Testing Vallejo Magic Dust Color Shift Paints

[@botarzoltan3206]

These are translucent colors, so the shifts come from the light reflected from the base, but also from the amount of light those can absorb. So it works on ANY really dark base, that is DIFFERENT, from the shifter colors. 👍 Also, if you guys build up too much the paint layers, more than 3 sometimes, it dulls the results, it stops being translucent and looses it's shifting ability. Love your reviews and tips!🤗

[@PapaNurgleLovesMe]

Hello there, I'm wondering will it dull if I paint gloss varnish or 2k varnish over it ?

[@botarzoltan3206]

It shouldn't, if the paint is completely dry. You should get a mirror finish, which is shinier than the paint itself.

[@PapaNurgleLovesMe]

@@botarzoltan3206 Nice! Thank you for your reply.

[@chuckspoor592]

Thank you so much for all of reviews of products and all of the tips. After taking a 20 year hiatus from modeling, so much has changed. There are so many different brands of every single product out there and thanks to your videos, it gives us great insight in how to wisely spend our money and choose the products we purchase based on our needs. I used to dread going to Hobby Lobby with the wife but I frequent there more then she does now a days. Thank you once again, keep up the good work. I pray for Holly’s speedy recovery and cannot wait for an update.

Great to hear Olly is on the mend and will be back home with his Dad soon. This range of shifters is I think the best of all 3 and really goes down easily. some great car colours there I think.

[@CrimsonFlagg]

I hope your dog gets better soon. He's such a handsome boi.

[@rendellhutchings6456]

Sorry your dog olly was at the vet, glad he'll be home tomorrow 😊 👍

Glad Ollie is out of the woods! Great looking paint, love it when it's something we can grab at an in person store when the desire hits us.

[@neilreddick3062]

So glad to see Olly on the mend!

[@everettmonroe3416]

Man, I have learned a lot from you regarding air brushing. I've never used acrylic paint before, only enamel paints. At one time I was building plastic car/trucks kits, when I had the space. Now, I'm customizing hot wheels. Never had a compressors, only can air and rattle cans. I'm looking forward to getting a shed for my hobbies. Maybe one day I can afford some nice air brushes and compressor. Thanks for the tips, a lot of your information, I use on my diecasts.

I have the Galaxy Dust set but plan to get the others eventually. A friend of mine suggested trying them over metallic bases but I've not tried that yet.

I've had all three sets for a while, my chief complaint is they are sold only in sets. So if you have a favorite color and run out, you're SOL unless you buy another whole set. Glad to hear that Olly is going to be alright. They are truly man's best friend.

[@millar876]

I have managed to get individual Vallejo shifter colours over here in the uk. Maybe because it’s a European brand it’s easier to ship small nos of individual colours here

[@raistlarn]

This is the reason why I'm not using them for my 40k army.

[@marcelfab7551]

If you spend enough time on Ebay, you can find single colors! Because some colors are more popular than others you might have trouble getting the ones you want!

[@gearhead8469]

[@millar876]

I spray in my living room (only space I have) and I’ve just packed away my booth for the holidays, so I’m going to have to make do with only watching your videos until I can start building and painting in mid January. I top coated my daughters HG full armour unicorn with the Vallejo green blue violet shifter. It doesn’t really show too much, but with those colours and the angles of the unicorn, when light hits it, it gives a nice slight sparkle over the white that compliments the Green psycho frame

[@Leadfootkurtis]

Super happy for Olly! Thank you for your channel sir! Sounds like that would be a cool album!

[@cameroncorrosive925]

@11:40 the shift on the white spoon looked like a raw egg without the shell layer. go back and watch the footage the shift is the yolk in the center bouncing kind of. very subtle effect for something totally different lol.

[@Steve_8341]

Thanks for doing this, I have the space dust set and absolutely love it

Just ordered all 3 sets Monday from Micro Mark 20% off cyber Monday. Can't wait for them to get here.

[@vanthdreadstar8039]

Great to hear that Olly is doing well. I've used two of your tips in the last week. Bought a cat scratch from the dollar store to hold my wooden sticks with clips. And, I used your decanting spray paint tip with Rustoleum paint for plastic, and worked like a charm! Better than using a straw!

[@barbatosrex9473]

That's awesome dude. Glad I could help

[@DanielRaffetyJr]

Very happy to hear Olly is doing better and is home. Having just gone through some stuff with my puppies, I know all to well how good it feels to know they're healthy and back home. ❤️ These color shifts are pretty cool looking, always good to know what works and what is just "eh." i might need to pick some up to use on a car and figure gk. Looking forward to another tool video as well. Anything that makes the hobby easier and keeps it fun, I'm all for. Again, thanks for another informative video. 👍

[@dorsk84]

I use these shifts over color "matched" clear parts on my Gundam kits. Helps with the "energized" look. Like a red shift paint on the Unicorn clear parts. I also use them on some of my Warhammer kits for the Force weapons or anything "magical"

[@stefanolsson1895]

Get well Ollly! 😍

[@dragoonzen]

Glade to hear he is going to be okay.

[@FJA---]

I find these and every other color shift I've tried, work really well over the Vallejo Gloss Black primer. It makes the Turbo Dork Turboshift paints really show their stuff.

[@MrBobafett5566]

thx ...another instructive vid... and prompt recovery for puppy

[@GKfromCanada]

So glad to hear that your furry buddy is coming home in good shape. It’s always tough to have a member of the family sick. Great review. I agree with others who don’t like buying these in sets. Vallejo should consider selling these separately just like all their other paints, which may also be in convenient sets.

[@thermoshok]

glad to hear olly is coming home. when will the neon liners be back in stock?

[@guywilson187]

Hi. Hope your dog is home soon. Cool review, thanks. Quick question, are these paints opaque or translucent? Could they be sprayed over a clear canopy or would they fog it up? Thanks.

hope olly will be back to their old self when you get em home!

[@ulisesfreytes7287]

Way to go, Olly!

[@patrickvandenberk9192]

I know it is an older video but I was wondering if you have some advice for a newbie here. I tried this line from Vallejo, specifically the Red/Gold over a gloss black primer for a miniature car. It unfortunately isn’t red/gold. I used it mostly unthinned with an airbrush. Any advice? Should I use a different base layer or apply multiple coats? Hope you see this comment. Thank you in advance!

[@barbatosrex9473]

This sounds strange, the base is fine. It has to be shaken really well. Have you tried it over red primer?

[@stuartbarham3958]

Hi, I love your videos, I recently started airbrushing Slot car body shells, would the colour shift still be effective with a gloss clear coat?

[@erix5184]

I haven't tried it with the Vallejo shifters, but i did a car with a TurboDork color shift (also water based acrylic) and i still got the color shift after i cleared it. With anything though I'd try it on a spoon or something first.

[@charlesfavano7424]

i have all three on my xmass list hope santa sends me them plus i hopr i catch your give a way when i find ur videos its days later this time only a few hours fingers crossed i truly love your videos very helpful thank you

[@lastshadow9351]

Great! I'm glad your dog is doing better! Pets can be rough and sometimes we're more attached to them than friends and family. I don't know if you've ever watched Dip Your Car on KZbin, but they test a ton of pearls and shift powders and do some interesting things. They use a lot of powders from KP pigments, but unfortunately the smallest amount they come in is 5g, which is overkill for small scale stuff. The colors are so good though I'm thinking about getting in touch with them to see if they might offer a smaller amount for modelers. The Vallejo shifts are nice, but it is confusing with so many different ones and some just have slight differences.

[@gregsdronefootage3298]

Don't need thinner with these or any of Vallejo Colorshift. Been spraying these without thinner with a .2 and .3 tip, no clogging or anything; they're already pretty liquidy. I've actually sprayed my car with color shifting pearls once upon a time when I painting cars before my son was born. My fishing rods and reels are actually the same pearl as my car so it blends at all angles. Now the pearls that appear as white they're actually called white/interference pearls. When spraying on white, they give you a pearlescent glow of that colorwhen the light hits them. I have a bag of blue interference pearl in my garage that i was supposed to give to a friend years ago, but never happened. I could essentially mix these in a clear acrylic acrylic and they will do the same. If you do too many layers over a black surface, they will "white-out" and you'll lose the effect.

Good news for your dog but gosh bad news you had to go thru stuff in order to find out he was ok all along. I was gonna buy these at some point cause I had bought the Micheal Keaton Batmobile and it shows a bit of a purple shim to it or hue and kinda been holding off cause I got to prime it Black and hope it gave enough of a purple hue to it without it going too overboard and ruining that black sleekness.

[@gabrielmaria2762]

Can you use acrylic paints for die-cast models? (Paint strip them and repaint - or sand the top coat and paint over it) what primer do you need. I'm looking for a non-toxic way of painting die-cast. Thank you!

[@barbatosrex9473]

Sure you can. Any primer will work also. If your looking for an acrylic primer I'd go with Stynylrez. They're my favorite acrylic primer. I did a full video on them
