Let's say you have a vintage car, or perhaps a motorcycle you've been fixing up, and you've just about got the project done, but you feel it just needs a little something extra before it's completely finished. A marbleizing paint job on your automobile or bike is a great way to make the vehicle look flashy and special.
Instructions
1. Prime and seal the vehicle that you want to paint.
2. Spray the base coat on the metal. Black works best, but other colors can work too. Just check any colors other than black on some scrap metal before you begin working on your vehicle. Let the base coat dry completely.
3. Stir the marbleizer well, and then strain it into your spray paint gun.
4. Cut the plastic wrap into sheets so it's ready to go. It will help to have a few friends for this part. You have just minutes before the marbleizer dries, so you must work quickly.
5. Apply the marbleizer, spraying it onto the vehicle in a 50 percent pattern overlap, with an air pressure of about 45 psi. Hold the spray paint gun about 6 inches from the metal. Let it dry for 1 to 2 minutes. Then wrap the plastic wrap, using your hand to push the plastic into the paint. Peel off the wrap immediately.
6. Let the marbleizer dry to a dull finish.
7. Apply the clear coat and top coats to make your work shine.
