How to get a crystal paint finish

[@torquelords]

Seems like the technique is getting a hit on the internet.. I was amazed by the results shown in some of the reels but more surprised to see this was done 11 years back.. ☠️

[@xavierlipscomb2000]

Oh shi. I ain’t even notice this was 11 years ago. Good looks bro

[@Maxou_996]

The result with red and black is very impressive! Good job!

[@customspraymods]

Hello, its a Cormack Iwata 1mm. I dont know what air pressure it was at but the regulator dial was set to one turn out. Applying the basecoat is fairly easy and most spray guns will give a good base finish.

[@customspraymods]

@Isaac James Sturdee yes but you would have to use a primer first. then apply the basecoats.

[@customspraymods]

You can apply these crystals to any solid surface. As long as the topcoat that is sprayed over the crystal mask can adhere to the surface it will be fine. For bare metal spraying an etch primer then a base colour first is recommended.

[@Alyathaean]

Love both. The blue looks like ice and the red.... I would love to see some with a darker green and black like the red one.

[@customspraymods]

Cool, New video about fixing scratched plastic is out soon.

[@customspraymods]

Once the crystals are removed it should be as flat as can be. no need to spray extra coats. I only sprayed 2 coats of clear.

[@customspraymods]

Hello, Just scuff your panel with grey scotch pads then apply the crystals. Then your black basecoat, Rub off the crystals then clear.

[@customspraymods]

It can be done with spray cans.

[@customspraymods]

Yeah it would work on a rocker cover. Apply the last coat of colour very lightly and it will be easier to remove the crystals.

[@customspraymods]

Anything with a free air delivery of over 200 Liters Per Minute. The size of the motor and tank or the CFM will all contribute to how long the compressor will last over time. Liters Per Minute will supply the gun with the pressure it needs.

[@customspraymods]

@ashvx Yeah but its flammable so its quite expensive.

[@sandramarques5760]

Hey I got a metal cart from my workplace before they threw it out. I want to make it my turntable and record holer with lights. I have painted it blue from black already. But I want to add detail. Any suggestions??? Actually my husband did the base color cause freaked and didnt want to ruin it. I have an idea in my head for adding detail. I checked out stencils at Michaels. Any ideas. The blues is already done...I'm seeing details in black and silver.

[@RonGotSole]

Will the crystal effect work with a waterbazes acrylic paint?

[@customspraymods]

If your after a candy look just clear over the candy basecoats.

[@1234rinor1234]

Can this be done on interior house walls?? Looks insane

[@Tha_AntiChrist]

You could use color shift paint under the crystal paint and I bet it would be insane looking

[@vikentsiataev2199]

Hello. Can you send me a price for cost to paint my sprinter in black base with gold crystals. Thank you so much, this is amazing 🤩 ❤

[@STRAIGHTP]

wow. the red one came out amazing. Never seen this technique before

[@randy3577]

on the black and red are you spraying Primer, then Met Silver, Then Candy Red, then crystal, Then Black, then Sand and clear coat?

[@bbdog10]

should do chrome underneeth then the crystal then red on top. will that work??and how will that look. just thought about it for my truck hood.

[@codygauthier8382]

I am wondering if just a translucent paint would work as a top coat rather than thinning it so much... any input?

[@aksentijebogdanovic1608]

what is the correct name of this product? I'm from Serbia, so I'm interested in whether it can be found on eBay

[@jon590]

They both look great! I would love to paint a guitar with this effect.

[@gianlucatafi4784]

interesting can we know where to buy? kindly send link for purchase?

[@trip5524]

Would this work well with gloss black

[@nashtonkin3602]

do ya reckon it would be all good for a beginner to do?

[@rodaliddilada3082]

what is a partner of crystal green,to become an apple green?

[@l00920]

Is that only for candy paint or can that be done with any paint?

[@guythomson5833]

I work in the sign industry. This product could be worth some big bucks for the right customer . Thanks for the vid !

[@sindragan895]

Wath cristal fluid name is❤❤❤

[@angel85lx]

I have used crystal fx with mixed results. First you are spraying the contrast color on to wet. Its more of a mist coast. U should just be able to remove with a wet sponge if u need to use a scuff pad then u went to wet. Also temperature can make the affect go from small webs if its hot to long web affect if its cold. Also i usually spray on a cleared surface.This can also make a different affect if you sand the clear in circles the web affect will look like swirl affect if it sand straight the web will be longer. Its a cool affect but tricky get.

[@Joe.Dillion]

Where can you buy this stuff like to try it out

[@angel85lx]

rttguy1969 alsa paint supply or coastairbrush

[@dominicvirtudes6593]

Will this work on a bike frame though?

[@enzo1234069]

Ejat steps would you have to add subtract skip or save for later ...lol... to add more colors to the patern lats say you wanna do a purple and green with some black in there for accent how would one go about doing that... or ever black and white accents

[@lesliwells5433]

what size tip for spraying the crystals

[@XxMazdaSpeed3xX]

Fantastic work! Those pieces turned out freaken awesome!

[@geraldojoaquimferreira9557]

Parabéns

[@customspraymods]

If you want to apply it to the existing paint just rub it back with 800g wet then apply the crystals then topcoat then clear. Ya looking at under $100 worth of material.

[@PBS-nm1uu]

great paint job what are the mixture and the brand for the material

[@WICowboy2k1]

Are those just Solid Basecoats, and solid contrast? Also would it work with Candies?

[@landonstovall8579]

so wait after you scrub off the crystals do you need spay another coat of the base or just clear coat? by the way the red does look better.

[@MrBrownstone6485]

if i were to do this to a vehicle, could the crystal stuff be sprayed through a spray gun?

[@jstevenson796]

i like the look but how smooth could you get it? i mean if you had to sand it how easy is it to mess up the look?

[@xDeviLZeee]

Could you possibly try something like this to a dash of a car?

[@martymart-io1kd]

Hi nice job, can it use a pearl 2k top coat over the crystal or does it have to be candy transparent?

[@redbaron2448]

Send link for the Crystals

[@martinharris5017]

Urea crystals and distilled water with detergent makes the crystal FX additive.

[@RNGA93]

After this would you then sand it down to give your final finish?

[@MyRandomLife247]

Whats the difference between this and a candy finish????

[@00Mass00]

What is the chemical name of the crystallizing stuff? Is it available in other countries as well? you see we have import taxes which pretty much dubble the price of the product if I would order it in US so yeah..

[@mastagamingtv2956]

do you have a video on chameleon? anf if so i site to buy the paint at good prices?

[@DennisMook-ky6lx]

Looks good mate im spring a car so thanks for the tips

[@randystewart7427]

I have a guitar that I've been looking for the right paint combination for. I think this works. Can you provide a list of the materials and color codes used for the red? I own a custom car paint shop...I wanna get it right.

[@lekhpaldevasi6214]

What chemicals you used sir?

[@mohammadalsaidah9450]

How can i get a one of these?

[@michaelwho]

Cool effect. I get something similar ish using a feather duster. Almost looks like galvanized surfaces. Stippling the color(s). It’s an old theatre scenic technique. Schlepitchka. Haha. Google that Nice work on your spraying and techniques.

[@henr661b]

im from denmark and i dont know where to buy that chrystal thing u spray on do you got a good webside to buy it?

[@lizettezavala3322]

what number sand paper did u use

[@editandfit2025]

What was that white Cote?

[@McCarlSpeed]

Whats the name of the song at the end?

[@Gren369]

i know this might be a dumb question but what size compressor is good for spraying a car without interuption?

[@SC86Canada]

Hi Dave, I am wondering if these paints, the metallic paints and the crystal effects work on wood projects? and what I might have to do to get these paints on wood and get them to have a similar result

[@WICowboy2k1]

that red on black is really slick, Im just wondering if the same could be done with gold colored crystals on a black background. That would be sharp on my Harley

[@davidmacfadyen165]

Nice video of real time scrubbing off the crystals, thanks mate. If you haven't already maybe a marble effect video please, i'll check now. 👍

[@russellleepunzalan2222]

Cool paint job. I'm just wondering if the crystals are safe to use on plastics? Thinking of applying that color scheme to my scale model. TIA

[@philfox9059]

On the red fender" did you use red kandy over silver. Or red base coat?

[@customspraymods]

Sure can.

[@bestsanja]

Hi. I have ordenery car paint shop at norwey. I would like learn paint like you. Something from costums paint style. Can you help with some advices?

[@mozzmann]

My advice is to get some White test panel sheet or those small car shaped test shapes , and simply experiment , anything from water transfer to specialise candy translucent tints over silver of coloured base coats , Marble effect is very easy to achieve as well. The secret if there actually is one is practice and experimentation.

[@kckeeper1]

where can you get the cans then??

[@aaronking6033]

how to do this on an RC body. they ahve to be painted from the inside out?

[@customspraymods]

Cant be done inside out. RC car bodys can be painted from the outside. Scuff with scotchbrite then apply plastic primer. Then start this process. The clearcoat is pretty flexible but flex additive can be put in for more flex.

[@Dvalderrama112]

Will using metal flakes on clear coat cover up the effect?

[@LabJapan]

Looks nice Dave. Keep it up.

[@__dedan]

What’s the name of the color/paint?

[@custompainter]

Are you using lacquer based? Waterborne based? Or urethane based colors?

[@A_Class216]

Can I combine this with crackle paint

[@Maxy861]

would it be possible to do this on a rocker cover?

[@alexandrulovasz9562]

Where can we find that liquid ??

[@MrMataMelihat]

on the red panel, do u wet sand the masking coat or just use some course sponge? and do you lay another red after the sanding or you just spray clearcoat? thanks bro.. great video btw..

[@redbach23tube]

whoa....looks like the fumes got to you for a moment there mate.... can you tell me what kind/brand of spray gun you are using? and also where can I get one... thanks

[@redbaron2448]

Link for the Crystals 👍

[@hellenic300]

hey mate, could you do a video using that LunarAluzionz Mabrilazer paint from vg auto paint cause i'm curious to see what it looks like. I'm planning to respray my car champagne and to paint the interior trims champagne but with either the mutant crystals or this marbilizer stuff

[@michaeldelena9972]

How much crystal effect price

[@RGD-Games]

looks fantastic.. Im planning on re-painting my custom built motorbike soon, might try this on the tank :) i was wondering.. The colour i want my bike to be, i can only get the paint in Cellulose.. But i want the paint durable from fuel etc.. Can i clear coat 2K over it? to give it that protection.. or can you not paint 2k over cellulose? cheers

[@gladismelgoza7512]

Hey i need to know. I have my own car colored dark red. How can i do it with crytal? Can i do crystal on it or do i have to paint white then red then black for crystal then candy red? Or what?

[@RicksWorld91]

[@chrisstratton3430]

[@customspraymods]

[@rodericktasin3831]

[@Delfi1900]

Why not just use serán plastic to wet paint to get same pattern,, then clear coat?? I have used this method and it is very easy and looks amazing,, great job thanks for sharing,,,👍🏼👍🏼

[@DirtbikeDad]

Would this work on clear lexan ? Such as a RC car body ??

[@customspraymods]

Robert Storey sure will mate. I've seen it done before.

[@r2dnel]

Can you do a vid on color matching mudguards?

[@fernandezsoliel]

[@skippyclarke8473]

[@fearsumnutter]

@customspraymods is it possible to do a crystal paint on a rocker cover? Or would it not work coz of the rough surface? And also would it look good? I'm thinking of painting mine like that red lout not sure whether it will look good or just turn out bad

[@eight-dg3oz]

[@FuriousJz]

[@danawick9817]
