  • Marble Paint?

    Anyone used it on anything? Does it come out anything like this with just being sprayed, or is there something special you have to do to it?

      I think it involves multiple coatings, and possibly air brushing.

          its easy really
          spray a light base coat, let it cure.
          then spray your darker top coat and while its wet you put crumpled plastic wrap or garbage bags or whatever on the wet paint and pull it off. to give you the marble affect.
          its not to tricky but you need to use a slow activating hardener in you paints if using a a 2 part. dont even try it with rattle can spray paints they try to quickly imo.

            I'll pass on the marble thing. I was looking for a black candy paint and ran across the House of Kolor Marblizer. It really catches the eye.

                    Wow, a bike painted like that, any color, would be smoking hot

                        Heyaa.... I heard someone calling me I have some pics of my bike and I'll try to post one or 2 up for ya.

                        Just be aware that you can do this marble job in different ways. Experiment with it on something else of similar material to see what kind of effect you can give your paint job with the saran wrap. What I did with mine was to "crumble" up the saran wrap and "blot" the marbilizer across the paint job to give the effect that you see on my bike.
                        Oh yeah, my bike have not been buffed so it doesn't have that glossy, shiny look. If I've buffed it, it'll look brighter and shiny.

                        Stay tuned for pics

                        I'm lazy so I snagged those pics from my FaceBook LOL. I'll try to get a close up photo of the paint job if you want that.
                        The front fender wasn't on when I took those pictures over a year ago.

                          just use the dupli-color transparent black over a metal cast base... will look the same
                          then clear with automotive 2 part.
                          alsa is very costly

                            I don't see a transparent black anywhere on their site.
