Testors Color Shift Paints

Explore Testors Color Shift paints for custom hobby finishes with changing visual effects. These specialty colors offer a different direction for model cars, display projects and other compatible surfaces.

Choose Supplies Around Your Build

The base finish, lighting and viewing angle can influence how an effect paint looks. Follow the specific product instructions for surface preparation, recommended base coats and application. Test your planned finish on spare material so you can judge the effect before painting the model.

Test the Effect Before Painting the Model

An effect finish should be evaluated as a complete system. Use a spare part or test piece with the recommended preparation and base finish, then inspect it under the lighting in which the model will be displayed. This helps you decide whether the color effect suits the shape and scale of the subject.

Do not infer a required base color or top coat from the appearance of a product photo. Check the directions for the exact Color Shift item. If the build uses decals or multiple paint systems, test their compatibility as part of the same sequence. Keep a record of the products used so a later repair or matching part can be approached consistently.
