Chameleon color is an iridescent color that changes its hue depending on the angle of vision and the way the light hits it, creating a unique visual effect, as the guitar never looks the same.
It is therefore an ideal color for guitarists looking for a distinctive look. This color stands out for its bright appearance, with shades ranging from greens and blues to purples and golds.
IMPORTANT: Before applying this color it is necessary that the guitar has a coat of black (Black Gloss or Deep Black). The color layers should be finished with sufficient clear gloss topcoats.
For an average guitar body, one can will be sufficient, for a larger guitar or a bass, you will probably need two.
Use:
Shake well before use.
Sand the object until grain 400, use a grain filler for open pore woods.
The last sanding should be in the direction of the grain until all scratches have been removed.
Remove dust and greasy residue and apply a black lacquer such as the black gloss or deep black to create a solid base for the chameleon to shine. 1 or 2 coats will be required.
After that, spray the color layers. An experienced hand can create an even and full coat in one layer, most need two layers.
Finally apply the transparent top coats in gloss.
Apply in total between 9-12 full layers to account for sanding and polishing. Spray maximum 3 layers per day with 60 minutes in between and allow 24 hours to dry before applying the next 3 layers. Sand lightly between coats for the best bond.
After the last 3 layers, let cure for 2 weeks minimum.
Clean the nozzle after use by inverting the can and spray for 3-5 seconds.
Make sure to use a fine dust mask and spray in a well-ventilated area. Recommended temperature between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius.
