id love to see him do silver over black, then black or gray, then silver again. i did that and love the depth. i can only imagine how good he can make it look.

I used to restore steering wheels and late 30s Deluxe Fords had marbleized steering wheels ,I spent alot of time trying to replicate that but never could ,this video finally shows me how!I used to ask everyone and read old magazines to try and duplicate that finish mixing etc ,seriously I spent years wondering. Thanks for making this .

I was gifted an airbrush a couple months ago, decided to forego my usual enamels/lacquers and give acrylics a try, for health and other reasons. Createx seemed to be popular, so I standardized on your brand. It's only recently I've discovered the wealth of how-tos you guys post on this channel, and I'm super-excited to try some of these techniques. Thank you SO much.

Definitely a way to do it. I think putting down your silver, letting it dry and spaying the black over top and then laying the plastic is a better way. You are correct that you can control more of the pattern. But nature doesn't have patterns.

Dude, you do some sick work! I have a couple questions if you don't mind. I've been airbrushing RC bodies for myself for about 3 years now and my hobby has turned into a side business that's really taken off. I mainly use Spazstix and Pro-Line Candy paints for Candy jobs, and for everything else I use Faskolor,Pro-Line, and Wicked. I've been wanting to try Auto Air Candies,but have wondered if they'll adhere to lexan? I've got a Harbor Freight HVLP sprayer and a Detail sprayer that I use for liquid mask,but for my airbrushing I use my Iwata TRN2, Eclipse, Revolution,and Neo BCN. Does Auto Air have to be sprayed with an HVLP sprayer or will one of my airbrushes work? My TRN2 ,Revolution,and Neo BCN have .5 needles/nozzles and I have .3 in my Eclipse. Any tips or advice you could give me before I try and venture into Auto Air for Lexan?

[@CreatexColors]

candy2o works for painting polycarbonate / Lexan. New for 2021, Auto Air Colors has merged into Wicked Colors, each being made with the same acrylic resin. For more about Auto Air / Wicked Colors, please see the information at www.autoaircolors.com. Thank you.

Hi Chris, Thank-you for making this video. Did you buff/polish the clear coat to get that amazing glass finish? I am a beginner and would love to try this with your paint products. Best wishes, Michael.

[@CreatexColors]

It depends. For the best quality finish, buffing a 2k clear works well. However, with the right technique and allowing the base paint to dry thoroughly before top-coating with the clear, buffing may not be required. This particular panel was not buffed/ polished. Thank you.

[@mjhealy3714]

@@CreatexColors Hi, thank you so much for your reply and advice! That sounds great. I'm impressed. :) My best wishes to you. Regards, Michael.

[@laservlx]

Ive always used spray paints or airbrush paints and 2k clear. But I watched a few different videos about the candy2o. Much nicer then what I've used I ordered the blue and green candy2o, along with 4030 clear and 4013 reducer. Was that the right stuff for this kind of affect.? Secondly do I have to clear it with anything before a 2k clear?

[@CreatexColors]

If top-coating candy2o with a 2k solvent-based clear, another clear type doesn't have to first be applied over candy2o. In regard to mixing candy2o, both 4030 and 4050 can be used; 4050 being a newer carrier option that we prefer over the 4030. for more please see our Mixing candy2o video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ7NkKOnbdigZtE, and refer to the candy2o tech data sheet available at www.creatextech.com.

Hi, this is really good. Can you tell me, is the colour transparent? And would it look just as good from a spray can? As I thinking of having a go Tnx 👍

[@CreatexColors]

candy2o is a dye, which is transparent compared to a pigment-based color, which is translucent. candy20 is applied with a spray-gun or airbrush, not a spray-can. For more, please goto www.candy2o.com. Thank you.

Hi Chris, that came out awesome!!! Curious I noticed you left it to dry overnight but i didnt see you sand before clear? is that correct? thank great job

[@CreatexColors]

Createx paints do not have to be (nor should they be) scuffed prior to clear. Apply the first coat of clear medium-wet direct to Createx paints after they've thoroughly dried. A tack / acclimation coat is not recommended. Thank you.

Make a test panel or two to see what the resulting finish is going to be of your proposed color scheme. The colors and technique show in this video works. If the guitar's owner is a friend, ask them to by the needed paint materials. That you're doing a paintjob free-of-charge is a big gesture, they should reciprocate and but the right paints so the result looks great and is long lasting. Thank you.

[@dcable4637]

So from what I've read through comments, you painted on the silver sealer, black sealer, then dabbed on the silver to produce the marbeled effect? Two questions. 1: Whats the purpose of adding the silver before the black when you add silver "texture" afterwards? 2: Is the black base coat completely cured before adding the silver texture with the saran wrap, still wet, or just barely dry to touch? I was playing around with some cardboard last night before I paint this guitar to work out the kinks and even though the paint felt dry, after laying down the light coat, it would stick and pull off parts of the lower layers

[@CreatexColors]

1) the silver technique is a graphic effect, 2) not cured, but dry enough to tape on, shave when sanded, etc. Great job making a test panel! on your next one, please allow more dry time in between coats and before steps. For more dry & cure time and other application info, please refer our Hard-Surface Application Guide at www.creatextech.com. Thank you.

Would you guys recommend using the 4050 to mix with the aluminum for this technique? Or did you just use the straight aluminum color?

Just straight aluminum, as its being manipulated quite a bit, which is easier with an acrylic paint compared to an acrylic- urethane mix created by adding 4050. Thank you.

The marbling technique is done over AutoBorne Sealer Black, which can be applied direct to metal and wood, although with metal an etch DTM may be applied first. Thank you.

[@finetec8911]

Hello, great effect, what kind of plate is that you are painting on? Is it aluminum? Thank you

[@CreatexColors]

Yes, the panel is a powder-coated, aluminum sign blank. Thank you.

[@adamakins9748]

I have noticed that you (like me ) like to touch the project fairly often with bare hands , are you prepping the surface often with a degreaser? if so what are you using and how often. My clear coat guy has reprimanded me many times about it... he clears my stuff at his body shop with PPG products.

[@CreatexColors]

Good question. 1) This is a demo panel, and if for a real client any touching of would be with gloves on and 2) most of the touching was over masked-off edges; the tape was a few inches deep for the underlying , silver tribal-graphic. This paint was removed with the tape and the underlying silver top-coated with a 2k clear. Cleaning Createx paint prior to clear is surprisingly not as critical as with solvent-based paints, however its best not to contaminate the paint, so you're correct that gloves should be worn or paint not touched prior to applying the clear. Thank you.

I'm thinking about attempting this effect on my project, saw in the murdered candy video you added black candy after the color. I was wondering if that would have the same effect on this?

It seems every one knows but me or they would have asked. So help me understand that you painted on a panel that had some sort of vinyl sticker you cut then weeded after or what did you paint the black sealer on. I just bought a load of stuff to do this. But I’m missing that part

[@CreatexColors]

6013 Silver Sealer was first painted, then a border design was creating using masking tape, cutting away the positive design (what is kept silver), then 6002 Sealer Black was applied where the candy-marble graphic was to be applied.

[@devschlong]

Wow. That is awesome. Thanks for taking time to make the video. I notice you touch the dried paint with ungloved fingers. Does that ever cause issues for you?

[@CreatexColors]

Createx paints are not that susceptible to trace oil contamination. Also, when candy2o is mixed 4050 6:1 candy2o, or 8:1, the dried coating is fairly durable and cures to a hard coating which can be lightly touched without affecting the color. Thank you.

[@CreatexColors]

The drop-shadows along the tribal graphic are a 1:1:1 mixture of Wicked Detail Black, Violet and 4004 Transparent base.createxcolors.com/wicked-airbrush-colors/wicked-detail-colors/w051.html Wicked Black & Violet, Createx Transparent Black & Violet could also be used, as can substituting the 4004 Transp. Base with 5601 Transp Base and or adding 4030 Balancing Clear. Whats important is mixing a transparent black & violet, then extending that with a resin based clear to make a very transparent color, then thin a bit, 10% -20% per volume with 4011 Reducer. Thank you.

[@JD-nq4vb]

Did you sand that marble effect paint before you sprayed the candy coat, or did you just let it dry for the 2 hours and then spray the candy? I'm trying to find out when you spray candy over another coat, when/do you sand before candy coat, and when/do you sand the candy coat before a clear coat.

[@CreatexColors]

Do not sand candy2o prior to top-coating with a catalyzed (2k) urethane clear. Allow colors to thoroughly dry, then apply the clear with the first coat being medium-wet. Thank you.

candy2o are dyes intended for exterior coatings, same as what is used in quality solvent-based candy colors. The resin is a durable acrylic-polyurethane, intended for exterior automotive & architectural-grade coatings. Since their introduction in the late 1990s, Createx paints have proven to be a long-lasting, durable paint for use in an automotive base-coat / 2k solvent-based clear coat.
