Seems like the glossy undercoat allows you some freedom to angle it away from recesses without killing the effect even if you miss some underneath parts, as well
Does the shifter paint have to be applied with an Airbrush? Would thin enough coats work with a brush, and would you need a special paint thinner rather than water?
Nice stuff. It would be nice to see how they work on a car body or a truck. Especially in a smaller scale than 1:24 ! Thanks and Greetings from Cologne. Markus

Amazing job, I love Vallejo paints, probably 90% of mine are Vallejo, gonna have to try these, it will be good to compare them to green stuff world as I have some of theirs
It's been my experience that Vallejo Airbrush paints work really well as brush on paints. Just be aware that they are a slightly different consistency, so you might not need to use as much medium, if any.
Hi, This is Roger from the Airbrush Step by Step magazine - can we use some screenshots from the video for promoting "the Shifters" paint in our magazine article?
Hi Roger, thanks for seeking permission, yes no problem in using screenshots go ahead; if you can mention our UA-cam channel in the article that’d be great. Thanks!
You mention the Gloss Black doesn't ccover as easily, would it be possible to use vallejo's regular black surface primer first, and then use gloss black primer over that?
Can you apply transfer/ decals over the shifter paints, or does the use of gloss varnish and decals destroy the paint shift effect? I would like to use the turquoise violet to paint some Alpha Legion space marines.
Hello Danny! You shouldn't encounter any issues, but please test on a sample before using it on your models. Also, varnish shouldn't harm the shift effect.
Hello Husk1184! This paint allows you to get a nice differentiation of your model's armor or silhouette plates. But in case you want to edge-highlight you can try first with a light color and then, if the result is not ok for you, paint again and apply a wash :)
Hi Edward! Thank you for your comment. Yes, nothing prevents you from using brushes, but it's important to remember that they work best with a thin layer of color. This will really make the shifter effect stand out. To achieve this, airbrush application is highly recommended, as it will help you avoid any undesirable brush strokes 😊
Hello ErgonomicChair! 😊The bigger (and curvier) the surface, the better -- 'cause you will have a wide painted area where the light can work on the pigments and reflect the Shift effect. Anyway, try to use these colors on those pieces. Don't worry if you're new to this - it's always worth giving it a try! 😊 Remember to use gloss black primer with these colors for optimal shift effect! Happy painting! ✨
So with the turquoise violet paint used in this example, when I have used similar paints from other companies they also have like an orange in it. Is this only teal and purple flakes, or will there be an orange effect on the upper edges in certain light?
Hello Munchy Dragon! The multichromatic pigments used in the formulation of these colors give them a vibrant metallic sparkle, while their glass-like coating acts like a refracting prism. Each flake presents a variety of colors depending on the angle of view and incident light; for this effect and top results and finish you must use black gloss primer as the base color :)
I normally use your premium colors where you don’t have a glossy primer. Can I use the premium black and then glossy varnish underneath the shifters? And can I seal them with varnish?
@@kovacs991 if they're like the greenstuff world colors, lots and lots of layers because they don't cover well. It's much easier to do with an airbrush.
Hello Nicolaim! When painting, use very thin layers, and keep in mind that the shift effect may not appear as smooth as it would with an airbrush. One helpful tip is to apply these colors to curved surfaces. Additionally, you can use a dry brush technique with these colors to enhance texture patterns or surfaces, such as feathers, curved surfaces, skin, or detailed clothing. Remember: always use a black primer first. Let your imagination run wild!
I wonder how this would look over top of silver. Like... a power sword or magic sword that is metallic turqoise to metallic violet... I want to find out but haha, they're out of stock on Amazon, and you can only buy them in the 6 packs. XD
Is it possible to mute the colour further? I'm looking more for a black with the colour appearing with the light for the Emperor's Children from warhammer 40,000. Could I tone it done with a black wash?
One question, what does happen when you varnish shifters colours with, let's say, matte or satin varnish? Does it kill the "shift effect? Does the colour transition stay?
I just got massively confused. Lol...you say that you are adding the greenish blue color....and it's white. So...how the heck does it go from white in the plastic container to blue on the figure?

The white part is medium, when you look at those "white" color-shifting paints, it looks like pearl. Shifting colors are obtained by metallic pigment that don't reflect color by themselves, the black undercoat is part of the reflection process that makes the color appear. That's also why several layer are required. In some color-shifting paints, the pigment are colorful enough so it doesn't look white. Those can be used with non black undercoat.
TRIED TO THIN OUT THE AIRBRUSH SILVER WITH AIRBRUSH PAINT THINNER BUT IT ISN'T TRANSLUCENT AT ALL, AS LIGHT AS POSSIBLE ON THE FINEST SETTING IT STILL JUST COVERS UP THE BASE COLOR SHIFT PAINTJOB AND RUINS IT TOTALLY, TRIED PRACTICING ON 25 MINI'S AND STILL NOT SURE HOW THIS IS SUPPOSED TO WORK, I used the same thinner and paints, a THINNER MIX what % thinned ? MAYBE MORE INFO WOULD BE HELPFUL UNLESS ITS JUST A PLOY TO SELL MORE PAINT DUE TO THE BAD HIGHLIGHT INSTRUCTIONS, MY NEW IWATA NEO IS A NICE TOOL, WORKS FINE FOR OTHER WORK, i HAD TO HOLD THE AIRBRUSH 3-4" AWAY FROM THE MINI OR IT WOULD JUST BLOW TOO MUCH PAINT, NO IDEA HOW THIS PERSON DOES IT FROM 1/2" AWAY UNLESS HE HAS the finest AIRBRUSH model
@@ScottKenny1978 really ? i painted real cars with house of colour chameleon paint and that just bullshit..... the areas on that model are not big enough for the shift to happen properly.
@@vasili1207 I've used a couple different color shifting paints, greenstuff world chameleon paints and Spaz Stix, the color shift effect was more pronounced on the more curved models.
With how much/which types of varnish are these colours able to cope with? I'm aware it will lessen their effect, but as long as it stays decent, I would be fine with it. I would like to use these colours on models intended for gaming and those really need at least some varnish to keep all colour layers on them long term.
Hello Gargboss! The best varnish for this paint is definitely gloss! You want your mini to shine, right? That’s the way to go then😊 Another option is using these colors with dry brush technique but try first with a different varnish if you want and check how they look once it dries

Hello. You can find tutorials about airbrushing and our colors use on Angel Giraldez's UA-cam channel. Take a look!
I can see this being a really effective way of getting oil stains for terrain as well as for run down vehicles such as any Ork vehicle in 40k.
I saw some paints like this in the store recently and I got obsessed with the idea to make a necron or drukhary army with them. Thanks for the video
It is super important that the primer be glossy, yeah.
Tried it with flat, and it turned far less sparkly and shiny!
Seems like the glossy undercoat allows you some freedom to angle it away from recesses without killing the effect even if you miss some underneath parts, as well
I'm going to have to check out the Vallejo shifters paints. I have the greenstuff world chameleon paints.
Also, 1.8 bar is 26.5 psi
also check out FolkArt brand's Color Shift line :)
*clicks on Vallejo video to see what colour shifts are, sees favourite painter/youtuber to learn from* I’m in right place
Does the shifter paint have to be applied with an Airbrush? Would thin enough coats work with a brush, and would you need a special paint thinner rather than water?
Hello Josh! You can definitely use a brush, but just remember that for the smoothest finish, an airbrush is your best bet!
really nice might do something like that for my own necrons
Nice stuff.
It would be nice to see how they work on a car body or a truck.
Especially in a smaller scale than 1:24 !

TYVM for the Quality English Voiceover Its much appreciated
could they be applied with a normal brush?

@@vallejocolors okay thank you for your fast answer :) have a nice day!
Swamp Store Aprilia it provides a somewhat “rough” finish to do it by brush, so it could be done that way if that was your intended effect
I've had much better results when applying with a brush by using mat black undercoat and then gloss varnishing over the finished paint job 😉👍
Amazing job, I love Vallejo paints, probably 90% of mine are Vallejo, gonna have to try these, it will be good to compare them to green stuff world as I have some of theirs
I've tried GSW and given Turbo Dork a go. The Vallejo ones look nice, I could well see myself testing some of those soon.
Nice tips to using this new paint!
Ya ves que guapas las nuevas pinturas, y gran video!
What if I apply normal black primer and applied a thin coat of gloss varnish THEN the shifters paint? Would that work?
Can you do this with just a brush. I don’t have an airbrush? Any tips or recommendations?

This looks awesome... can you paint it on? I don’t have and have never used an airbrush.
I need to get some of these, I just have no idea what to use them for! Would it possible to do a similar colour shift but less metallic?
You must experiment with them to check that :)

Hello Danny! You shouldn't encounter any issues, but please test on a sample before using it on your models. Also, varnish shouldn't harm the shift effect.
Im guessing edgehighlighting doesnt work well together with this type of paint? I cant find any content where people do it.

Thank you Vallejo colors😊the best👍
Any suggestion on what gloss coating to use？
are those those color shifting paints that shift colors when you shift how you view them? should have called them color shifters... oh wait
I love your paint selection and use it exclusively.
That being said, I don’t care for your background music!
It's like a 90s skateboard/trance/eurodance party all in one.
If you were to top coat in a matt would the shift effect still work?
Hello Shantydan86! Maybe it wouldn't work/shine as expected.
Id like to see these on a white gloss primer... :D
One question I would have is can you use these paints with a brush to apply them?

Willt hese work on lenses/cameras/scopes and such, or would they be too small? Say 40k or battletech sized? Cockpits etc.

NO MORE MIX OF SOME METALLIC COLORS ON THE JET ENGINE NOZZLE! Thank`s to Vallejo!
Can these be brushed on? Cool range but I haven’t invested in an airbrush yet.
So with the turquoise violet paint used in this example, when I have used similar paints from other companies they also have like an orange in it. Is this only teal and purple flakes, or will there be an orange effect on the upper edges in certain light?
why gloss black? how does the finish of the primer matter for the shifter paint?

Hello Baybee13! Yes, you can use black+glossy and then seal The Shifters (but always use glossy varnish).
@@vallejocolors thx for the quick reply 😉
Nicely done! Done it myself and not happy with the result. Seems to be to dark. Makes it sense to do more layers, or would it destroy the look?
Hello Seb! You can add additional very thin layers until you get the desired effect :) But don't add too many of them :)
Would it be possible to apply these paints without an airbrush, or would the effect not work?
You can do it, but the results are not so good. We recommend using airbrush. Regards!
I've had much better results when applying with a brush by using mat black undercoat and then gloss varnishing over the finished paint job 😉👍
Can you varnish these? Or does that ruin the effect?
You can varnish, but to keep a great glossy effect we recommend to use a Gloss Varnish. Regards.
i am using this on an rc can i use a varnish on this to
Yes. Indeed, we highly recommend to use a varnish for that purpose. Try gloss varnish if you want to keep the "shinny" effect. Regards.
I find it grips mat better as it can slide off and pool on gloss. A gloss varnish will improve the shine and protect the finish.
cant find these for close to MSRP anywhere in canada, same with army painter metallic colors
Meeplemart online store seems to have them in sets for 27. Which seems reasonable.
Love the colors, is it easy to apply with a paintbrush?
ufff, with a brush it's very difficult but no impossible, I recommend you an airbrush

Is it possible to mute the colour further? I'm looking more for a black with the colour appearing with the light for the Emperor's Children from warhammer 40,000. Could I tone it done with a black wash?

How many Bar do you use for shifters on the airbrush
1.8 bar
@@vallejocolors do you use for all Paints 1.8 bar? or use für game air color other bar?
Tbh the thing i learnt most from this is that you are meant to dilute the primers. Ive just been using them right out the bottle
Can someone tell me what 1.8 bar Psi is? I assume a bar is 10psi?
Hello Lexispapi, for airbrushing our colors, you must set the compressor between 15-20 PSI
can it work with paintbrush and not airbrush?
