Marblizer effect kit for bike - STARDUST BIKE

The result is a beautiful depth effect that reveals textures, pearlescent and iridescent patterns underneath a coloured Candy clearcoat. The Marblizer Candy look is a particularly impressive special paint effect.

Achieving the marbled or “Marblizer” effect on a bike is quite simple.

The Marblizer product does not create the patterns on its own: it requires manual intervention, which is done with a very thin plastic film, such as Cellophane.

You can download the different Candy colours in the PDF at the bottom of the page.

The choice of the Candy colour must be made after the order, by email.

CANDY® colours to choose from for the marbled effect:

The marbled effect itself is monochrome (silver on a black background).

You must therefore choose the colour of the Candy (available on the vertical axis on the left).

The colour of the Marblizer is silver and is therefore comparable to that of the BC1 undercoat.

We must therefore only take into account the first vertical coloured line on the left.

Summary of the application :

• The black background is made up of a black primer, which is used to erase slight surface flaws, but also to create a hard, uniform and dark base, necessary to bring out the pearlescence of the Marblizer.

• Marblizer is a whitish, liquid, semi-transparent product that will turn silver when applied over the black background.

• The colouring is flexible, thanks to the clearcoat which contains a Candy ink of your choice (around twenty colours available). The clearcoat is a high-performance UHS glossy and resistant bodywork product.

The kit does not include a specific primer for bare materials that are difficult to adhere to (carbon, aluminium). See our bike primers section

Offer details and instructions:

* If you don’t want to re-varnish immediately, then you must sand with grey abrasive sponge after drying, before working and before varnishing, without time constraint.

** A two-component spray can includes an internal hardener that is triggered with a button. It is a superior product in terms of resistance but for single use.

*** Detailed advice on how to apply the Marblizer product :

When your black background is ready (dry and sanded), you can start applying the Marblizer:

It is advisable to do a preliminary test on any black background.

The application must be done gradually, part by part.

It is not possible to create the marble effect on a bike frame in one go. Joints and coverings are not a problem.

Prepare in advance some pieces of cellophane, ready to use and within reach.

The operation must be quick: the Marblizer must not have time to dry before being shaped.

Choose an area of 20–50 cm and apply a medium to thick layer of Marblizer.

Lay the film down, letting it fall and coat the surface. Once it has adhered well to the wet paint, it can be removed, pulled, moved or swirled… then removed.

A monochrome marbled effect will appear.

You can still reapply the wet cellophane film to the marbled surface if necessary — to add more product, remove any excess, or cross the patterns. You can also use the wet film to touch up certain areas in case of gaps or excess, or if the pattern is unsatisfactory.

All of this should be done within 20–30 seconds.

Then move on to the next area, avoiding spraying product onto the already marbled area.

Varnishing : To guarantee adhesion and cohesion between coats, it is necessary to varnish quickly — after 10 min and before 30 min.
