the sides of a white or pearl plug with the lilac. Not real thick, just a thin line down the center. Once you clear coat, you'll see the lilac tint as you rotate the plug. Sort of like a bait fish with that lilac/purple hue as you rotate it.

Just use the Golden interference stuff. High quality product. Same effect but a little more costly. P.

Walmart sells chameleon paint in spray cans for under $10. You can find it in the automotive department. Well, at least the Walmart by me does.

I don't think it's the same stuff, though. The chameleon Createx used to put out gave you a great hue of a baitfish. Kid on like if you took a pogie and tilted it around a little, you'd get a little pink, blue read etc. The chameleon I found at Wally World was more of a bright paint, highly noticible, like you'd do a custom graphic with.

I am going to try that Golden stuff too and see how that does. More colors, although a little more expensive!
