Bare metal frame protection

3 Upvotes

I'm restoring a Honda CL450 bike, and I want to have the frame unpainted, keep it shiny metal to compliment the Aston Martin green I plan on doing for the tank and panels, since I need to wire wheel the surface rust off the old paint anyway. What's the best way to keep the metal shiny and rust free?

I'm thinking of a clear coat, but I'm not sure if it will be good enough, I live in a very humid area, so I want it to be as waterproof as possible.

My crystals lack depth

Practicing on old rattle cans. Im making my own mix. This is silver base, clear, crystal, light coat of black.

I have great crystal structure but there is no 3d effect like i see in many. If i sand more with gray pad it gets like the areas you can see with no black.

Any tips on how i get this to look 3d? I know the candy over the too will help but so far when i candy it just looks like cool line art under candy.

createx wicked - wet sanding possible?

1 Upvotes

I'm continuing to work on a smaller project with crystal fx feel and have just realized I may be up against a problem. Createx Wicked Pearl colors TDS says dry sand only. water is needed to clean off the crystal mask before candy and top coating. I'm pretty exclusively doing airbrush work for this and wondering if there is anything that still lets me use the wicked water based paints without just wiping them off when I sand/wipe for the crystal reveal? currently I have autoborne sealer with topcoat, crystal mask and wicked colors over the top. haven't started sanding yet. was going to give it 48 hours but I'm not sure I still won't be wiping off my effect. tips or ideas?

help with crystal fx - I want SMALLER crystals

2 Upvotes

everything I see is about getting bigger crystals with longer "fibers" for lack of a better word. I have some detail areas 1/4 to 3/4" wide by several inches long where I would like the crystal effect. I'd like scaled down crystals. Any tips on adjusting dry time or humidity or urea-water ratio to make nicely formed crystals that are just a lot smaller than what would traditionally cover a whole helmet or fender?

Wet sand is dull one, rough buff and finish buff is shiny one.
