So far, I’ve only tried the brite tone from my tumbler kit. The liquid micas have just been sitting there taunting me since everything arrived last week! LOL. I think today I’ll experiment with them and try to find a perfect pewter to use on the body of my son’s new bass. Having basically unlimited color choices and a blank “canvas” is very exciting!
hi, id like to paint a guitar with this metallic pain/colors. the gun i have is hvlp from eastwood, concourse model with 1.0 needle. i was told the 1.0 will work for britetone but everything ive read about spraying metallics says ineed a 1.5 size tip. theres a gun on eastwood with 1.3 sized tip, its on sale now and i wanted to ask if i can spray these with the 1.0 i have... or if i should get a designated gun for the metallics and if the 1.3 will work or do i need a bigger size tip. they do sell 1.5, 1.7 and other tip kits to fit that gun. what do you recommend?
Here is a link that takes you to our info page. Best advise is stick to the basics. Thin coats. 2 wet mill or 2 sheets of paper thick per coat. 2 hours or more between coats in above 68 degrees ambient temp. Practice on a scrap piece till you get a feel for Brite Tone before you jump onto your main project. You may do fine with your set up as is. Everyone has a different skill level and equipment. Hope this helps. www.crystalac.info/brite-tone-instrument-finish1.html

Try a small amount. Should not be a problem. It just depends on which of the dozen or so epoxy manufacturers in the world made it and what they used to make the epoxy.

The rose metallic with blue! Omg!! 😍😍
Thank you! I just bought liquid mica but was clueless. I didn't buy the gold but I just might have to!!
Can this gold mica liquid be used to dip/marble dye white canvas sneakers?
Can the liquid mica be used straight with a stencil over fabric, or should it be mixed with Bright Tone first?
It should work just fine.
Do these need a base under them or can they be used directly on the prepped stainless?
Hi. The Brite Tone acts as a premium binder that could be used as a basecoat.
