For makers who want to add a mysterious and vivid touch to their work, Raiko is the perfect choice.
One part, two viewing angles.
No photo editing — the photo itself alternates two views of the same painted part. A radical colour change from the automotive scene. You get the richest shift on a dark base, in epoxy and in lacquer. Hover to pause the transition.

I wanted something a little different — „I wanted to highlight a decorative metal pheasant on a wrought-iron gate. Instead of black or ordinary paints I tried Raiko Ultrashift — from one angle it's purple, from another it flips to teal. It turned out great!“

Frequently asked questions
How much pigment should I add to epoxy?
From our hands-on practice: 0.5–1 g per kg of mix for a translucent effect (river, sea water), ~3 g/kg for full colour, 5 g/kg for opaque coverage. Always mix it into a small amount of resin first, then into the rest.
Will the pigment sink in a deep pour?
Raiko Ultrashift has 5-25 μm particles that stay evenly dispersed in the mix. Only coarse pigments with 200–700 μm particles (e.g. flakes) can sink — letting the resin thicken slightly or stirring the mix during the process helps.
Which resin is it suitable for?
Any epoxy resin. For crystal-clear castings in which the pearl stands out, we recommend the systems DIPON LuminaCast — Ocean Flow for river tables, Gem Flow for jewellery.
On which background does the effect stand out most?
On a dark one. The manufacturer recommends applying chameleon pigments over a black or dark base — the colour shift is then at its richest; on a light background the effect is softer. This applies to epoxy and paint alike.
What is the difference between Colorshift and Ultrashift?
Colorshift elegantly flips between two tones depending on the angle of light. Ultrashift — originally from the automotive scene — changes colour radically: one piece looks like two completely different colours from different angles.
