candy paints always looks so stunningly beautiful on matte finish...thanks for the tutorial!

[@santiagobenites]

Your videos gave me the confidence, as well as the vital tips to do my own frame paint using spray cans. I learned that you must take the time to follow the steps properly, especially the on the frame preparation, and to spend the extra money on a 2K clear coat. Your work is incredible, and thanks for sharing! 👍😁

[@R1davies]

Update; new frame? 😂😂

[@That_Stealth_Guy]

Once again, thanks for the inspiring video! I am really starting to think that the crystal FX paint is the way to go on the rear suspension of my '94 Cannondale Super V project. I painted it an another bike after being inspired by your other videos. The end results were decent but I want to fix some mistakes I made ( On the Super V it is tiny thumbprint left in the 2K clear coat that wasn't quite completely cured when I moved the bike off the paint stand) and the second reason I want to repaint the bike is to challenge myself more. FYI, I also attempted the crackle finish paint job on my '94 Cannondale Delta V.. I couldn't get the crackle to work the way I wanted, so I got busy and sanded down the bike again and repainted it a Acid Green to Titanium Metallic fade. Thank you for the inspiration to get my creative ideas going.

[@MrKrueger88]

Just the best guy on KZbin for giving us the brilliant tips , and his craftsmanship is second to none . Cheers from Australia 👍

[@sankaplays3098]

So glad I found your channel, a lot to learn from you! Thank you for all the lessons you teach, for free. Ignore the annoying herd of people that cannot do a simple Google search themselves for a product they need. You do amazing work my friend. Greetings from Holland.

I'm absolute fan !!!!! another nice job and tutorial !!!!!!!! Many thanks Martin !!! :) :)

[@dwarferino.airsoft]

The matte color gave it a completely different look, good job !

[@ChronoCard]

Okay, I did this and was having issues with the effects paint beading up when applied to the frame.. I then tried it with dish soap and it worked, but the crystals weren't large enough for me. So, I tried it again. Don't forget to shake the ox gall! I thought I had a bad batch when I tried to coat the frame with a 2% ox gall/water mixture and it beaded again but then accidentally knocked the bottle of ox gall over when I went to reach for it for a second batch and noticed it started foaming. Gave it a quick shake, added it to the mixture and it worked like a charm. Thanks, Martin! My friend is going to love the amazing paint job!

[@nogood2063]

Did you use the same ratios as in he video? I am trying it now but it’s not quite working the same. I tried the dish soap and that helped with the beading, but with or without the soap I couldn’t get the crystals to grow enough.

[@ChronoCard]

@@nogood2063 I used the same ratio. If it's still beading, I'd hit it with a clear coat then sand it.

[@nogood2063]

@@ChronoCard thanks! It wasn’t working on my painted frame, but the metal spoon I was using to mix it had crystals growing. I believe the surface wasn’t optimal for the crystals.

[@cyclemadkiwi]

Today I started shopping for this paint job! Added to my collection of Montana Gold. I have to wait to get the Candy colors but found a local supply (in the new year after our Christmas break). I have just purchased a second hand Full Carbon Track bike frame that had Stickers....I cannot stand for that, so, I measured and drew the decals to get stencils cut and removed all the stickers. I have the perfect blank canvas to do this paint job, I just can't wait to get this done and have the most unique paint job on the track! You inspire so many and love your work....see how I go. You beauty! Merry Christmas.

[@trirunner2520]

Another great video! I love how you break it down to a level I can follow. If I wanted to do this, but add the bike logo, could I just mask over the silver base coat with the decal before doing the crystal effects and the black / candy coat finishes. Then remove the decals showing the logo in silver followed by the 2k clear coat?

[@mallias2683]

That is a work of art....

[@MegaCountach]

I've done three bike paints myself lately, and this is something that I absolutely have to test out next summer. This is some next level stuff!! I'm already thinking about leaving some other colour under decals, and the using the awesome crystal pattern everywhere else on the frame :D Anyway, stunning work, and what a great instruction video! ❤️‍🔥 Thanks for the pro tips! Now I just have to find similar paints from Finland AND a new bike project... 😄

[@ghost93rvc]

This is awsome! I love your video's, good to see that you are doing more tutorial style video's. I do have some questions regarding painting, what paint do you use in your airbrush? How do you prevent paint bleeding under stencils with low opacity colours? Maybe you could do a video regarding basic airburshing techniques and using stencils, including cleaning the airbrush and preventing clogs etc.

[@ETOE]

1k nitro and acrylic, 2K clear, spray paint, nearly everything.

[@Chas75]

Just awesome!!

[@ETOE]

Thanks again!

[@junksmiles]

I absolutely love your videos and they've given me the confidence to paint my carbon frame. I have an S-Works Ready to Paint frameset. The logos are just decals. And it looks to have a very thin clearcoat layer over the bare carbon. How much prep work is required for the Specialized Ready to Paint frames? Do I need more than a quick sanding or scuffing of the clear coat? And my plan is using the 1K primer you linked, Montana Gold spray cans for a simple gold logo and white background, then the 2K gloss clearcoat for a shiny finish. Does that sound good? Also, do you have any tips or experience with the Montana Gold Marble Effect spray cans? I was thinking about doing a marble effect. Keep an eye out in the future. Maybe you can do a critique video because I'm trying to use all of your tips to get a quality job done.

Hello, The crystals worked finaly. I have painted a project and gave it a really really light coat with montana gloss transparant varnis because i also used water based acrylic markers. But is it possible to put a 2k varnis coat on it after 12 hours dry? And must i light sand this layer before 2K (i used candy colors so can not sand much! )

If my basecoat is not metallic, could I add pearl to the crystal effect solution? Or should I try to add the pearl on top of the basecoat while it’s tacky
