What are your drying times in-between each step? Will this work with water based airbrush paint? My thought is when you wet the crystals with water to be scrubbed off, all the black paint would come off as well.
allow the part to cure 30 min at 20 c use a hair dryer on low to be sure its fully dry and use warm to hot water and use your hand to remove the mask effect
Yes you can mask a section and then crystallize, just make sure it’s a vinyl or fine line tape on the edge as otherwise it may deep through ? As you are applying the crystals heavily with a cloth 👍🏻
I have a gun stock I would like to do this process on and my question is can I use rattle can paint? so I don't have all that expensive paint laying around that I won't use and go to waste.
How the hell do you apply the crystal and not get the formula to separate like it was a waxed surface? I use wax and grease remover and tried alcohol. But when i apply the formula it immediately separates everywhere. Those areas will not crystal.
You could add a mini flake into an intercoat clear and try that or better yet do the flake first and then experiment with doing the crystal over that then candy 😉🤘🏻
I tried this out and got serious beading, let me with a white beady mess. It's there a paint and/or canvas material that doesn't work with this technique?
That sux...it generally works really well on all hard surfaces if you want more technical info then I would reach out to DNA paints direct via - dna-paints.com
Can I create the same/similar effects with acrylic paints? (Because I have to paint indoors.) What are all my options for making cool effects but with water based materials?
You can definitely play around with it by adjusting the level of crystalz applied, the direction of how you apply it, it all just comes down to experimentation.

Great question, I assume it would however you will need to prime it and then base it up 👍🏻👍🏻 check with dna paints before you buy they are very helpful 🤩
I've tried to make this stuff on my own with urea fertilizer and water with dishsoap. It comes out with some stick patterns, but it doesn't come out like this. Maybe you just gotta get the real thing. Your's looks almost 3d
@@AirbrushAsylum Hi I hope you are very well your videos are very helpful * I have some doubts and I would like your help: 1) what type of silver in spray can you recommend that it be of very good quality and can achieve the same effect? 2) When you apply your candy red over the silver, do you put some kind of sanding sealer clear on top of that, to protect your marble effect, before applying your 2K Polyurethane final clear coat? 3) Does the silver paint have a clear coat on it before applying the crystallizer? or is it just the painting. I look forward to your prompt response you are the best thank you very much
You can spray products like this using spray bottles or those spray paint systems that employ a jar and your own paint with an aerosol can of propellant (cant remember the name, sorry). Brushes and rollers can be employed as well. All will give different results, and the technique, direction of movement, and application method all effect size and direction of crystal growth. It's important to experiment on multiple surfaces before applying to the final surface because even the topography of the surface your painting effects the crystals. For instance I was doing a job and the crystals emphasized the edge of a surface on one side but not the other and it ultimately looked disjointed. I opted to repaint. Sanding direction changes crystal direction growth immensely and can be used to manipulate how they grow. You can get interesting effects by wetting some areas before others, or by varying the volume applied in different areas. I often use an old hairspray bottle to apply these crystal products because it provides an even and very thin mist while still being easy to use and disposable and capable of wetting a relatively large area rapidly Note.... my experiences were with a similar product but a different brand. Best advice is to experiment. Get a bottle and waste it just playing around.
Should be ok 🤔 you would need to use the appropriate plastic primer to make sure that you don’t have any adhesion problems, reach out to dna-paints.com their tech department should be able to 100% confirm for you 👍🏻
It should do, the mutant crystal solution smells like isopropyl alcohol so it’s not very aggressive, I will also ask the manufacturer DNA paints to comment here to answer some technical questions 👍🏻
Thank you Airbrush Asylum for the wicked tutorial as always! I know this is sponsored, and the idea is to push a product. BUT, I want to just share that this can be reproduced at an albeit shittier quality. Water Urea ammonia common liquid dish soap! Crystal Effect solution is as old as I can remember!
Works on solvent based, works on all DNA products. havent tested on waterbased, please check the data sheet. dna-paints.com/wp-content/uploads/Mutant-CrystalZ-TDS-V1.5.pdf
Airbrush Asylum : perfect il be using this on a project im working on now keep these vids coming mate bin painting from 2k gun, spray can all way to airbrush for about 8 years and still u came with information iv never seen before lol guess i need to start getting back to researching not just using one shop lol thanks again man and keep up these videos
That awesome that effect ! you said you spray base coat silver and straight on top you put urea mixture, didn't spray on clear coat ? How much you wait once before spray black coat ?
We havent tested on a canvas. Canvases are flexible so not sure if it's going to work. You could give it a go, it may have issues with adhesion. refer to TDS: dna-paints.com/wp-content/uploads/Mutant-CrystalZ-TDS-V1.5.pdf www.dna-paints.com/mutant-crystalz/
@@AirbrushAsylum If I use an acrylic paint or water based red paint over the crystal will it cover the crystal effect not showing the effect meaning it will be just a red canvas
Want more Special FX ? 🤔 th-cam.com/play/PLkd3s0ymmV0OVNiwieSDpr8wY52M7Gb0S.html
Airbrush Asylum I custom paint shoes. Do yo think the Mutant Crystal would give the same effect on acrylic paint?
YES!
Where did you buy the crystallizer product?
Wat is the name of that chemical applie before the colour red...
I want crystal spray
That looks awesome! Great custom look with simple technique and great product.
Yes, it most certainly is ...glad you liked it 👍🏻
To make crystal formule use: 100ml water 100ml Uréia (you find in agriculture shop) 5ml soap.
Do you know if this would work on waterbased acrylic paint?
Yes, that is true. very easy to make mutant crystal liquid with low cost 😊
@@RonGotSole Water-based paint will dilute when you apply the formula, I don't know if it works, but if you test it, let me know the result.
Any soap? Like dish soap?
What is the purpose of the soap?
It is best for smaller areas.
I haven’t tried it on anything large🤔 , but I think with any effect it works best as a small feature or as a background for artwork etc 👍🏻
With Ad blue looks good too
I concur, just boil it in half and add some drops of ox bile/dish soap ;-)😜

Is warm water necessary??
so can you mask off a large area say for a skull and do this crystal method to have it in the back ground?
Yes you can mask a section and then crystallize, just make sure it’s a vinyl or fine line tape on the edge as otherwise it may deep through ? As you are applying the crystals heavily with a cloth 👍🏻
How long are you allowing each coat of paint to dry before moving on to the next step?
I tried...its not happening...do we have to fully dry the silver coat?? Overnight??
Oh my goodness! I can here my car out there hoppin' up and down " DO ME, DO ME!!"
How long do you let the black dry for
I have a gun stock I would like to do this process on and my question is can I use rattle can paint? so I don't have all that expensive paint laying around that I won't use and go to waste.
I never knew something like this even exists
I was blown away from the silver part 😁
So amazing Sir 🤍

does it work with any solvent base coat
Yep it sure does 👍🏻👍🏻😉
Can you flake it or would the flake cover the crystal affect 🤔
You could add a mini flake into an intercoat clear and try that or better yet do the flake first and then experiment with doing the crystal over that then candy 😉🤘🏻
Hi, I'm having issues with my results, the crystals I get are much smaller than yours, what an I doing wrong?
So "after silver dries"...How long after was the drying?
30 min
Could you use Diesel Exhaust fluid to create the crystals? How would it look had you not painted the panel silver?
the black coat after crystal, should I wait until black coat fully dry or like nearly dry?
incredible! I never knew this stuff existed ! Thanks for the video...cheerio!

Can I create the same/similar effects with acrylic paints? (Because I have to paint indoors.) What are all my options for making cool effects but with water based materials?
Can you help us please: What are the ideal enviroinmental temperature and Humidity ? My Crystals dont seem to form big.
Very cool - didn't know stuff like this existed
One question:- when the crystal form .and before applying candy or clear coat is the surface rough in feel or smooth?
Does this work on walls?
Would it be to much if it was flake then mutant crystals then black then candy?
That can work apply each coat lightly
What temperature was the room while the crystals were growing? And how long did it take to grow?
It happens fairly fast , I think from memory it was raining the day I filmed this so prob around 20oC or just under 👍🏻
I tried locating that liquid crystal no luck even put in the info on the bottle
Is there any way to control the consistency of the effect or size of the crystallization?
You can definitely play around with it by adjusting the level of crystalz applied, the direction of how you apply it, it all just comes down to experimentation.
Can I do this over a regular wall? It would be perfect!
My car is silver can I just clear coat over the crystals. I just like the effect and don't want to do any color changes.
This is supper cool and amazing but how can I get the materials and what are they?
Can I paint that from the inside off a 110scale rc car lexen clear body shell
Is it possible to ship to Algeria?

Merhaba bunu mobilya için de yapabiliyor muyuz
That is so very cool. I love it. Great tutorials and thank you.
How does this stuff take to masking?
Can this effect be used on a water-based acrylic paint?
Seen a couple of crystal vids,still amazed how good it looks. Can't wait if you do decided to put art work over it 👍👍
Thanks it’s awesome stuff and I think I’m going to have to airbrush over it 👍🏻🤔
Does this work on waterborne
Hi.. good work . İwant to ask somethink.. Can i use this paint on wood?
Great question, I assume it would however you will need to prime it and then base it up 👍🏻👍🏻 check with dna paints before you buy they are very helpful 🤩
Where could I buy some urea??
What kind of basecoat paint is the silver and black? Not water based?
Can we try this same into the canvas?
Does this stuff have a shelf life? Used this 6 years ago, and just found half a bottle left over….might give it another go. 👍
Thank you ! Learnt a lot.
Looks fantastic
What is the black paint you used, is it a water based or urethane paint?
What type of paint are you using?
Awesomeness 👌 👏 👍

One additional note... if you attempt to spray, make sure you use a larger opening, not an airbrush, I wouldn't use anything smaller than 1.6
It's designed to be applied with a rag. dna-paints.com/wp-content/uploads/Mutant-CrystalZ-TDS-V1.5.pdf

Urea
ammonia
common liquid dish soap!

Whic web site on selling?
how long did this take from start to finish including crystal formation time?
its all temp related, it can take hours, apply sparingly from a spray bottle less is better allow the effect to cure lightly coat it and let it dry
Brother from where i can buy this mutant crystal
You can get it from dna-paints.com 👍🏻
@@AirbrushAsylum i am from india they dont delivery to india

What if you sprayed red/black chameleon over the mutant crystal?
Candy is best, you will bury the effect with flip paint
Did you apply the solution whilst the silver was still wet? Or waited for it to dry
only in Australia?
Super easy love the look of this dont no how iv never seen it before! Was wondering after clear coat can this be sanded back to a smooth finish?
Thank you and yes it’s super cool, I would recommend using a ‘build clear’ so it can be sanded smooth and then you can paint over it 👍🏻

Do you think there would be a way to reduce the size of the crystals? I'd like to try this on some of my scale models 1/25 scale.
I've read that force-drying the solution ( hair-dryer or heat gun ) produces finer/smaller crystals.
