⚡ Chrome Hypershift Pigments
📌 Definition
Chrome Hypershift pigments are ultra-bright, metallic effect pigments designed to deliver an intense mirror-like chrome finish combined with a dramatic color-shifting effect. Unlike standard pearlescent pigments, chrome hypershifts offer high reflectivity, bold color transitions, and extreme vibrancy, making them ideal for premium decorative and industrial applications.
📌 Uses
-
Automotive & Custom Coatings – Car & bike paints, helmets, rims, and accessories for bold color-shift finishes.
-
Consumer Goods & Electronics – Phone cases, gadgets, home décor items with metallic rainbow shine.
-
Cosmetics – Nail powders, gel polishes, eyeshadows (cosmetic-safe grades).
-
Fashion & Textiles – Heat transfer vinyls (HTV), synthetic leather, luxury apparel & shoes.
-
Resin Art & Crafts – Jewelry, epoxy tables, ornaments, and high-end decorative pieces.
-
Packaging & Printing – Luxury brand packaging, security effects, high-value labels.
📌 Effect on Base Colors
-
Black Base → Produces the strongest chrome + hypershift effect with sharp, metallic rainbow transitions.
-
Dark Bases (navy, deep green, burgundy) → Vibrant shift with slight tone blending.
-
Medium Colors → Effect visible but influenced by the undertone of the base.
-
White / Light Bases → Shifts appear softer and pearly, with less chrome intensity.
-
Transparent Base (resin/clear coat) → Creates a floating, high-gloss color-shift illusion.
✅ Summary:
Chrome Hypershift pigments combine the mirror-like shine of chrome with dynamic, shifting colors for the most striking and futuristic finishes. They are most effective on black or very dark bases, creating bold, attention-grabbing visuals.
