Application & Prep
Application & Prep
STEP 1 – CLEAN THE SURFACE
1 - Wash with soap and water, rinse, and dry completely.
2 - Degrease using wax and grease remover or isopropyl alcohol.
3 - Wipe dry with a clean, lint-free towel.
STEP 2 – SCUFF / SAND FOR ADHESION
If Raw Plastic / Polyurethane: Evenly scuff bare plastic or raw surfaces. These will also need to be adhesion promoted prior to paint using our WolfBite Adhesion promoter.
If Good Condition OEM Paint: Sand smooth or glossy paint with P320-P400 grit sand paper or Scuff Pad until uniformly dull with no glossy areas.
If Surface Needs Bodywork or heavy scratches removed: Sand the damaged areas with 180 grit (feathered out into the panel) then do your bodywork. Finish in 220 Grit sanding. Then spot prime with high build primer - fading the primer out into the rest of the sanded panel covering the bodywork and any 220 grit scratches. (the good condition areas of the panel should have been sanded in 320-400 or scuff pad). Lastly, after the high build primer is dry and ready to be sanded (check tds for timeline), sand with 320-400 to match the rest of the panel.
After The above prep: Remove dust with compressed air or a clean microfiber towel.
STEP 3 – FINAL WIPE & TACK
1 - Wipe the surface again with isopropyl alcohol or wax and grease remover.
2 - Allow solvents to fully evaporate.
3 - Lightly wipe with a tack cloth immediately before spraying. Do not press hard. (optional but great step)
STEP 4 – SET UP YOUR SPRAY AREA
1 - Use a well-ventilated, well-lit area with good extraction fans
2 - Ideal conditions are 65–75°F (18–24°C) with 40–60% relative humidity.
3 - Keep the area free of open flames, sparks, or ignition sources.
4 - Wet the floor if your space allows to keep dust down
5 - Cover any items or areas in your space that you do not want to get overspray on
STEP 5 – PERSONAL PROTECTION
1 - Wear a respirator rated for organic or solvent vapors.
2 - Use nitrile gloves and safety goggles.
3 - Wear a paint suit
STEP 6 – SHAKE THE CAN
1 - Shake vigorously for 45–60 seconds.
2 - Invert the can several times while shaking to fully mix pigments and metallics.
STEP 7 – TEST SPRAY
ALWAYS DO A TEST SPRAY + SPRAY OUT CARD IF DOING OEM SPOT JOBS
1 - Spray on cardboard or a scrap panel.
2 - Confirm even spray pattern, correct color, and proper atomization.
3 - Adjust the spray can's nozzle to match your spray style or surface.
4 - If the can is not operating correctly, remove the cap completely, reseat it on the can, and twise the entire nozzle 360 degrees. Since our cans are made to order, sometimes there is slight paint build up and reseating the nozzle corrects this.
STEP 8 – SPRAYING TECHNIQUE
1 - Hold the can 5–6 inches from the surface.
2 - Keep the can perpendicular, 90 degrees to the panel at all times.
3 - Move at a steady speed using smooth, even passes. You are looking for medium wet coats NOT super wet, pooling coats.
4 - Overlap each pass by 50 percent.
STEP 9 – TRIGGER CONTROL
1 - Begin moving before pulling the trigger. Start off of the panel then move onto the panel. This avoids build up on edges.
2 - Fully depress the trigger while spraying.
3 - Release the trigger completely at the end of each pass.
4 - Stop spraying after clearing the panel edge by an inch.
STEP 10 – COATS & FLASH TIMES
1k Primer/Sealer
1 - Spray a medium wet coat on the entire panel (if not blending oem paint) to achieve a 75% coverage. This fills in the sanding scratches as well as gives a uniform , required ground coat color for the next steps.
2- Allow to flash dry for 5-15 minutes. Time depends on the product and environment.
3 - Apply the second medium-wet coat to achieve full coverage
4 - Allow to dry for 30 minutes or until the wet look fades so a dull, even finish and is completely dry to the touch.
GROUNDCOATS or SOLID COLORS (BEFORE MIDCOATS IF APPLICABLE)
This is for our Base Black, OEM Undercoats or solid colored basecoats. Not all projects require this step.
1 - Apply the first medium-wet coat at approximately 75 percent coverage.
2 - Allow to flash 5-15 minutes or until the wet look fades so a dull, even finish. Time depends on the product and environment.
3 - Apply the second medium-wet coat to achieve full coverage
4 - Allow to flash 5-15 minutes or until the wet look fades so a dull, even finish. Time depends on the product and environment.
5 - Apply a Third medium wet coat if the color is not 100% covered and even at this point. This will vary based on the color and product being sprayed.
4 - Flash another 15-30 minutes. Until the surface is even, dull, an dry to the touch.
MIDCOAT , CUSTOM COLORS , OR METALLIC/ PEARL OEM
This is for coverage over required groundcoats , not "ghost effect"
1 - Apply medium coats over the required groundcoat for your color.
2 - Flash 5–15 minutes between coats or until tack-free.
3 - Apply additional coats until the desired color depth is achieved. Most custom and oem colors require 2-4 medium coats - check color description or compare to existing oem panels
4 - Apply 1 light "control" coat to make sure all of the pearl or metallic is even and not splotchy or "tiger striped"
5 - Wait 30 mins or 15 mins after the surface is completely dull and dry to the touch before moving on to topcoat step.
EFFECT PEARL / COLORSHIFT COAT
This is for effect over light groundcoats (not for coverage)
1 - Apply one light effect coat at approximately 25 percent coverage.
2 - Allow 5-15mins for the coat to flash before adding another light coat (if you want to add more effect)
Repeat as many times to your preference of effect and coverage.
3 - Wait 30 mins or 15 mins after the surface is completely dull and dry to the touch before moving on to topcoat step.
STEP 11 – CLEANUP & STORAGE
CAP CLEARING
1 - Turn the can upside down after spraying.
2 - Spray until only clear propellant comes out.
3 - This clears paint from the valve and prevents clogging.
NOZZLE CARE
1 - Remove the spray nozzle after use.
2 - Wipe clean with solvent.
3 - Do not soak the nozzle in solvent.
STORAGE
1 - Store cans upright in a cool, dry place.
2 - Keep away from direct sunlight.
3 - Avoid freezing conditions.
4 - Do not store above 120°F (49°C).
QUICK TROUBLESHOOTING
1 - Dry or rough texture means the can is too far away or moving too fast.
2 - Runs or sags mean the can is too close or moving too slowly.
3 - Continue to shake and agitate the can between coats- Repeat step 6
4 - If ever unsure the color is 100% covered (and you are going for coverage) - one extra coat is always a good idea.

Southern style customs love the way the flames came out using the raven chameleon color on this project
Love this color! More of a leaf green to purple/pink color shift then teal.
Very good bang for your buck, desired effect was achieved
Sprays well, lays down really nice, absolutely beautiful color combinations would definitely use again, ordered a quart only used a pint for a whole motorcycle with three coats, had plenty left over, went farther than I expected per coat will definitely be using again.
Stunning iridescent paint as advertised.
Killer!
It was easy to use and turned out great. Used 4 cans on this motorcycle.
Love the raven colorshift... Big Loie is sporting it on her swimsuit.
Makes beautiful frames for googles. Green teal blue purple…..it’s got it all!
The raven colorshift pigments worked very well, very pleased with the results.
This color came out way nicer then expected
1st time using this product and colorshift in spraycan . Was VERY nervous considering these are 60$ a can. But to my surprise it turned out very well. I used the GREY epoxy primer 1st, but I STRONGLY suggest using a black primer as the colorshift pops better with black base. I used these paints on my Toyota Aristo body kit, 2 side skirts , a front lip and rear diffuser.. I used about 7 cans to really get the shifting effect. BE PATIENT and use several light coats w 10 min in between. You won't see the magic until coat 2 or 3. Very happy with results and I will be Breaking necks on the freeway with this colorway.
Got this color in a mystery box, and couldn’t wait to try it! Done excellent, turned me into a fan of this color, and opened up the idea of trying some more as I may like them. Never really liked colors like this until I actually sprayed it. It is an unforgiving color like all other colors like it so prep does have to be done well, but so easy to spray and lays out great. Coverage of the color is excellent especially over black base. The color shift transitions great, the colors compliment each other well, and the flake in it is just the right size for everything. Can not say enough about how impressed I am with this color. Will be doing more things to try out with this color, and post them in the blog, and the coolest part is my wife can make her make up with it. Cheers!🍻

Prompt shipping and great product!

I applied the Raven Colorshift paint to one of my upcoming projects (after adding Car-Rep black epoxy primer as the base).
