True. To the best of my knowledge, there is NO COLORED PIGMENT in the Kameleons. The paint only contains little prismatic flakes that refract, or break apart light. Besides, if it didn't match....who would know!

I doubt if most of these guys would be interested, as paying for materials is a real issue. For me, the best price on Kameleon type paints is the X-otic brand, at about $400 a quart, the last time I bought any. You would need 1-4 quarts, depending on the project, type of spray equipment, plus all of your other paint products that go into the job. The total for materials would be about $1000-$2000, depending on what you want to do, plus more to include graphics.

If you use it, you would want to be sure to put 3 wet coats on, to assure that there isn't too much of the base color showing through.
