Paint Your Car With ‘Mermaid Paint’ for the Coolest Look on the Road

Avoiding the ‘Skunk’ Look

A common mistake for someone unfamiliar with chameleon paint is to paint over some areas twice, most notably a car’s door handles. The best way to achieve a consistent paint spray is to walk back and forth over the car, spraying in stripes rather than patches. Even then, it can be hard to avoid the so-called “skunk” look where a single stripe of paint looks brighter and more noticeable than those around it.
