[@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.

[@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]

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.

[@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.

[@skinnypmpn]

Very beautiful effect

[@CreatexColors]

[@VictorOrtiz-hk8dn]

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.

[@VictorOrtiz-hk8dn]

@@CreatexColors I appreciate you answering my question. I've used and have your products for air brushing. Just never used the candies because I was scared of them fading. 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,

[@StevieDeez]

Thanks! One more question, could I technically do this by just applying the paint directly to the saran wrap instead of transfering it from the painted plastic to the saran wrap?

[@kalvinhill5308]

what is the model of your paint gun? amazing work. Thanks for sharing.

[@CreatexColors]

The spray-gun is an Iwata W400 with a LV-WBX 1.3 tip. The WBX is a 3-way split tip and sprays Createx paints better compared to the 4-way split tips. Thank you.

[@JuanGarcia-vp5tm]

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

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.

[@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? )

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.

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.

[@AMusicalPsychosis]

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

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?
