ChromaFlex™: The Ultimate Colour-Shifting Paint for Furniture & Décor

ChromaFlex™ is a luxurious, thick, water-based decorative paint formulated with colour-shifting pigments that reflect and refract light.

When applied in a thin layer, it creates a surface that:

• Changes colour depending on viewing angle
  
• Shifts with natural and artificial light
  
• Adds shimmer without looking glittery
  
• Enhances details and texture
  
• Creates a dramatic impact over dark colours

Because it’s water-based, it’s easy to work with, easy to clean up, and compatible with other water-based Fusion products.

How Does ChromaFlex™ Work?

ChromaFlex™ contains prismatic pigments that respond to light. Instead of simply absorbing light like traditional paint, these pigments reflect and bend light, creating a multidimensional finish.

This is why:

• It may appear almost invisible straight on
  
• It glows intensely from the side
  
• It looks different in daylight vs evening light
  
• It changes depending on the base colour underneath

The darker the base colour, the more dramatic the shift. Lighter bases create a softer, more ethereal effect.

How to Apply ChromaFlex™

ChromaFlex™ is designed for easy, controlled application.

Basic Application Steps:

1. Start with a fully dry painted surface.
   
2. Use a brush or applicator to apply a thin, even coat.
   
3. Allow to dry completely.
   
4. Add additional layers if a deeper impact is desired.
   
5. Seal if needed for high-traffic surfaces.

A thin application delivers the most beautiful light-reactive results. Heavy layers are not necessary, this product performs best when applied lightly.

ChromaFlex™ Techniques & Creative Effects

One of the most exciting aspects of ChromaFlex™ is its versatility. From subtle glow to bold shimmer, here are ways to customize your finish.

1. Light Wash & Water Mist Technique

Apply a thin coat and lightly mist with water to disperse the pigment further. This softens the finish and creates an atmospheric, diffused shimmer.

Perfect for:

• Layered finishes
  
• Raised details
  
• Subtle artistic effects
  
• Textured surfaces
  

This technique produces a soft veil of colour that gently shifts with light.

2. Custom Colour Blends

Blend different ChromaFlex™ shades to create endless colour-shifting combinations.

By mixing tones, you can:

• Adjust warmth or coolness
  
• Increase or soften intensity
  
• Create layered depth
  
• Design unique finishes
  

This technique is ideal for artists and creatives who want full control over the final effect.

3. High-Gloss Luminous Finish with Tough Coat Gloss

After ChromaFlex™ dries, apply Fusion Tough Coat Gloss over top to achieve a smooth, high-gloss finish.

This technique:

• Amplifies depth and colour shift
  
• Enhances light reflection
  
• Creates a modern, glass-like look
  
• Adds durability for tabletops and high-use pieces
  

Gloss dramatically intensifies the prismatic effect.

4. Decoupage & Transfer Enhancements

Apply ChromaFlex™ selectively over decoupage or transfers to add dimension and glow.

• Brings flat artwork to life
  
• Adds iridescent highlights
  
• Enhances edges and raised areas
  
• Elevates focal points without overpowering design
  

Used strategically, it creates a refined, professional finish.

5. Embossing Paste & Texture Effects

Mix ChromaFlex™ into embossing paste to create a raised, shimmering texture.

This technique:

• Adds tactile dimension
  
• Makes mouldings and stencils stand out
  
• Creates dramatic statement details
  
• Works beautifully on artistic furniture pieces
  

As light hits raised details, the colour shift becomes even more pronounced.

6. Mix with Wax for Soft Shimmer

Add just a few drops of ChromaFlex™ colour-shifting paint to clear or coloured wax and stir thoroughly.

This creates:

• A subtle glowing sheen
  
• Enhanced detail in carvings
  
• A classic waxed finish with a modern twist
  

Apply and buff to your desired level of shimmer.

Dark bases:

• Intensify the colour shift
  
• Increase contrast
  
• Create bold, high-impact shimmer
