I dunno why but I started looking up how to do iridescent effects on steel after reading your comment and I ended up stumbling on some company that rainbow powder coats metal and that shit looks cool.The rainbow is uncoordinateable.
It's the whole colour spectrum shat out at once, with no regard to complimentary tones.
It is visually noisy and loud when depicted in flat bright colour, in a way that the natural aerial phenomenon is not.
Rainbows are best used as translucent effects on iridescent surfaces, like an oil spill.
Makes me think, when I get my model elves painted, I should experiment with iridescent effects, particularly on the helmets, shields and swords.
I'm in two minds; bands of ink-washes over steel using a cmyk method to attempt to induce a muted pseudo-rainbow effect in the steel.
Or maybe just buy a bottle of iridescent nail varnish from the girly shop?
Depends on cost, and how nail varnish would react with acrylic paint, I have no idea.
And of course, what the end result would look like.
If the first works out how I imagine, the colour streaks would be long, and I could do them diagonally up in a nice dynamic way.
But using an iridescent pseudo-pigment directly would make the effect more "granular" and would actually iridesce rainbow hues, but I can also imagine that going wrong.
I seen iridescent mica powder online also, maybe I could mix some into acrylic medium.
Neat, looks like bismuth.I dunno why but I started looking up how to do iridescent effects on steel after reading your comment and I ended up stumbling on some company that rainbow powder coats metal and that shit looks cool.

I don't think I'd have it on a car just because it reminds me of the hot wheels cars I had when I was a kid. I definitely remember one with some iridescent rainbow looking shit on it.Pretty as it is, I am afraid this particular effect was claimed by potheads and one shouldn't use this on visible parts of a car, unless they are on a local mafia whitelist or actually ready to lick a drugwipe every week.
No, it belongs to Leprechauns, Odin, and Heimdall.The rainbow belongs to God and no one else.
But while we're at it, can we reclaim the colors of the troon flag? It's a really lovely combination of colors and I really hate that they're ruining it.
Thank you for poasting. This stupid shit had me rolling on the floor.Surprised this hasn't been posted yet in here... (wish I could find the rest of the bit, but oh well...)
