What's that type of paint where it turns different colours depending on the angle you look at it? I've heard so many different terms. Iridescent, opalescent, pearl. Which one is the one I'm thinking about?

What I want to do it make little maple leafs on my car that have a base colour, but shifts to maybe a different shade of the base colour.

k first off u dont think ur gonna be able to do it to be done right it should be done from the primer or base coat youw ill need base clear paint or multi stage paint and it is an additive you use not a paint and i would check with some local paint shops to do it i dont think you can do this one your self just what i think
