This 25-gram Orange Thermochromic Paint powder is a great pigment for custom Paint! It is called thermochromic pigment. You can now create dazzling effects that change color when the temperature of the item changes. This Orange Thermochromic Paint is being used in everything from toys to choppers to home interiors. Many are experimenting with it to create the ultimate home-efficient roofing because it could literally change from orange to white when the temperature was hot. Mix into any clear base coat (like a binder or color blender) and spray over your desired graphics or base coat color. See our article, How To Mix custom Paint. As mentioned in our article about temperature change paint, this product requires a great deal of UV protection in order to create a lasting effect in outdoor environments. We recommend Wet Wet Plus clear or another highly UV protective clear for outdoor or exterior use. Because this paint is dependent on UV protection, we offer no warranty on its longevity since that depends on how you top coat it. Tip: using this Orange Thermochromic paint underneath Illusion Pearls ® or Kolorshift Pearls ® will help increase its tolerance to UV rays as well, as pearls are made with titanium oxide, a principle ingredient in sunscreen protectants.
Thermochromic pigments change color dramatically (even from black to white) as the temperature changes. Ours are set to change at 86 degrees F. This Orange Thermochromic Paint pigment can be used in everything from custom paint to clothing. Our pigments have been used in everything from masks to motorcycles. Use in your own testing for a custom application!
Did you know magicians use thermochromic pigments in magic tricks?
Thermochromic paints change as the temperature changes. As the temperature goes up, the pigment becomes colorless, revealing the base coat or graphics underneath. The helmet shown was a white base with a black temperature-sensitive paint sprayed over it. The following video has caused a huge increase in our product sales for themochromic pigments. What you are looking at is BLACK THERMOCHROMIC OVER an orange base. The second video (right) shows how body heat can affect thermochromics in an amusing way… See Above Videos.
Both Above Videos were sent by users of our products. See their Youtube channels for more information.
Mix these pigments with our pearls for a subtle and more protected paint job. See the yellow to orange mouse shown below.
Just mix into a clear base (like a blender or a binder) and spray it. 1 25-gram bag per sprayable quart of base clear will get you great temperature or solar change paint at a great price. NOTE: The Thermochromic paints (Temperature change) have a LOW UV TOLERANCE without proper protection, so for exterior paint, use a clear coat like Wet Wet Plus clear or Dupont’s hc7776. No warranty can be given, as this is a known issue and what you top coat it with will determine its longevity. We do not recommend it, but in one video above, our customer was able to get it to work in powder coatings.
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PROLONGED OUTDOOR USE.
We recommend starting with 1 25-gram bag per quart of sprayable clear paint/binder. This goes best into an oil or solvent-based clear. You can always test mixing with a water based clear first.
