How to Use Color Shift Paints from Green Stuff World

In this video I experiment with color shift paints, and mess around with them to get some interesting results.
I have always found the color shift paints pretty interesting, and have seem some amazing models done with them. But I have always had a slight issue with them in that I have not really seen a good way to highlight or shade them. Because of that, I was turned off on using them. That is until I decided to pick up my airbrush and mess around with them along side a few other paints.
All color shift paints used here are from the Green Stuff World Colorshift Metal Set 2, and the silver and Peridot Alchemy I used are from Scale 75.
As always, please feel free to comment below or reach out to me on Instagram if you have any questions on my schemes, or have a suggestion for other tutorials you would like to see me do.

Best colour shift video 😮 I've seen.

@AmnioticlyTanked Месяц назад

Wow, thanks!

@Exterality Месяц назад

For anyone finding this video, the real tricks to these paints are: 0. black primer and gloss black primer over soon to be colour shift parts 1. first coat colour slow over black gloss primer 2. then multiple thick coats 3. treat the colours as subclasses of metal paints 4. they works as well as a highlight and shadow effect if used on top of other metal paints

The reason why colors like these or metallics look better on glossy surfaces is because of the microscopic properties of gloss. To put it simply, a matt surface has a lot of ridges and valleys which will be filled with whatever paint you layer on top. This results in a uneven coverage and thus the light that hits the surface doesn't bounce very well. A glossy surface on the other hand is pretty much completely even and smooth which results in a even coverage and thus the color on top will be much more reflective.

This deserves a lot more views, keep it going!

@AmnioticlyTanked 2 года назад

Thank you! Been slowly building up my channel over the past few months and seeing the results! I have a new video coming out each week though and will certainly keep it up.

@tomrea4586 2 года назад

Thank you for doing this, I picked up a bottle to use on my 'crons and this vid will help a lot.

@AmnioticlyTanked 2 года назад

Happy to help! I have always struggled what to do with these paints and im glad I recorded this to help others out. What color did you pick up for your crons?

@tomrea4586 2 года назад

@@AmnioticlyTanked Pretty boring actually ... cobalt blue.

@alanpreston1822 Год назад

Planning to use some of these on my Tyranid carapaces, similar to the iradescence of beetle carapaces.

@AmnioticlyTanked Год назад

Funny you mentioned that, I was just eye balling up a carnifex to do a video on the same. which color are you thinking about using for the carapace?

@chriskeith-im1pl 7 месяцев назад

Great video thanks for the info and keeping the video short and to the point ❤

@Tonisbookshelf 2 года назад

Thank you for the thorough testing!

@AmnioticlyTanked 2 года назад

My pleasure. I had not really seen many experiments with color shift paints and additional steps before, so figure that other people might appreciate my process. Any other kinda esoteric hobby materials out there that you'd like to see tested out in a similar manner?

@Tonisbookshelf 2 года назад

@@AmnioticlyTanked well while we’re on the topic, vallejo has their colour shifting line. Maybe that? Different acrylic mediums for textures?

@michaelsorensen7567 2 года назад

Thoughts: Last test, "bluish color" blue is a very "strong" color so it's not surprising it overpowered the yellow in the green. "What's the colorshift paint made of?" No expert, but my guess is colored inks with colored metallic particles. Light hits the metal particles you see that, it reflects off the ink (or whatever transparent paint) you see that color. Would potentially explain why gloss is essential, as without it you won't reflect through the transparent bits as much. 🤷‍♂️ Outro: perhaps tease the next vid? Would alter your publishing schedule, but either a pixelated screen grab of your next project or maybe a super macro shot so nobody knows what model it is kinda thing?

@redline3090 2 года назад

Good tests. Thanks!

@AmnioticlyTanked 2 года назад

Happy you found this interesting! It's a bit of a stretch from my normal videos, but I've always liked experimenting with different ways of painting and figured this was worth sharing.

Lookin good!

from personal experience they shine on large flat, or smooth curves. their effect just doesnt scale well for anything small. Ive done both dark eldar planes, in the purple one, they look absolutely amazing. im part way through 40 ish noise marines and 3 spiders, in the same color with gold as the highlight color. because the marines have convex surfaces they look pinkish, and the dark eldar because they are mostly concave look dark green with the flash of the purple. you can play with other base colors like you did the silver, and you can get some very cool effects. ive use the GW gel glows under them and they create some really indescribable results. also they look pretty wild over transparent plastic or resin like canopies, or the weapon fx 3d prints.

@HeinekenBaron 2 года назад

Very interesting!

@AmnioticlyTanked 2 года назад

Glad you like it! The video is not doing super great compared to my others that are more a straight forward guide on how I paint certain schemes, but I think I am going to keep doing things like this as I find it interesting to experiment.

@MechbossBoogie Год назад

Liked and making a comment for the algorithm. But also, I was looking for something like this for a paint scheme on some slaanesh daemons to make them more sparkly and less purple.

@AmnioticlyTanked Год назад

yeessssss, feed the algo! I think you're onto something there, and I'd love to see how these color shift paints work on more organic models like deamons.

@MechbossBoogie Год назад

@@AmnioticlyTanked I've seen people use them on Alien models before and they look really nice. I imagine getting a similar effect on daemons. Maybe try some nurgle models with the greens, too.

@ErgonomicChair 7 месяцев назад

Would this stuff or Turbodork work on lenses? Like, scopes, crisis suit heads, etc???

@surtrpicks Год назад

They color changers have me curious but like you been thinking of how to use. Going alpha legion first I think with that storm surge green…..and there was another that had green purple shift to zenith highlight or shade …….working on it still….

@AmnioticlyTanked Год назад

I think that would work pretty well. I just think I would do the storm surge green, zenithal highlight of black again maybe, and then the purple to green shift? IDK, these paints are weird

@christosvozikis881 Год назад

Ι wonder why it gives this textured/frosty surface though and if there is a way to smooth it out. Otherwise it does look awesome!

@AmnioticlyTanked Год назад

I think is because of the metallic pigments in the color shift paint. I see the same thing happening as well when I airbrush on metallic paints as the pigments are just a little bit larger than non-metallic ones, which cause some texture when photographed up close.

@matthewanderson5329 11 месяцев назад

Did you varnish the paint before applying the oil wash?

@AmnioticlyTanked 11 месяцев назад

Not on these guys. I normally do though as it make the oils easier to wipe off

@adamthompson626 Год назад

I found washes dont work well when painting wavey surrfaces. Sharp corners could work, but if it's too curvey, it just kills the colorshift. the armor shown looks good with the wash but if a wash was applied to the cape, it would look terrible.
