i am really facinated by this technique. i was wondering is there something that you put in the paint to make it seperate, or is it a technique? links, sites and knowledge would be greatly appreciated

 

 

if you mean marbling, there is a special technique and a special paint. i've used it once before and after you spray it on (while it's still wet) you use a plastic bag or something you can crinkle that wont soak up paint and just blotch the paint with it.

 

and this technique looks like the paint is seperating? what kind of paint?

 

no it looks like a marble countertop. almost looks similar to mottling paint, it's the same color it just gets darker in certain areas since you are splotching it.

 

i do believe that was a horrible explanation. actually after research i have found:
that it is caused by a wet topcoat and usually a black base. when the top coat is still wet you use a bag/plastic film apply and lift... please any step by step sso i can see actually what happens and how... i will be trying in about 2-3 weeks

thanks

 

houseofcolor makes a paint that does it by its self all you do is pray on the bas coat and it seperates some how . its pretty pricy stuff

 

n actually it doesn't do it by itself, HOK just makes the "wet oat paint" that allows you to use the plastic wrap.

please i do not need info i know all about the stuff

i need step by steps or tutorials ... thanks

 

House of Kolors website you can download the tech info from their manual and it gives a step by step, all you have to do is lay down your marblelizer and color do your plastic and give it the effect you want let flash then tint your color a little spray it again but this time use a thicker plastic and make your design, once thats done lay on your kandy and clear and this will give you a lot of depth and dimension to your marbled look. Just play with it, it custom painting you can do what you want if it doesnt look right start over.

Also check out alsacorp.com they have this stuff called crazer and crystalFX it is crazy how this stuff works they give all the info and tutorials on their site. It is also all waterborne so its low voc which is really cool.
