Fasflip colours are applied over the top of a base
colour and create a metalflake finish with a change of
colour when viewed from different angles. As a general
rule three or four light coats are needed before spraying
on the base colour but it's a case of the more you put
on , the stronger the colour will be. Dark colours work
best as bases with black creating the most dramaticfinisht,
but all colours will create their own individual effect,
it's up to you to experiment and find out what you like
best.
Maple changes from gold through bronze with a bit of green
on the way, Jade goes from green to gold, Scarabeus changes
from blue to green and Sapphire changes from a dark blue
to whatever the base colour is.
If it's the first time you have used a particular type
of paint it's always a good idea to have a try out on a
scrap piece of lexan to get the effect right. Keep all
the old offcuts from bodies, they're great for this.
Use Fasflip straight out of the bottle, no thinning is
necessary. With a gravity or side feed airbrush the paint
can be squeezed out of the bottle (it has a cap and nozzle
like a washing up liquid bottle)straight into the colour
cup. With bottom feed airbrushes the original paint bottle
can be filled or the Faskolor bottle adaptor (part no 402420)
can be used. This screws straight onto the top of the Faskolor
bottle and plugs into the bottom of the airbrush in the
paint feed hole.
Spray at a pressure of between 50 and 70 psi laying down
light coats drying each one with a hairdryer before applying
the next.
