I just got a revvy that in dim light becomes red but out in the sun it changes to being gold, and I was wondering if you can anno a marker to do that?

there is auroa(sp?) ano and its really hard to do but i think someone on the forum has found a way to do it... search for rainbow anodizing or something like that.

There are also methods of plating that will lend a color shifting appearance, such as with certain titanium and nickel applications, and through the application of high heat or electrical charge in a specific manner. However, as I cannot say for certain what would create the red to gold shift. Usually these color shifts are more rainbow-like in appearance,

the thing about aurora palting is you need alot of differnt density variations or it ends up a solid color

might wanna head to pbn and ask in the anno section

I think your revvy is a chameleon type, I used to have one and I thought it was pretty cool, it just didnt match any of my setup.

I don't think it's quite the same as the aurora. All the pics I've seen of the aurora, you can see multiple colors at the same time when you look at it.
It's more like an iridecent paint job on cars. I saw one that when you looked at it one way it was white, and another it was pink. Quite ugly actually, but the lady said her husband owned a body shop and was trying different paints. From what I understand, that type of paint has metal flakes in it that are of a different color, and when you look at it right, the color shifts, or something like that...

Close ...

I own an aurora cocker (lucky me) the best way I can describe the color pattern is like when you heat metal up or burn it, it has that oily iradescent wavey gloss finish.

As for the car thing, its just little crystals in the paint itself that reflect different shades of light depending on the angle of vieing and sunlight.

By the way, there is a line of fishing reels that uses a thin layer of titanium plating to achieve a very prominent prismatic effect. I think that Benchmade also used to use a similar plating on some of their knives, although the newer plating methods seem to generate more color than the older methods.
