I appreciate you showing your learnings rather than just showing us when you got it right. You saved me at least a couple of days of trial and error, thanks man!
I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my login password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Rey Bode thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
With the crackle paint coat, the key is to go over it once with a very thick coat. Once you move the can away, don’t go back. One single swipe, instead of multiple layers back and forth on the same area. Slow and steady, thick coat and don’t revisit the same spot. The minute it hits the layer it’s covering, it starts reacting. Unlike multiple strokes to cover the same area when applying each coat for non-crackle paint. It’s against what we’ve learned when painting typically, but it’s what works the best for crackle paint, top coat. 👍
I've never done much painting, but I wonder if you'd get better results if you masked off the back and sides and just focus on the front. Then do the back and sides in one go. That way you can go really heavy right up to the point it begins to crackle.
Amazing, I cannot wait to do the same thing on a larger scale (mirror effect from Burlesque Bar & then add the smoke) for my 40th. The crickets in the background aren't so bad, hope you knock out the next Warlock :)
If you use lacquer paint and enamel paint it'll counter react with each other if you stick them both on at the same time a few minutes apart and it'll pull apart just like crackle finish
IT is an experiment! I did a desk...it took be quite a while to find the perfect layer of crackle age. I finally got it. You know when you have it... Don't give up, you know it when you know it! I thought it was pretty cool! and now it is very cool? Awesome ...this was fun!
It is really an experiment! I trying to match a chair to my desk, and because it was years ago, ... what did it do? I'm getting closer! Remember it is a creative venture. What the heck is it with these 'down thumbs'... ignore them. Looks like you were in a beautiful place .
Use the Crackle spray paint over the black while is still wet,after you can kinda "adjust" the crackle effect with an hair dryer,it will cracle more and speed up the process ;)
Don't know yet, the first round of clear is currently drying, I'll have to level it and add subsequent coats with shit tons of sanding in between. So it really depends on how much I hate it when all is said and done, haha.
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 I had the same issue as your one attempt like having 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?
The final crackle turned out awesome! Currently building a Warlock kit and saw this technique elsewhere and thought it would be perfect. So is the trick simply to apply a super heavy coat of crackle? Were you concerned about runs with that heavy crackle coat, or is that paint run-resistant? If you were to do another crackle paint job, what would your procedure be?
I see I'm not the only one looking to buy one of these as a refin project. This came out really awesome. One question though; can the wraparound bridges on these models be replaced? Another wraparound would be fine, but all the replacements I see don't have adjustable saddles.
Did you ever do the second "crackle video" that you mentioned? I am thinking of doing a "lava" effect on an Epiphone DOT. ("lava" & iceland, you get it :-D ) It will have some large(r) areas to cover... so, before I screw it up, I am gathering info. Thanks for that.
Thank you for commenting! I have done a few videos about this guitar. I am working on the last one now, I'm hoping on finishing the buffing on it this weekend. My buddy and I are actually working on the second warlock right now and that one will also be crackle. Here is one of the other videos: th-cam.com/video/KneudOvyYGE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks it is 2k clearcoat, Spraymax 2k glamour gloss. The best you can get in a can, the catalyst is in an internal bladder in the can you have to pierce before you can use it.
@@kingquhzk5143 I use Spraymax 2k clear glamour, you can get it at Amazon. Awhile back I made a guide to painting your guitar at home with rattlecans, here's the playlist if you would like to check it out! th-cam.com/play/PLyABKv9YaMFh_Zj2KS-JtkEt27vE6cQBP.html

That's what it's all about. Good luck on your project!
3 things are certain: death, taxes, and Warlocks are guaranteed to have chipped corners.
Haha, every time! Luckily this one wasn't bad.

So no cross spraying is needed?
I applaud your efforts....just seems like this was Einstein's definition of insanity
You have the perfect paint booth ,the backyard ! Cheers
Front yard! Hahaha, Thanks.

Good to know, thanks!
Do you use the laquer under the enamel to do this, or does it not matter?
@@TheRockinDonkey put the enamel down first, then the lacquer over the top of the enamel
@@heres2ya Thank you, sir!
I like it Pretty cool and love the black burst 🤘🤘
IT is an experiment! I did a desk...it took be quite a while to find the perfect layer of crackle age. I finally got it. You know when you have it... Don't give up, you know it when you know it! I thought it was pretty cool! and now it is very cool? Awesome ...this was fun!
Mudcrackle Spectacular
Looks cool
This looks badass. Definitely doing this
cool! the burst made the crackle pop!nice job
Thanks!
that timelapse was sick
I hope to do another one with better results on the next one.
It' s hard to see it's true color in the end ,but it definetly looks awesome ,gotta try that ,thank you ,great video !!

HEAT GUN!
That's awesome!!! I'm going to do my Rhoads.
Turned out awesome. I like your masking technique for doing a burst. I might try that sometime.
Thanks man, it's stolen from some graffiti artists I used to run with.
@@ForsytheVideo I kinda got that or maybe airbrush guys that do the true fire thing anyway it's cool
How about "Crackhead" or "Key Tone" - Awesome vids, looking forward to the next Warlock.
Crack head, hahahaha
Use the Crackle spray paint over the black while is still wet,after you can kinda "adjust" the crackle effect with an hair dryer,it will cracle more and speed up the process ;)
btw you can also achieve this effect just using any matte paint(Like pastel or fluor) under a really glossy one while still wet
@@guido69x Thanks!
Dude, that looks fucking awesome!
Thanks!
Nice job Bro..gonna try this on the Guitar ML im working on..New Sub 🤘🤘
Thanks man! Let me know how it goes!
You need to pick up a cheap garage sale warlock and repaint it and put a pair of jim root EMG Daemonum pickups in it.
The Thing ! Aka Ben Grimm of the Fantastic Four. That’s what I’m gonna name mine.
Idk if it’s what you did but your suppose to crackle it about 33 minutes after the I initial coat. It helps of the undercoat is nice and thick
The stuff I used said 45 so that's what I did.
Thicker layer gets longer and wider cracks. Thinner layer gets smaller and finer cracks.
That’s so cool man I love it
Thank you bro.
This video got me feeling nostalgic. How much you selling that prototype fer? Like all the Marster eggs.
Don't know yet, the first round of clear is currently drying, I'll have to level it and add subsequent coats with shit tons of sanding in between. So it really depends on how much I hate it when all is said and done, haha.
maybe the florida heat made it dry to fast . the final one looks pretty good though 👍🏼
You didn't give yourself enough credit on the final product, it actually doesn't look bad.
Well 'not bad' is what I strive for, thanks man.
Yeah!
Cool. I found it on Amazon. Gonna give it a try. :)
I failed badly. Oh well. :(
I do like the tessalation cracks

I think it looks good

Absolutely, they are pretty cookie cutter and match the spacing of most other wrap around with the same string spacing(for 25.5 scale guitars).
A blow dryer or heat gun will make it crackle more and quicker
I would name it Prehistoric Nightmare
I think you got more paint on the porch rail and the bike than you did on the guitar!
That rail can do with a new paint job anyway.
I might try this on my warlock
Do it!
That crackle stuff does smell horrible and I did it outside on a windy day. My paint stripper wasn't as strong
Very true!
Did you ever do the second "crackle video" that you mentioned? I am thinking of doing a "lava" effect on an Epiphone DOT. ("lava" & iceland, you get it :-D ) It will have some large(r) areas to cover... so, before I screw it up, I am gathering info. Thanks for that.

Hey what did you use for clear coat? Montana recommends their "Varnish", but I'm not sure that stuff is good for guitars.
Spraymax 2k clear gloss. Best rattlecan clear you can get in my opinion.
Call it the Krakenstein 😁
Oooh, I like that
The Shatterblaster :D
Nice!
it's sooo sick
awesome fuckin video brother thank you for the inspiration !
Thank you for watching!
The Dark Joker!
Check out Brad Angove. He did a crackle finish 2 videos. Do’s and don’ts
Hi.nice job.what clearcoat you use to cover it?is it friendly with automotive 2K acrylic clearcoat?
Thanks it is 2k clearcoat, Spraymax 2k glamour gloss. The best you can get in a can, the catalyst is in an internal bladder in the can you have to pierce before you can use it.
I would have advised hide glue and after 12 hours to paint that
Is this stuff nitrocellulose?
Lacquer yes, nitro no.
@@ForsytheVideo Cheers mate, what clear coat did you put on btw? (I'm still trying to figure out how all of this works!)
