Forrest Flux Turboshift Acrylic Paint
Forrest Flux Turboshift Acrylic Paint
"My mama always said ‘Life is like a box of chocolate. You never know what you’re gonna get."
Even though Forrest Flux is slightly reddish in the bottle, this box of chocolates lets you look up into the leafy canopy with just a hint of the sky peaking through, showing shades of green, blue, and purple. It is also makes for a beautiful beetle shell effect.
Forrest Flux is included in the Earthly Pleasures Bundle with more neutral and muted tones. It is intended that this paint be used over a black primer.
Turboshift paints are made with tiny glass-like flakes that work like millions of small prisms within the paint. Depending on how the flakes are made, different colors are refracted or reflected in the light. In layman's terms this means that the paint changes color depending on what light you are viewing it under, and what angle you are holding it to that light.
Formulated for airbrush use, but may also be hand brushed.
How to Use:
1. Don't worry if the color of your paint looks different in the bottle than the label.
2. Shake the bottle until you hear the mixing ball rattling around, then shake some more.
3. To avoid a mess, make sure the bottle tip is clear before squeezing.
4. Use isopropyl alcohol or Simple Green for cleanup of dried paint.
5. To begin with, stick to the base color recommended on the bottle (black or white)
6. Apply 2 to 4 thin, even coats of paint with airbrush or paintbrush.
7. For airbrushing, we recommend to start with 0.5 nozzle, 25 to 30 psi and thinning by diluting 3 parts paint with 1 part airbrush medium.
8. For hand-brushing, dilute with either airbrush medium or a small amount of water using a wet brush.
