SMS Colour Shift Extreme Solar Flare Red/Orange/Gold (30ml)
SMS Colour Shift Extreme Solar Flare (CN19) is a 30ml acrylic lacquer paint designed to produce a distinctive colour-changing effect. Combining red, orange and gold tones, Solar Flare reflects light differently depending on the angle from which the painted surface is viewed.
Unlike a conventional single-colour finish, the appearance of Solar Flare changes as the viewing angle shifts. The red, orange and gold tones create a finish that responds to light and movement, making the colour-shifting effect the main feature of the paint.
Part of the SMS Effects Paints collection, Solar Flare belongs to the Colour Shift Extreme range of acrylic lacquer paints.
Red, Orange and Gold Colour Shift Effect
Solar Flare combines three colour tones within one specialist paint finish. The visible balance between red, orange and gold changes according to the viewing angle, giving the painted surface a different appearance as it is observed from different positions.
The effect comes from the way the paint reflects light rather than from applying three separate colours. This makes Solar Flare particularly useful for painting projects where the changing appearance of the finish is an important part of the intended result.
As the viewing position changes, different tones become more noticeable. The result is a colour-shifting surface rather than a fixed red, orange or gold finish.
Recommended Base Coat and Spray Pressure
SMS recommends applying Colour Shift Extreme Solar Flare over a base coat of PL30 Jet Black for the best results. The recommended spraying pressure is 10-15 PSI.
The black base coat forms an important part of the recommended application method for this colour shift paint. Using the specified base colour and spray pressure provides the recommended starting point for producing the intended Solar Flare effect.

Colour Shift Extreme Acrylic Lacquer
Solar Flare is part of the Scale Modellers Supply paint range. Its defining characteristic is the way the finish changes appearance as light reflects from the painted surface at different viewing angles.
For the recommended red, orange and gold colour-shifting finish, apply Solar Flare over PL30 Jet Black and spray at 10-15 PSI. The finished appearance will vary with the viewing angle, allowing the three Solar Flare tones to become more or less prominent as the surface is viewed from different positions.
