SMS Effects Clear Prismatic Holographic Lacquer Paint (30ml)
SMS Effects Clear Prismatic (EFF05) is a specialist lacquer model paint that adds a holographic sheen over an existing solid paint colour. Designed as an effect finish rather than a conventional solid colour, Clear Prismatic allows you to introduce a holographic appearance to a painted surface without replacing the chosen base colour.
Part of the SMS Effects Paints range, this 30ml lacquer paint is formulated for airbrushing straight from the bottle. Apply it over any solid colour to create the holographic effect, then choose whether to leave the finish as it is or add a further clear coat for extra depth.
Create a Holographic Sheen Over Solid Colours
Clear Prismatic is designed to be applied over an existing solid colour, adding a holographic sheen as an additional finishing layer. The underlying colour remains part of the overall appearance, while the Clear Prismatic coating introduces the distinctive effect.
This approach gives you control over the base colour used beneath the holographic finish. Rather than choosing a separate holographic paint for each colour, Clear Prismatic can be applied over different solid colours to give them a holographic sheen.
The result is a decorative paint effect that adds another visual element to the original colour, making it suitable for modelling projects where a holographic surface finish is wanted.
Formulated for Direct Airbrush Application
SMS Effects lacquer paints are specifically formulated for airbrushing straight from the bottle. Clear Prismatic follows this approach, allowing the holographic effect to be applied directly over your chosen solid-colour finish.
Apply Clear Prismatic over the painted surface to introduce the holographic sheen. The finish can then be left as applied, or followed with an additional clear coat using SMS PL58 Super Clear.
Optional PL58 Super Clear Coat
For a finish with added depth, SMS recommends applying a further coat of PL58 Super Clear over Clear Prismatic. This is an optional finishing stage rather than a requirement for producing the holographic sheen.
Two finishing options are available:
- Holographic finish: Apply Clear Prismatic over any solid colour and leave the resulting sheen as the final finish.
- Additional depth: Apply a further clear coat using SMS PL58 Super Clear after the Clear Prismatic application.
