I do like that effect. Also good for camouflaging any defects in the prep!

Went out yesterday as decided to get stuck in and finish the tank...after having a real good look at the tank from many angles I decided I did not like the pattern I had with the Marble, so I removed it......I have redone it but this time ive gone for the Snake skin effect....
Once I was happy with the Marble I then coated it with intercoat clear to seal the marble and help bring out the Black Pearl Basecoat...I will check the Clear in a couple of hours and if its gone off ok, I will then knock it off (Sand it back to mirror smooth finish) with 1500 and Start on the Kandy Coats...Voodoo...

thats right,you have,nt explained how you did the snake skin effect....Fantastic work and a good write up on the process.Can u tell me if its possible to spray a stainless steel tank? Do you need a special primer and paint for it? Keep up the good work,its a great write up.

Here's the next stage...I now apply a light coat of the Kandy to the tank and leave to dry overnight.....Next stage I flat the paint out with 1200 grit paper until it is perfectly smooth....Now I spray the first full coat of kandy with about a 25% overlap,this I leave to flash off 20 mins then apply a second coat of Kandy...It is now left overnight again to fully go off.....

Now comes the tricky part.....As you will notice the Marble has been buried under the Kandy and does not show up...what i have to do now is wet Sand the tank with 1500 grit paper...this stage is very tricky as you want the Marble to come through but not break through the Kandy...once this is done to my satisfaction I then spray on the first Clear coat...
I tend to spray 3 or 4 coats of clear then leave tank overnight yet again to fully go off....It still looks like the Marble is buried but as I add more coats of Clear it will start to come through stronger....Voodoo...

Next stage is pretty much same as the last....Wet sand the Clear with 1200 grit paper this time, pic 1....Apply 5 coats of clear 20 Min's apart and leave to dry, pic 2........Final stage of Clear, I apply another 5 coats and leave over night, next day Wet sand with 1500 grit paper. Then I apply the final coat of clear which is a different mix ratio to normal clear as it is a flow coat and I want maximum shine........Leave this 48 hours to harden properly.....Final stage to come in 48 hours.
As you can see from the pic's it still needs depth as the Marble still does not stand out enough,this comes with next few coats and artificial light never seems to pick up the Marble properly...
I also use Panel wipes & Tack cloths before any stage of painting to remove any dust etc that settles on the tanks when drying.....Voodoo....

Looking good buddy! Love the shine you get! What clear do you use, and do you then heat set?
