Trying out another color Joker Jewel on a Modified 440

Joker Jewel
This is a smooth, high gloss clear coat with a heavy amount of vibrant, color-shifting metallic flakes. These intense color shifting flakes change between green, pink, purple, orange, and light-red colors.

Shot Joker Jewel on a 275-330 today . This color is hard to put in pictures , it looks green most of the time .
 Out of the oven it showed more purple , as it cooled it when more green . At different angles the colors appear.

I have messed with the Columbia liquid product.  You blend in the powder and paint with a brush.  It doesn't turn into something like the liquid paint that we are used to, more like powder suspended in a solution.  I found it hard to work with and not very satisfying.

One technique that sort of worked for me is to brush  on just the unblended liquid and the to spray the powder over it while the liquid is still wet.  I used one of the mini sandblaster style airbrushes to apply powder.

The powder will mostly just stick to spots where the liquid was applied.
