Shimmer is a unique coating that has a tremendous sparkling effect in a bright light, but in normal light will give you a subtle metallic look. Shimmer is easily applied by normal spraying equipment but can also be sprayed by an airbrush. Apply Shimmer over any colour base coat for novel effects but also mixing different Shimmer colours will give you a real custom effect. Apply our Candy colours over the top of Shimmer to give a real "pop" to the Candy effect.
The unique colour range:
- Silver Shimmer
- Gold Shimmer
- Blue Shimmer
- Purple Shimmer
- Red Shimmer
Shimmer is available in bottles 500ml (1/2 litre), 1 litre, aerosol (see below), 1 Litre kit and 3 litre kits (see below for what's in the kits) - simply select the bottle size you require from the "Drop Down" menu.
