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.

[@ryannichols8315]

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.

How durable is your candies I live in Florida and all the vehicles here always end up fading so all youll see is gold or silver roof,hood and trunk lids and side panels have candy paint on them.

[@CreatexColors]

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. We're also proud to say Createx paints won best of paint and 2nd overall (an Elite 8 car) at the 2020 Detroit Autorama's Riddler Competition. Thank you.

[@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.

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.

[@jamessellers8472]

Curious if methods would change at all depending on your surface material such as wood versus metal for instance?

[@CreatexColors]

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.

[@StevieDeez]

Can this effect be done with a non candy transparent top coat over the marble metalic? something like a thin coat of wicked detail paint?

[@CreatexColors]

Marbeling can be done without using a candy. As always, its best to make a test panel or two to experiment with technique and the finished outcome. Thank you,

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. For more about masking & taping, please watch, kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ_LiJeoabeiY6M. Thank you.

[@fsallin9850]

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.

[@garryfutrell7716]

what's the best way to get this effect onto a RC body?

[@CreatexColors]

We've not tried to reverse paint a marble effect, so not sure if this works, but you can test by first applying candy2o, then, backing that with a clear (2k best option) so as to prevent the silver and candy2o from bleeding into one another. After the silver marble effect, back with 6002 AutoBorne Sealer Black. Compare this versus painting the outside of the RC body and applying a clear over the candy2o. Thank you.

[@JuanGarcia-vp5tm]

Is more easy paint silver and add Black on top and use any plastic take Black out ?

[@CreatexColors]

Best way to determine this is to make a test panel comparing the techniques. Thank you.

Can you try this again with a natural SPONGE? Seems like that would be insane...

[@CreatexColors]

There are a wide variety of techniques that can be used to create a marbled graphic. Make a few test panels. Thanks.

[@yakkyuu12]

Is your black paint wet or dry when you lay the plastic wrap on it?

[@CreatexColors]

Dry. For best effect, ease of application, allow the black base to thoroughly air dry. Thanks.

[@SthrnShutterbug]

I am thinking about using this technique for the base on my motorcycle tank, and then pinstriping over it... is the texture caused by the marbling a problem.. when you lay the plastic on the substrate, you can see in your video that it leaves a texture as well as a pattern.. is that going to cause problems with the clear?

[@CreatexColors]

This technique will require 2 clear sessions to bury the marble effect. Apply 3 - 4 coats of clear, scuff flat using @ 600 - 800 grit, then apply 2 or 3 more coats of clear. Make sure to keep re-coat times open so there is enough flashing of the solvent. Thank you.

[@SthrnShutterbug]

@@CreatexColors Thank you for the response and information.

[@SthrnShutterbug]

@@CreatexColors I have another question, so i thought id pop back here and see if you could answer for me... If i am wanting silver pinstriping around the marbled area... would i use silver autobourne sealer, tape IT, paint over it with black (autobbourne sealer i guess?) .. do my marbling with aluminum and candy color(s), and then remove the tape for the pinstriping, or would i need to use the silver autobourne sealer, then a sliver metalic paint (not sealer) to tape before my black layer? (in other words, can the silver autobourne sealer serve as the paint layer for my pinstripping? )

[@tradesmith_yt]

Would it be cool to brush out the quicksilver onto the palette? My gun don’t spray heavy.

[@tradesmith_yt]

Also if I wanna do candy black could I do a mettalic elegance or pearl white base?

[@CreatexColors]

Your inquiries are best addressed by a test panel. Quicksilver can be applied by brush, or better poured onto wax paper then dabbed on with scrunched-up plastic wrap. A test panel will show what candy2o Black looks like over various metallic bases. Test various mixing ratios, something between 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear 8:1 candy2o Black, up to 12:1. Thank you.

[@wtthinker]

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?

[@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.

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.

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.

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.

[@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.

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?

Probably more like sealer, then directly to the plastic wrap, then candy and clear.

An inter-coat of 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear applied over the silver before candy2o could be done, although not absolutely necessary, it could be a good step to add. Thank you. createxcolors.com/scenix-mural-theme-paint/uvls-clears/4050.html

Stunning result

thanks!

Man that would look great on a hot wheels car. I'm going to have to figure that out being such a small surface to work with.

[@CreatexColors]

Thanks!

[@GollesFpv]

is it W351 WICKED SILVER you are using or what silver is it ?

[@CreatexColors]

6013 AutoBorne Silver Sealer. Thanks.

[@GollesFpv]

@@CreatexColors would the w359 do the job ?

[@CreatexColors]

Silver Sealer has the same aluminum flakes as Aluminum 4102 Medium and 4103 Coarse, which is more reflective compared to Metallic Silver (W359). To see the difference, and whether you like the marble effect with W359, make a test panel comparing the two. Thank you.

[@freerangeautomaticoutlawsk5462]

Are you saying in this video you used the silver sealer? I'm a little slow on the uptake some days

[@kaneetsate1662]

Where can I get those panels?

[@CreatexColors]

the panel is a powder-coated, aluminum sign blank. if that term is Googled, a few online suppliers appear where to get them. thanks

That turned out really nice! What colour did you use for the drop shadows on the outer sections? Looked almost like Candy2o Black.

[@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.

Is this a water base Createx?

[@CreatexColors]

Yes, Createx paints are water-based. Thanks.

[@BowtieClusters]

What clear are you using?

[@CreatexColors]

We're using a 2k solvent-based urethane automotive clear; more specifically an Albert Kemperle branded clear. Thank you.
