I do crackle paint jobs and if you use a flat color you can put a high gloss clear and still a crackle out of it. The cans tell you which colors work best with the crackle. Thicker base coat usually gives you bigger crackle. Awesome job!

@GarryParker Год назад

Great tutorial, thanks. Who at Montana thought it was a good idea to name their paint ranges after colours? I think they must have inhaled too much paint at the time!

@eddiejr540 Год назад

Nothing says metal/hard rock like a pointy crackle guitar….I think it came out great….freakin love it bro!!!

@johnsurreal Год назад

Love your tutorials Sir, I've been building up my paint jobs accordingly and it's getting better all the time. Keep up the good work Mark!

@diegodoesmusic Год назад

You’ve been such a huge inspiration to me!!! I did my first crackle on a guitar using your videos as a guide. 🤘🤘

@VoyeurGuitars Год назад

You have no idea how much I appreciate this video Mark. 😎 I've got a Jackson JS2 Concert Bass that I plan on (eventually) putting a crackle finish on, so this video is awesome.

@TheRealJakeRyanMusic 10 месяцев назад

Wow, by far the best guitar painting tutorial

@kamikazekev Год назад

Excellent Job. This is the kind of content I'm after on RU-vid. Thank you

@apope2666 Год назад

I've used Montana Gold cans for my base coat. I got nice medium to large cracks. When I used a different brand (Dy-Mark, Australian brand) for the colour base coat I got really small cracks. I've also used the rustoleum 2x for my primer, but never used it as colour base coat. Thanks Mark for all you info and tips, they've been useful into my attempt at doing a crackle paint job

@guitarhustlerdan 10 месяцев назад

Nice! Going to attempt one soon and upload it! Just ordered the paint. THANKS!

It came out great 🎸👍.

@mykneeshurt8393 10 месяцев назад

I think this crackle job turned out great. I like that size of crackle. Nice job.

@mako4x4 Год назад

Great tutorial. I’ve also seen guys use blow dryers and even flames to assist the drying to try to get larger cracks. I’m going to be trying out my first crackling paint job using Montana Red and Montana black crackle on a guitar my son and I are painting. Unfortunately the humidity here in Florida is extremely high now so it might be a while before we actually paint it.

@BrokenRogue 10 месяцев назад

I always put a fan on the crackle and it really helps a lot.

That's awesome! If you're ever asked to do a bowling ball finish, like those Tom Anderson Pro-Am guitars, please do record it!

@randymiles904 Год назад

Awesome video man. I'm planning to build a stranger things warlock replica. Lol but I was unsure how to do the crackle finish. This was very informative. Thank you. 🤘

@GuitarGuts Год назад

Glad I could help!

@jacklambert4958 Год назад

I’m planning on doing the same thing. Guitar Kit World has a Warlock bass kit that I’m going to get in a couple of months. I’d love to see how your Warlock is coming out, do you plan on posting a video of your progress? Thanks, Jack

@brettsjoholm Год назад

Great content. One of the best I've seen on RU-vid to help me but I can't believe you fast forward the actual painting! That is the most important part! :O

@UncleSasquatch Год назад

I see it 👀 ❤️

@zjdoliver 3 месяца назад

Thank you for the video. I just tested this several times without success. I noticed you showed gloss black with primer in the video and then i noticed the link in the description which was gloss black with no primer so I'm curious if you changed the paint to get better results. When I switched to just gloss black with no primer I got it to look amazing!

@Ari_Calamari Год назад

I do think Montana recommends using Montana gold series laqcuer with this. Montana white is their budget series. The Montana Black is matte, I believe.

@DeformedDevices 7 месяцев назад

Ive been struggling with gold base coat. It just completely peels off after the crackle goes on. I wonder if it is specifically with the gold.

@florian_thrash Год назад

Do bevels look good on crackle? Like crackle paintjob in white + black bevels or so? Would be cool if you can check that out

@chriseyres9995 7 месяцев назад

Hi, great video and very informative. Just one question. Would this type of crackle spray work on epoxy resin pieces? If not what if there is one would work best? Thanks in advance. Subd

@seana6445 Год назад

I got Montana crackle awaiting a RR3 build. Will post a video of my process when I spray. I was going to use the Montana base coat but knowing that you’ve already ruled it out I think I’ll use the Rustoleum 2x as base. What about spraying the top coat sooner than 45 minutes after the 3rd base coat? Will that give big a$$ cracks like we want to see? Maybe only wait 20 minutes or maybe 10?

@robertscott3399 Год назад

ive tried the montana i dont like for one thing bthe ystate its a modified nitro it cannot be miniral spirits removes it. and mineral, spirts dont remove lacquer of any sort.., i found mohawk crackle lacquer wht,clear tintable and black quart and galon. fasted eaiest way acrylic basecoat dry24hrs then spray the crackle top coat bang and the heaver the coat the bigger the cracklexs i did a test and i actualy got crackle 2 to 3 inches wide

@Mozemid1 Год назад

Have you tried doing a heavy layer of clear first, and then the crackle over that??? Love your channel :)

@beotheguitarist Год назад

Badass man. What is that Jackson V that's being sprayed with the crackle? I want to see the finished product.

@shredding51 Год назад

i have an old ltd mh-301 i was thinking of painting. Do i have to sand the whole guitar down before painting? Can i not just prime over the current paint and paint?

@SUPPORTYOURSELF Год назад

Looks GREAT! 🌩 I wonder if a heat gun would help create larger crackle, or at least control the crackle a bit?

@Cranjis.McBasketball Год назад

Does anybody have any tips for the clear coating process?

@themiff155 Год назад

Doing my first attempt at crackle tomorrow, wish me luck

@ProfessorPerhaps Год назад

Aye homie got a question, I just did my first crackle paint job last night & it turned out pretty good for a first attempt, but there’s a few spots that didn’t crackle or are super small, so can I tape off the good sections & then just sand & respray the bad sections? Or do I have to just sand & respray the whole face again?

@callbilly7555 Год назад

Bro how do you get the logo back on the and guitar headstock after spraying over?

@wayneshipman7406 Год назад

What's up with the tool you have for turning that's awesome

@superfit60 Год назад

Can I apply the crackle on top of an already existing black guitar after you rough the existing black paint?

@ronswary Год назад

Sweet !!!! Have you used crackle over UV paint ? I’m thinking of doing an ML style with UV and crackle 🤘🏼

@wayneshipman7406 Год назад

Covering every detail good job I am a painter by trade and I play guitar,do you do this for a living cause I see a lot of guitars in the background???

@aarongraceyoutube Год назад

I’ve never done a crackle finish but I wonder what it would come out like if you dipped your finish in CRACKLE PAINT?

@T0tenkampf 4 месяца назад

How many coats on a typical guitar is one of those rustoleum 2x cans good for?

@laylahingram838 3 месяца назад

What are the base types of the spray ?? Acrylics ??

@DylanoTheWizard Год назад

Does crackle work on high gloss clear coat?

@deandee8082 Год назад

man charvel used to does some seriously large crackle, of course they changed it up each guitar so there wasn't a bunch of the same size crackle, guitar makers tend to try and make multi colored guitars each different so peeps have a choice and they are unique for ID

@thedarkwolf1392 4 месяца назад

What's the difference between large and small crackle?

@donivan6784 6 месяцев назад

How do you get rid of the texture of the crackle paint.

@Zombie_13x33 Год назад

I've done it twice now. The second time looked way better but yeah it's all about time and amount of paint.

@hfrhkiuffbkiyfc 6 месяцев назад

Dude, why buy a cheap guitar to practice on? I'd just get some cheap lumber. But anyway great tutorial. Not only guitars but I'd like to do this on coffee tables and other things as well.

@brendanoshea976 Год назад

Easy way to crackle a guitar paint the base coat white then go over it with your black crackle paint once dried and cured take tinted varnish and go over the guitar the black stays black and the white cracks become any color you choose

@totallynotjohn8083 Год назад

Hello😊

@johnpiratee3304 Год назад

Im gonna try it in my car.

@MilitantOldLady Год назад

So wetter-bigger, dryer-smaller?

@Ari_Calamari Год назад

Well, the go hard with the crackle paint! Like way harder than with any other paint. You usually only get one good coat, so don’t spray lightly at all.

@DonutBalls528 Год назад

same principle applies to ur mom

@rickfreeman3999 9 месяцев назад

Yes it will, but sand it down with 600 auto motive grit first

@Strathaczar Год назад

Not to derail the topic at hand, but it's been quite a while since I've seen anything "Trash to Thrash" related. Is the series on hiatus and coming back?

@GuitarGuts Год назад

Did you happen to see my community post Tuesday? Trash to thrash will be back. Each episode takes me about 30+ hours to edit, so that means 3 days of not working on guitars, and right now, I’m focusing on customer builds. It’s too expensive to hire an editor, so I’ve been putting some videos of builds on my Patreon (they are less edited). If I could get more Patreon members, I could hire some extra help but for now, I don’t make enough to do that. It will be back before the end of the year.

@Strathaczar Год назад

@@GuitarGuts I was just curious about it. I didn't see the post, so I'm out of the loop. Do your thing, brother. Was just wondering what was up is all.

@RevGerryRM Год назад

Not a fan of crackle. If you like it, more power to you👏

@Wannaridebikes Год назад

I not into that crackled look. Just not to me the best looking. But heck to each is own

@Iconoclasm_ Год назад

Don’t give me ideas man😂

@tomisthehebitch 10 месяцев назад

Can crackle paint be used over clear coat? My idea is similar with the white crackle paint, except blood red underneath. The difference being as a very subtle detail to be able to see the wood grain in the red. So red leather dye (with some black) - clear coat - white crackle??
