Todays paint project

[CaptainKyle]

Well I very seldom paint any more but a buddy talked me into painting his chopper so I done this job today with Chrystal FX. Its the first time I have used this stuff in about 6 years overall I am pretty happy. Its hard to get the total effect in pics . Its not perfect but nice Now Christine wants her bike done with it.

Looks good, Kyle! It reminds me of the Saran Wrap applied to the wet color coat in the 1970's for the 'scratched' effect. That was after the lace-as-a-stencil era.

That's totally cool Kyle! I like it.
How the hell is it done like that? Stencil?
The finish looks pretty nice in the pics. :biglaugh:

edit : I just saw another post with pics of some sort of crystals between coats.

Christine wants hers done in like 4 diffrent colors kind of like tie dye. I am trying to talk her out of it 2 colors is enough of a pain in the ass to work with.

BUff Buff Buff ! I helped a friend out with it in Texas he done the spraying im pretty sure I can do it after helping him with his trial & error. You really have sand & buff the intercoat clear untill its like glass.

I always really liked this paint. Something I never knew is that you can kind of control how the crystals turn out. Pretty cool stuff.

Controlling the Crystals is a pain. I like the natural air dry big ones but every one is diffrent.

 

[redneksoldier]

I agree, the larger crystals looks cool. I was checking out their website and I also kind of like the small swirling effect.

Wow, that's some wild stuff. Looks good from here.
