I've heard it called both, I had forgotten about Chameleon. I know it's outrageous expensive. But back to celebrating Mike's fine work

But of course!

House of kolor made all the badazz pigments for auto paint as I recall.
Stupid expensive, and equally hard to do properly. My hats off to those that can do it..
I could paint a mean airplane wing 'back in the day'. No one could see the fisheye at 30000 ft. Hehe.

I am gonna save that one!

Very cool looking brush Mike, glad to see it came out so well

Been messing with the rubberset molds, mixing up some more shades.
Found out kerosene leaves a trace residue which can foul the brew. I was using the kerosene as a cleaner between castings to remove all traces of the previous cast.

Prevented cure, and caused bubbling, even under 60 psi pressure casting. So back to IPA only final rinse on the silicone molds.

Got a long awaited knot order in so I can start to see what these can actually look like.

Almost got these dialed in. Just need to bore out a couple more of em.

Very cool Mike, they look great - I remember holding a couple of your prototypes....with a little added weight in them, would be hard to tell the difference from the real thing...that blue one is fantastic....

That's awesome! A "long awaited knot" definitely piques the interest. Planning on a wee surprise?

Naw, no surprises.
I just didn't have anything small enough on hand to plug into these.
Shavemac 23s fit no issue, but Chinese knots have bigger mid bulge and don't always seem to fit based on specs.
Two '23' mm Chinese knots are not identical girth, ever, unlike the consistent German quality Burnd always puts out.
