Marblizer effect kit for bike - STARDUST BIKE

The result is a beautiful depth effect that reveals textures, pearlescent and iridescent patterns underneath a colored "Candy" varnish. 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.

> The choice of the CANDY color, must be done AFTER THE ORDER BY EMAIL.

CANDY® colors to choose from for the Marbled effect:
The marbled effect is monochrome (silver on a black background).
You must therefore choose the color of the Candy (available on the vertical axis on the left)
The color 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 colored 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 background, necessary to bring out the pearlescence of the Marblizer.

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

• The coloring is flexible, thanks to the varnish which contains a candy ink of your choice (about twenty colors available). The varnish is a high performance UHS glossy and resistant body product.

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

Offer details and instructions:

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

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

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

When you have your black background ready, i.e. dry and sanded, you can start applying the Marblizer:

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

It is necessary to carry out the application in several times, part by part.

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

We will have prepared beforehand some pieces of cellophane ready to use, at hand.

The operation must be quick, and the Marblizer must not have time to dry before it can be shaped.

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

The film is laid down, letting it fall and coat the surface. Once it has adhered well to the wet paint, it can be removed, or pulled, moved, swirled... Then we remove it.

We obtained a monochrome marbled effect.

There is still time to reapply the wet cellophane film of product on the marbled surface, if necessary, to either add more product, or remove it if there is a excess, or better, to cross the patterns. You can also use the wet cellophane film to touch up certain areas, in case of lack or excess, or if the pattern is not good.

All this should be done within 20 to 30 seconds.

You can then move on to the next area, avoiding spraying the product on the marbled area.

The varnishing : In order to guarantee the adhesion and the cohesion between the coats, it is necessary to varnish quickly, i.e. after 10 minutes, and before 30 minutes.

The candy clearcoat is applied in 2 coats. It is possible to apply more coats, to darken the color.
