    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
      @xavierlipscomb2000 Před 3 měsíci +1

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

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

  • @Alyathaean
    @Alyathaean Před 8 lety +6

    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
    @customspraymods  Před 12 lety +1

    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.

  • @STRAIGHTP
    @STRAIGHTP Před 3 lety

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

  • @customspraymods
    @customspraymods  Před 12 lety +2

    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.

  • @customspraymods
    @customspraymods  Před 12 lety

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

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

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

  • @Tha_AntiChrist
    @Tha_AntiChrist Před měsícem

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

  • @REALthugnasty
    @REALthugnasty Před 8 lety

    always wondered how this was done.. a guy that lives near me has his entire truck painted red/black. looks amaziinng the closer you get.

  • @fernandezsoliel
    @fernandezsoliel Před 10 lety +1

    I don't know shit about painting but that was pretty f******* nice bro. Now im going to 2tone my 01 excursion, can't wait. Thanks for the tips.

  • @customspraymods
    @customspraymods  Před 12 lety

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

  • @customspraymods
    @customspraymods  Před 12 lety

    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
    @customspraymods  Před 11 lety

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

  • @customspraymods
    @customspraymods  Před 12 lety

    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.

  • @WICowboy2k1
    @WICowboy2k1 Před 9 lety +8

    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

  • @codylehman4392
    @codylehman4392 Před 2 lety

    I think the red one turned out way better but good job on both!

  • @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. 👍

  • @guilleum2
    @guilleum2 Před 7 lety

    Thanks for posting. This has given me a lot of ideas for traditional painting!

  • @customspraymods
    @customspraymods  Před 12 lety

    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.

    Nothing wrong with what he does it helps people just like MCM.

  • @pornokid333
    @pornokid333 Před 11 lety

    i was worried when it turned out like hard snot when the crystal dried...but wow the end result is show worthy

  • @customspraymods
    @customspraymods  Před 12 lety

    Yes, that would look great.

  • @angel85lx
    @angel85lx Před 10 lety

    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.

    That's alot of work I would rather just go marbelizer and call it a day. But it does look amazing. Great work.

  • @michaelwho
    @michaelwho Před 3 lety

    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.

  • @countryside_guy
    @countryside_guy Před 12 lety

    I love the red and black, it's got a really expensive look to it.

  • @bbdog10
    @bbdog10 Před 10 lety +3

    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.

  • @customspraymods
    @customspraymods  Před 11 lety

    It can be done with spray cans.

  • @Delfi1900
    @Delfi1900 Před 5 lety

    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,,,👍🏼👍🏼

    I like the red and black. I would like to see that on something where it would fade into black.

  • @womackke
    @womackke Před 11 lety +1

    ya do a search for 2K clear in a rattle can. Its professional grade clear with a hardener in a rattle can, the only down side is the can is only one time use when you start spraying so you need one can for each job

  • @00Mass00
    @00Mass00 Před 11 lety +1

    Thanks, I read all about it haha its like 20euro for a kilo so thats about 27$ for 2.2pounds of urea.
    With a bit of water and waterbased amoniac you can make a LOT of that stuff instead of paying 100$ for a liter

    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.

    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.

    Ill have to ask my chemistry teacher from high school to help me. He has cancer and wants to raise some money to support his family in case he doesn't make it. The problem is, his brother in law is in the DEA so we might have to buy a motorhome and make it out in the desert. But I have a feeling it all will turn out bad.

  • @MrMataMelihat
