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.

Due to the colour limitations of the web the colours shown here are only an approximation of the actual colour. To see the actual colour or effect look at the bottom of a Faskolor bottle after giving it a shake in your local modelshop.
