the paint is call Tri Coat. google will tell ya.

the locals call it chameleon paint.

best for zhnnnngggg my car enthusiasts.

you can get the similar effect with Nippon pearl spray cans.

Yummy!

yeah metallic tri coats / chameleons would be awesome i think. used to have dragon done in air brush few years ago in my JS100. The guy was doing paint jobs for gas tanks in Harleys. But that's in the Philippines. I was hopin there's somethin like that here in SG.
