RC Lamborghini body painted in Aphrodite Super Colorshift

Finished in Aphrodite Super Colorshift

This RC Lamborghini body came to life in Aphrodite Super Colorshift — a strong Alpha Super Colorshift that rolls through purple, blue, pink, orange, gold, and green across every panel of the body. The whole thing was sprayed with the same Aphrodite Super Colorshift vehicle paint kit we ship to every customer: DTM primer-sealer for the black ground coat, the Aphrodite Super Colorshift basecoat, and HS Glamour clearcoat over the top.

Here is how the finish came together — the prep, the products, and the steps to chase the same look on your own project.

Meet the Builder: RC Lamborghini Build

This build ran the full Alpha Automotive Paint system end to end — no shop-only products, no shortcuts. The system is DTM primer-sealer, Aphrodite Super Colorshift basecoat, and HS Glamour clearcoat, plus urethane reducer, HS activator, and the TSS cheat sheet to keep the ratios straight. The Aphrodite Super Colorshift vehicle paint kit you would buy is the exact kit sprayed here.

The Color: Why Aphrodite Super Colorshift?

Aphrodite Super Colorshift is a 4-8 color pearl midcoat with purple, blue, pink, orange, gold, and green tones. It is bound in Alpha’s pigment-controlled binder, so it lays down without striping or mottling, holds a crystal-clear pearl suspension, and carries strong UV resistance.

Aphrodite is built to spray over a black ground coat for full coverage. Over its recommended black ground coat, Aphrodite Super Colorshift delivers full coverage and reads at its cleanest, showing the shift exactly the way it was designed to.

Every Way to Get Aphrodite Super Colorshift

Whether you're painting a full vehicle, a motorcycle, a guitar, or just touching up with a spray can — Aphrodite Super Colorshift is available for every project size. Each kit includes matched products sized for the job.

💡 Pro Tip

Aphrodite’s multi-tone shift is at its strongest over black — keep the midcoat even and fully flashed so the purple-to-green range rolls cleanly across the body lines.

What's Inside the Vehicle Paint Kit

These are all the products included in the Aphrodite Super Colorshift Full Vehicle Paint Kit. Every product is already matched and compatible — no hunting across brands, no guessing on ratios.

DTM Primer-Sealer (AP-7541) — The black ground coat Aphrodite Super Colorshift is built on. AP-7541 DTM primer-sealer lays a uniform, opaque foundation so the pearl reads at full strength.

Aphrodite Super Colorshift BasecoatAphrodite Super Colorshift basecoat is the color coat itself, mixed 1:1 with Alpha urethane reducer and laid over the ground coat.

HS Glamour Clear (AC-4521)AC-4521 HS Glamour clearcoat buries the color in gloss and locks in UV and chip protection.

Alpha Urethane Reducer (AR-3000 Series)Alpha urethane reducer thins the basecoat to a spray-ready 1:1 ratio for even, controlled coats.

HS Activator (AH-7100 Series)AH-7100 HS activator catalyzes the HS Glamour clear so it cures hard, clear, and durable.

TSS Cheat Sheet — The TSS cheat sheet keeps every mix ratio and flash window in front of you for the whole job.

Optional Add-Ons

The vehicle paint kit has everything you need to go from prepped surface to finished paint. But depending on where your project is starting, these add-on bundles can save time and money on the prep and masking side:

The Complete DIY Process

Step 1: Prep & Scuff

A clean, even finish starts with the surface underneath. Knock the sheen off and level the piece with OptiGrit abrasives, then clean it down before a single coat goes on. Skip this and Aphrodite Super Colorshift will telegraph every flaw.

Step 2: DTM Primer-Sealer (Black Ground Coat)

A black ground coat of DTM primer-sealer is the foundation this color was built on — it delivers the uniform, full-coverage base the pearl needs to read at its cleanest. Lay it even and let it flash before color.

Step 3: Aphrodite Super Colorshift Basecoat

Aphrodite Super Colorshift basecoat mixes 1:1 with Alpha urethane reducer and builds in smooth, even coats until the shift comes up evenly across the whole piece. Let each coat flash — patience here is what keeps the pearl deep instead of blotchy.

Step 4: HS Glamour Clearcoat

HS Glamour clearcoat, catalyzed with HS activator, is where the depth comes alive — it locks the color under a wet, glassy gloss and adds the UV and chip protection.

Step 5: Cut & Buff

Once the clear is fully cured, a light cut with fine OptiGrit and a buff brings it to a mirror. Keep the TSS cheat sheet handy so no ratio or flash window gets rushed.

Black. Aphrodite Super Colorshift is a strong color-changing midcoat, and a black ground coat is what delivers full coverage and the strongest multi-tone shift. The Aphrodite vehicle paint kit ships with the black DTM primer-sealer for exactly this.

Aphrodite Super Colorshift is a 4-8 color pearl with purple, blue, pink, orange, gold, and green tones. On a curvy RC body those tones roll across the panels as the angle changes — even coats over black are what make it read.

Yes. Because the shift lives in the pearl, Aphrodite moves through its full range on anything from a speedshape sample to a full body — the painted sample shows the same tones you will get on your project.
