House of Kolor Marblizer: Name that Tool prize

October 26, 2005

I finally got some painting done last weekend. I did a forward control bracket for the trike, the front fender for my sportster and the aol CD case that is the prize for the Name that Tool winner. Today I’ll just cover the CD case.

First, I had to find a way to hold the pieces for painting. I used drywall screws to join some block of wood, then I used a staplegun to attach some duct tape sticky side out. They stuck really well, to remove them I had to cut the tape, then peel it off.


No primer, just a couple coats of black as a base coat.

Then I sprayed on the marblizer (lilac/lilac). The trick is to get the right amount. Too little, and the saran wrap won’t have any effect, too much and it will run after you pull off the saran wrap.

After 30-60 sec, I lay the saran wrap on and run my hand over it.

Then just peel it off. If there’s excess marbizer, ball up some saran wrap and dab it. If there’s too little (or it dried too fast) either spray on some more or dip a ball of saran wrap in marblizer and dab (I did my sportster gas tank by dabbing with balled up plastic shopping bag).
Here it is after 4 coats of clear.

For the urethane top coat, you have to use either SG-100 intercoat clear or adhereto over the marbizer first. I’ll talk about that when I post the other stuff.
