Airbrush Asylum I custom paint shoes. Do yo think the Mutant Crystal would give the same effect on acrylic paint?

[@codydennis8126]

YES!

Where did you buy the crystallizer product?

[@agelessrealrealbeauty7093]

Wat is the name of that chemical applie before the colour red...

[@devstickers]

I want crystal spray

[@rochab91]

To make crystal formule use: 100ml water 100ml Uréia (you find in agriculture shop) 5ml soap.

[@RonGotSole]

Do you know if this would work on waterbased acrylic paint?

[@wongmbambung3338]

Yes, that is true. very easy to make mutant crystal liquid with low cost 😊

[@rochab91]

@@RonGotSole Water-based paint will dilute when you apply the formula, I don't know if it works, but if you test it, let me know the result.

[@Musclemustang351w]

Any soap? Like dish soap?

Hi AS, Can you use a clayboard panel to create the crystal affect ?

[@Joker_Jones]

Very cool 😎 👌

[@stephanecrapski2949]

That awesome that effect ! you said you spray base coat silver and straight on top you put urea mixture, didn't spray on clear coat ? How much you wait once before spray black coat ?

Awesome

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@malabou75]

Could you use Diesel Exhaust fluid to create the crystals? How would it look had you not painted the panel silver?

[@gregw_729]

Did you apply the solution whilst the silver was still wet? Or waited for it to dry

[@Mc_Rawlings]

This is supper cool and amazing but how can I get the materials and what are they?

[@joshsmith2483]

How long are you allowing each coat of paint to dry before moving on to the next step?

Super bro

[@pewpew1645]

What kind of basecoat paint is the silver and black? Not water based?

[@88s10Durango]

Hi , after the crystals have formed and then you put the second lack coat over them ,,, do you let the black dry before you scrub with the warm water pad ? thanks

[@Falney]

New viewer. I'm guessing that monster of an air brush you used with the silver is the reason you use a shop compressor?

[@peterollins1864]

AWSOME!!!!! 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

Thank you Airbrush Asylum for the wicked tutorial as always! I know this is sponsored, and the idea is to push a product. BUT, I want to just share that this can be reproduced at an albeit shittier quality. Water Urea ammonia common liquid dish soap! Crystal Effect solution is as old as I can remember!

[@RonGotSole]

Can this effect be used on a water-based acrylic paint?

[@donald7953]

Nice 👍

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@vincentvanpot4333]

Can I create the same/similar effects with acrylic paints? (Because I have to paint indoors.) What are all my options for making cool effects but with water based materials?

[@taxitwat1]

How long do you let the black dry for

[@gregshore5970]

My car is silver can I just clear coat over the crystals. I just like the effect and don't want to do any color changes.

[@godsarchitect111]

Can I do this over a regular wall? It would be perfect!

[@scotty2746]

Does this stuff have a shelf life? Used this 6 years ago, and just found half a bottle left over….might give it another go. 👍

[@SMRKustoms]

What is the black paint you used, is it a water based or urethane paint?

[@duki1122]

the black coat after crystal, should I wait until black coat fully dry or like nearly dry?

[@lightsoutrc4327]

Nice

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@hsmallwood40]

I have a gun stock I would like to do this process on and my question is can I use rattle can paint? so I don't have all that expensive paint laying around that I won't use and go to waste.

[@Ghost-ko3zs]

Super easy love the look of this dont no how iv never seen it before! Was wondering after clear coat can this be sanded back to a smooth finish?

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thank you and yes it’s super cool, I would recommend using a ‘build clear’ so it can be sanded smooth and then you can paint over it 👍🏻

[@Ghost-ko3zs]

Airbrush Asylum : perfect il be using this on a project im working on now keep these vids coming mate bin painting from 2k gun, spray can all way to airbrush for about 8 years and still u came with information iv never seen before lol guess i need to start getting back to researching not just using one shop lol thanks again man and keep up these videos

[@crazyvlogs8329]

Can i use sleek instead of clear cot

[@tsmole68]

Loving this effect, does it work over all cured paint surfaces, waterbased, solvent etc. ?

[@DNAPaints]

Works on solvent based, works on all DNA products. havent tested on waterbased, please check the data sheet. dna-paints.com/wp-content/uploads/Mutant-CrystalZ-TDS-V1.5.pdf

[@simonlee8327]

how does it turn out on a textured surface, like on a canvas. may be interesting. thanks love the vids.

[@DNAPaints]

We havent tested on a canvas. Canvases are flexible so not sure if it's going to work. You could give it a go, it may have issues with adhesion. refer to TDS: dna-paints.com/wp-content/uploads/Mutant-CrystalZ-TDS-V1.5.pdf www.dna-paints.com/mutant-crystalz/

[@kursatoz1262]

Merhaba bunu mobilya için de yapabiliyor muyuz

[@flamehead2948]

Can we try this same into the canvas?

[@westmc45]

so can you mask off a large area say for a skull and do this crystal method to have it in the back ground?

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Yes you can mask a section and then crystallize, just make sure it’s a vinyl or fine line tape on the edge as otherwise it may deep through ? As you are applying the crystals heavily with a cloth 👍🏻

[@berangbasanti]

Can we use any base color

[@nfortin24]

How does this stuff take to masking?

[@gurkanevcik6675]

Can you help us please: What are the ideal enviroinmental temperature and Humidity ? My Crystals dont seem to form big.

[@Aces_Eights_Scale_Vision]

Do you think there would be a way to reduce the size of the crystals? I'd like to try this on some of my scale models 1/25 scale.

[@jimboh5131]

I've read that force-drying the solution ( hair-dryer or heat gun ) produces finer/smaller crystals.

[@joshsmith2483]

What are your drying times in-between each step? Will this work with water based airbrush paint? My thought is when you wet the crystals with water to be scrubbed off, all the black paint would come off as well.

[@area52designscustompaint6]

allow the part to cure 30 min at 20 c use a hair dryer on low to be sure its fully dry and use warm to hot water and use your hand to remove the mask effect

[@TW39]

Can I paint that from the inside off a 110scale rc car lexen clear body shell

[@sanjaydatta5653]

How I purchase this mutant crystalz paint in india and what is the price.

[@DanishPaintTech]

It is best for smaller areas.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

I haven’t tried it on anything large🤔 , but I think with any effect it works best as a small feature or as a background for artwork etc 👍🏻

[@babykuttymathew8644]

Waw ..... never I hav seen this type

[@bsartandvlogs427]

Sir suuper

[@dmereel]

Hey mate, Can you use this on warhammer miniatures?

[@MR-de6of]

Is there any way to control the consistency of the effect or size of the crystallization?

[@AirbrushAsylum]

You can definitely play around with it by adjusting the level of crystalz applied, the direction of how you apply it, it all just comes down to experimentation.

[@fstopPhotography]

Can I get this product in the USA?

[@50xCal]

What temperature was the room while the crystals were growing? And how long did it take to grow?

[@AirbrushAsylum]

It happens fairly fast , I think from memory it was raining the day I filmed this so prob around 20oC or just under 👍🏻

[@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

[@5362841973]

[@roberts5erauedu]

how long did this take from start to finish including crystal formation time?

[@area52designscustompaint6]

its all temp related, it can take hours, apply sparingly from a spray bottle less is better allow the effect to cure lightly coat it and let it dry

[@samuelfrodge4988]

Would it be to much if it was flake then mutant crystals then black then candy?

[@area52designscustompaint6]

That can work apply each coat lightly

[@raj_70806]

Where i find crystal liquide

[@mattbilts9582]

Does the mutant crystal have to be applied with a rag as you did or can it be sprayed onto the surface and still achieve the same look?

[@AirbrushAsylum]

As far as I know using the dish cloth is the best method , not sure if it can be sprayed 🤔

[@oldblinddarby2498]

You can spray products like this using spray bottles or those spray paint systems that employ a jar and your own paint with an aerosol can of propellant (cant remember the name, sorry). Brushes and rollers can be employed as well. All will give different results, and the technique, direction of movement, and application method all effect size and direction of crystal growth. It's important to experiment on multiple surfaces before applying to the final surface because even the topography of the surface your painting effects the crystals. For instance I was doing a job and the crystals emphasized the edge of a surface on one side but not the other and it ultimately looked disjointed. I opted to repaint. Sanding direction changes crystal direction growth immensely and can be used to manipulate how they grow. You can get interesting effects by wetting some areas before others, or by varying the volume applied in different areas. I often use an old hairspray bottle to apply these crystal products because it provides an even and very thin mist while still being easy to use and disposable and capable of wetting a relatively large area rapidly Note.... my experiences were with a similar product but a different brand. Best advice is to experiment. Get a bottle and waste it just playing around.

[@oldblinddarby2498]

One additional note... if you attempt to spray, make sure you use a larger opening, not an airbrush, I wouldn't use anything smaller than 1.6

[@DNAPaints]

It's designed to be applied with a rag. dna-paints.com/wp-content/uploads/Mutant-CrystalZ-TDS-V1.5.pdf

[@genesmith2416]

Can you flake it or would the flake cover the crystal affect 🤔

[@AirbrushAsylum]

You could add a mini flake into an intercoat clear and try that or better yet do the flake first and then experiment with doing the crystal over that then candy 😉🤘🏻

[@pierrex3226]

Hi, I'm having issues with my results, the crystals I get are much smaller than yours, what an I doing wrong?

[@RicksAquariumsuk]

I hope you can help me,first can I get this in the uk ,also does it have to be done with a candy paint thank you

[@AirbrushAsylum]

You can get it shipped direct from the manufacturer, dna-paints.com candy is only required to change it from silver to red 👍🏻

[@RicksAquariumsuk]

@@AirbrushAsylum If I use an acrylic paint or water based red paint over the crystal will it cover the crystal effect not showing the effect meaning it will be just a red canvas

[@berangbasanti]

Can we apply this on plastic parts too???

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Should be ok 🤔 you would need to use the appropriate plastic primer to make sure that you don’t have any adhesion problems, reach out to dna-paints.com their tech department should be able to 100% confirm for you 👍🏻

[@mutilation7763]

@@AirbrushAsylum Hi I hope you are very well your videos are very helpful * I have some doubts and I would like your help: 1) what type of silver in spray can you recommend that it be of very good quality and can achieve the same effect? 2) When you apply your candy red over the silver, do you put some kind of sanding sealer clear on top of that, to protect your marble effect, before applying your 2K Polyurethane final clear coat? 3) Does the silver paint have a clear coat on it before applying the crystallizer? or is it just the painting.
