Brad Angove I’m assuming you can use this over House of Color paints not just spray cans?

@BradAngove 4 года назад

It's designed to work over acrylics. Automotive acrylics should fall in that category, but I think House of Kolor is urethane mostly.

I enjoyed your video and liked how descriptive you are, I see a lot of guys making how to videos that lead people totally wrong. I will say you killed me though how you balled up a rag to clean the sanding dust off after scuffing your primer. Just a helpful tip for others, blow the main dust off with air pressure if you can to get most off, then use your rag ( neatly folded lol) so you can flip your rag as you go making sure by the end, your surface is totally dust free. Also a money saving tip, isopropyl alcohol works extremely well for cleaning your surface and saves me a ton over the products like naphtha and other prep solvents.

@mctweddle 4 года назад

I did this with a lumo pink and orange background coated with metallic sparkle clear with a white crackle over the top on a very badly beaten up bass. Looks amazing and my girls had a blast spraying the neon colours randomly over the body. Pickguard was painted by my younger daughter who got left with the guard and a box full of old nail polish. The crackle is fairly fragile (I used cheap stuff) and when I sprayed a clear coat to seal and protect it it ended up crackling even more.

@BradAngove 4 года назад

Sometimes that happens. If you let it dry for a couple weeks the additional cracking might not have occurred. Sounds like a fun project that went well!

Your work is beautiful! Thanks for the vid. I'm looking for something clear to apply over my base colour so the top spray colour will crack.

@BradAngove 3 года назад

There are ways to mix paint so it will do that, but I don’t actually know how to do it and I’ve never bought the additives. I’ve also heard of some options involving putting down a layer of glue to create the shrinking effect, but I’ve never gotten it to work for me the way I want.

@BradAngove 3 года назад

I used their painters touch paint, which is an acrylic or acrylic enamel.

@brianfox340 3 года назад

The effect of the crackle is way stronger where there's overlap between the red and orange, which REALLY drives home the point about thicker base paint layers causing a greater crackle effect. Really cool effect. How hard would it be (and/or how bad would it look) to clear coat this with spray cans? Would waiting less time between base coat and crackle cause deeper/larger crackles?

@BradAngove 3 года назад

I think less time would likely increase crackle size. Clear coating with good quality spray cans would be fairly straightforward. Would take a lot of paint to get it perfectly smooth though.

@markelam6128 3 года назад

Thanks for the video. I've been learning a lot going through a lot of your other videos as well. On this project, I know you used the 2X Painter's Touch series, but did your use gloss or satin red and orange?

@ronnymuir 4 года назад

I literally just finished a crackle effect paint job on a Flying V. The crackle paint went on really well but the Montana Gold Red/Orange base colour was a really gritty/sandy finish, I just couldn’t get a good coverage. As such, when the crackle paint ‘crackled’ the orange/red colour disappeared on some parts and it was while instead! I really like the 2 tone end result and the crackling is brilliant but the Montana Gold paint Red/Orange was horrendous to use!
