- In this video I mix up a batch of thermochromic pigment with white acrylic paint. When heat is applied, the black thermochromic paint turns transparent and reveals whatever color it was mixed it (i.e. white).
I also show a small segment which was mixed with a transparent acrylic glue. This means the top layer is black (or gray) and when heat is applied, it turns transparent and you see whatever color is underneath (orange)
In the video you can see my thermochromic table which is fun to play with.

Thank you for this! A simple yet informative tutorial. Just what I've been searching for!
Simplest and most informative explanation. Thank you.
I would use it on the top of my van. The first coat would be a highly reflective white paint to reduce summer heat. Then I would like a clear coat with this pigment as dark as possible. Then, in winter my van would heat up quicker because it's dark. Then in summer it would turn clear to reflect the sunlight and cool the surface of my van. Actually, it would be great for my whole van.
Its thermochromic pigment or powder ( white color but changed color when suffer different temperature) . And it’s main material is leuco dye / color former agent ( white color but determine what color it will comes ),We are in supply of leuco dye / color former as the thermochromic main raw materials loacted in china henan province
Very helpful and cool video! Thank you! I'm planning to paint my phone case :)
You're very likable. For instance, when you tried to stick the brush into the bottle. I actually enjoyed that part. It could have gone South real quick, but there's something about you. Seriously, good stuff. Recently, I purchased black pigment and performed a few quick tests. Since, my head has been spinning with ideas. You've shed light into other directions. Thanks. I'll share my creation when complete. Think conductive ink, touchpoint (non-touch), Arduino, sensor, heating element. Coming soon!
Thank you for this tutorial!
it's worth a try.
Thank You for your response.
I guess it's better to do your way.
thank you
I would want to make a painting with a hidden message underneath.
If I painted the message, let it dry and then put the transparent version (what did you use as a base paint to make it turn transparent?) over it, it should reveal the message only when heated, right?
I'm thinking of making a costume which changes colour.
So the idea would be that I have a red base, then I paint it over with a blue pigment. So in the sun the plastic bits of the costume would change from blue to red.
I would use this for fabric :D
Thanks for your video, it helps me so much!
Thanks for the video! Can I ask which products did you use?
I never realised this was Gadget Addict until he mentioned Manila.
I was finding videos about thermochromic paint for my Rorschach cosplay. Does this work on fabric too?
Would I be able to paint this on a mug? Like would it come off at all when hand washing it? Also will this kind of pigment work with hot drinks being poured into the mug? Thanks.
How do you get the thermo. ink powder pigment and basically mix it with computer ink cartriges(or any other homemade type way) so that i can print it or stamp it onto paper?
Hello..great video/ Can I use an orange pigment in green paint...what would the effect be... or should I use clear acrylic or white acrylic ??
Is there any way to have a clear when cold and then color when warm?
Great video. Is this product non toxic?
I'd use it on a tie dye t-shirt with clear fabric paint
Nice idea. Would be interesting to see that!
How do you seal it in. Top coat will it still work?
How would this work on a house? Say in a country where it snows during winter and gets really hot during the summer. Would it work with the type of paint we use on houses?
Can you tell me
how to apply thermochromic paint ??
I bought one at the SFXC store
I need to paint the glass and I do not know how to apply and mix this paint
Hi I'm looking for a paint that glows when hot. My idea would be to paint a round BBQ with the "Lord of the Rngs, ring" writing around the outside. So when used the writing would glow. One choice would be to paint the bbq black with the letters in gold then add a clear black Thermo paint. I think I'll need exterior UV protection too. Any better ideas to achieve the glow would be appreciated. Thanks
This is what I plan to do: I will print an image of a pig on a piece of printing paper. Then I draw on it with a mixed paint made with blue thermochromic pigment and elmers glue. After that dries, I draw a few lines with another mixed paint of red thermochromic pigment and elmers glue. After that dries as well, if I cover the paper with my palm for 30 seconds, can I expect the pig to appear, because all the other layers have become clear? My second question is, when mixing the blue thermochromic pigment with elmers glue, can I use water? Or is that a bad idea?
Nice vedio , or could use the thermochromic powder comes to other colors with paint on the war .if any one need thermochromic materials (leuco dye stuff or color former agent )but pls note , leuco dye is just one part to make themochromic powder , pls note me or if anyone would like know more about it
I'm also interested with heat/uv changing paint. I wonder if it will last if used with car paint. Most prob a uv protectant will be needed. Can you try it with your ride?
You need to put a UV protecting coat on top of the paint. I gave my table two coats of the thermochromic paint and then a couple of coats with a clear UV protecting spray paint. It gets hit with the sun for a couple of hours a day and doesn't seem to have suffered. To make it look good on a car you'd really want to get it professionally sprayed and that's a pretty big commitment, so unfortunately I can't try it myself right now :p
How many times will the table work befpre wearing off and not changing color anymore ?
hi! whered you find the pigment here in manila?
Thank
Where to buy in the Philippines the thermochromic pigment?
I just want to double check something... If I buy the black color changing pigment, and mix it with say green, the unchanged color will be black, and the temperature changed color would be green, correct?
Thanks for the video!

That's the idea, but expect the green to turn a kind of murky green. So you might prefer to paint the surface of your object with green and then mix the pigment with a clear acrylic instead.
This would be fun/interesting used on floors, esp. in an actively used room with a lot of foot traffic (bare-feet of course :)
I like that idea! That would be pretty awesome to see.
Fabric!! Also I was womdering would it reactt o cold weather/ rain?
Heat changing has to be at least 88 degrees or above. The cold changing pigment has to be a lot lower. I'm looking for some myself
does this paint work on walls? so if I wanted my walls to change color when i touch them would this work there as well
Yes, it would :)
i wonder if it can be mixed with plasti dip
+drew surber It's pretty flexible what it can be mixed with :)
can anybody who has actually used this reply to my comment.
if I buy this product for instance and it turns orange to yellow etc.. do I have to stick with white for my mix or can I use any colour and still end up with the same heat/thermal reacted colour.
Cee/ \Gee I mixed it with my clear coat it turned it black which is the color I picked. then I sprayed my black over my original paint job. so now my finish is black and when I apply heat it changes to original paint job. so if you want a solid color mix with clear
he said he's in manila! my home :)
+Angelique Panaguiton I sure am! :) Check out some of my other videos if you want to see some local places and local brands :P
Hey! I'm from Philippines as well, I can't find any shop that sells this, care to tell me where you bought it?
I'm trying to find out the cost of having my bicycle resprayed with thermochromic paint... should be interesting what happens
does this work with colored acrylic paint, or is it only white? Could it work with lighter colors?
Flying Spaghetti Monster It would be better to mix it with white because if you mix it with red for example, you're going to get a dirty black/red color. You can buy different color thermochromic pigments to mix with white and end up with the color you want.
i can put the pigment in my regular paint and mix it and it wont change the color?
+Rashawn Dunston It will change the color of the paint to the color of the pigment. So if you want pink top coat, buy pink pigment and mix it in with white paint of transparent glue. It will appear pink until it gets heated up, at which point it will reveal whatever color is below it.
can you mix the pigment with a clear bar top coating? I'm worried the epoxy will be too thick to allow a color change
+Joshua Knight I haven't tried it but I think you might be right about it being too thick.
+Gadget Addict my idea id to put pictures on a coffee table and cover it in black pigment so it is black until heat is applied. can you mix it with modge podge or would clear paper glue be better?
Joshua Knight That's an awesome idea. I've tried it with some clear PVC glues and it worked fine :)
do you know where to buy pigment that goes from white to clear?
carposporophyte I'd recommend checking out eBay, that's where I found mine. It came from Australia.
Hi, Where can I buy the Thermochromic Pigment Paint?
Can you mix it with angelus flat black and acrylic leather paint ?
+Kaiwaun Poindexter No idea but if the paint is black, you won't have much luck mixing pigments with it. At best you'll get a light gray.
If I need to remove the paint, is there a way?
My Nerf Hyperfire project!
I would use it on a pair of tennis shoes to customize them.
Cool idea. That would be groovy !
I want to customize a pair of shoe if I say paint a picture and I want the picture to show when u touch it how would I do that or what pigment would I get
I'm not sure to be honest. This pigment might work but I'm not sure how well it would hold up against that kind of wear and tear.
if i paint a shoe red then paint the same shoe with the pigment will it show red
+Rashawn Dunston If you painted the shoe red and then put black pigment over the top, it would appear black when cold and red when hot.
OMG Sheldon Cooper! ;)
Milo Mi i was gonna say!!
carposporophyte close your legs sheldon
+Milo Mi Bazinga! I was gonna say that as well!
Milo Mi 00 deserve h
can you make your own pigment or is that store bought?? if so where did you get it
It's a specific color but they sell various ones. I got it on eBay :)
So if I put blue paint and then put a black pigment it will look black but when I put heat the blue would show
Stevo Ibarra Yup, that's how it's meant to work :)
Hey! I dont know if you will even respond to this query, but I am really short of options. I am looking for a colourless to coloured thermochromatic pigment (red to be specific), is it available in US?
Most of these pigments seem to ship from Australia or China. So I guess you'd just need to pay the shipping feed.
How to make white to black base shifting paint
Great video. I have a question for you as I'm in need of help. I'm doing my final major project for university (Graphic design) and I basically have to design something that shows the combination of design and chemistry. I have chosen to create a visual Thermochromatic science labratory. I wanted to know how i'd go about applying thermochromatic paint to glass tubes etc. Also, if I printed a book, how would I apply it to the front cover?
Any ideas?
Many thanks.
Hi, I am also at university doing my final project in architecture. I am using the pigments to create a colour changing stained glass window. I was wondering how your project went and if it worked on the glass or not? I would love to hear how it went. Thanks
How do you make the pigment?
Mango Squishies you buy it
Hi,
can this paint be used on textile? If so, would it be durable?
+Maseh Nuristani I'm not sure. It's pretty cheap so maybe just buy some and test it out :) Come back and let us know if you try it! :)
+Gadget Addict
Will do, thanks 👍
I have a question I think I am a little confused. So say I have an object that I want to look black, but look red when you touch it. Would I add black pigment to red paint or red pigment to black paint? Thank you
+Brandon Gray I guess you'd have to paint it red and then put a black pigment over the top :) that way it will be black most of the time but reveal the red when warmed up :)
+Gadget Addict thank you
+Gadget Addict hello! Following up from this comment, if i wanted the black pigment to be on top will i have to mix the black pigment with clear glue? or can i use paint? and if glue, what type of glue should i buy? Thank you so much for sharing this video!
+Gadget Addict and I wanted to reveal white underneath the black. Do i need to paint the paper white before? or will it reveal white anyway from the white paper?
can I apply it to acrylic leather paint?
+Allijah McClean I've never tried so I can't say. Sorry.
can we apply this to leather
Vertis M. Wilder I've never worked with leather so I'm not sure. I doubt it would work though.
id'e use it on my bike but i cant find a thermal pigment here in manila, could you tell me where i could find some locally?
I've not seen it being sold locally. I ordered mine on ebay from a seller in Australia.
could you tell me where you saw it being sold locally?? hehehe am kinda on a tight budget...
Debbie Arcilla I've never seen it being sold locally, sorry.
I've never seen it sold locally, sorry. It was pretty cheap from Australia on ebay , even the postage was pretty cheap :)
thank...
How can I do if I want hot pink to show when I put my Hands on it.
Abigail Nieves You'd mix the pigment with the pink paint and then paint it onto a surface. The surface would look black and then when you put your hand on it the black would turns transparent and you'd see the pink. Or you can buy an alternative color to the black pigment.
hi can you please help me? i'm desperate for assistance.
I'm using Turn Thermo thermochromatic pigment, mixed with speedball's transparent base (says for screen printing, but people on amazon say it works fine with the thermo pigment?).
The consistancy is strange and a jelly form. As i apply it, it gets scrapped off in the process, so i cannot make an even spread.
Please help? Am i not using the right type of transparent base? (because i think they sent me the wrong product, but i'm not sure).
PLEASE HELP ))):
I've never tried mixing it with that exact substance. It can be very hard to get the pigment to mix with certain things and just takes a lot of time folding it in/mixing it. Have you tried with something else like a clear acrylic glue or wallpaper paste or even white paint as a test?
Gadget Addict Thank you so much for replying! *cries*
i'm not quite sure what you mean by clear acrylic glue? Can you give me an example?
and i cannot use pigmented paint, as i would like it to be clear when heated.
I am painting this on paper, as you are. What can you recommend to get an even coat with a good consistency? (not a jelly form that scraps off while being applied)
omgitsCLO I understand you want a clear coat, but mixing a small amount with white acrylic would let you know if the problem is with the base or your pigment itself. Many people use wall paper paste or any liquid transparent glue that they can find at the hardware store. I've not experienced the problem that you're having. Although I have found it difficult to apply to some surfaces, like plastics.
Gadget Addict the thermo part of pigment works fine >
omgitsCLO You can use clear acrylic emulsion or wallpaper paste :)
Hi! Im from PH, where can i buy pigmented paint?
Unfortunately I couldn't find it being sold locally. I ordered it on eBay from Australia. It was pretty cheap and the postage was minimal but it took quite a long time to arrive. Well actually it arrived quickly but it took a long time for the PH post office to process it and tell me it has arrived :P
Cud it work on rubber ?
Hmm no idea on that, sorry.
where do you get this stuff
+jevon kane eBay from a seller in Australia :)
does CDR King also sell this?? :) interesting videos.
Unfortunately not. I ordered it on eBay, it came from Australia. Took about 2 weeks to get into the PH but about 4 weeks before QC post office told me it had arrived.
When you said Manila, did you mean Manila in Philippines? Where'd you get the pigment from? :) and how much did it cost?
+Louis Gutierrez Yup Manila Philippines. Is there any other? I got the pigment on eBay from an Australian seller :)
+Gadget Addict well I was just making sure. Thought you got one here. How much do you get those? Darn I wish I could get some too. :)
