Rust-Oleum 372478 Specialty Color Shift Spray Paint, 11 oz, Green Copper

We really like the effect of this paint. It’s important to note that the instructions clearly state to use in a black background. I did not read the instructions and was confused when the paint sprayed a clear color on my white butterfly.

This gorgeous spray paint ! It has a beautiful green turquoise blue gold coloring all in One and when the sunshine on it. It’s different colors but it’s color is absolutely gorgeous. No wonder. There’s only a few in stock. But if you need this color is kind of metallic green color, this is your paint. It is absolutely gorgeous.

Tl;dr - Do your prep work, follow the instructions, and be proud of your results! Read on for my full review including supplies and tips. My oldest has been riding an adult-sized bicycle since she was maybe 8- or 9-years-old. It’s the same bike she’s still been riding now at 16, though it’s been looking pretty worse-for-wear these days. I couldn’t see buying a new one, since she liked hers just fine and it still worked well. So we spent the money restoring it instead. She chose this paint in the Green-Copper finish. It looks AMAZING! We paid about $22 for two cans of this paint, and about $50 for the primer, clear enamel, and the sandpaper - a good value opposed to a new bicycle, thus also saving a perfectly good item from the junkyard. I can’t speak to the durability yet, but we sprayed over this color-shift paint with several light coats (about three full coats) of clear enamel to protect it and then let the full finish cure for a week before reassembling the bike. I hope that preserves the finish for some time. Here’s what we used for her 26” cruiser-style bike which included the frame, fork, fenders, and chain guard (all products purchased on Amazon): - 3M Wetordry 600-grit automotive sandpaper - 2 cans Rust-OleumPainter’s Touch 2X Ultra Cover Flat Black Primer - 2 cans Rust-Oleum Color Shift Paint in Green-Copper (this product) - 2 cans Rust-Oleum Crystal Clear Enamel Other items we used: razor blade scraper for decal removal, painter’s tape, N95 respirator masks, and vented safety goggles. Tips for success: - Even though we worked outside, this paint seemed like it had particularly strong fumes, so we still wore goggles and masks. - Do a good job on your prep work - scraping and sanding until very smooth; very nearly or down to the metal before priming, and definitely use two coats of flat black primer. The multi-faceted finish of this color-shift paint brings out any boo-boos you make. There were a few spots we noticed afterward that we wished we’d paid a little more attention to. That said, they were barely noticeable unless you looked really closely. We’re perfectionists, for perspective. - Though we used just over a can of primer for two coats, and about a can-and-a-half of clear enamel for 3 coats, we used the entirety of both cans of this specialty paint and it just *barely* covered the frame to our satisfaction - about two light coats. In the future, I would err on the safe side and buy a third can. - This paint is very thin and runny. Follow the directions and paint about 14”-16” inches away from your project or it runs and drips leaving streaky results in the paint job. - Shake the can THOROUGHLY before starting, and shake nearly CONTINUOUSLY between sprays, otherwise the glittery particles can obstruct the nozzle, leading to chunky droplets and drips in your paint job. If you’re curious, the cream-walled brown tires, the brown wire baskets (both front and rear), grips, seat, cup/phone holder, and triangular frame bag were all purchased through Amazon as well.

I put a brown base before applying the paint,

JUST PERFECT! Used this for my Halloween costume headpiece and it worked out great. The shine and sparkle is perfect. 😍
