WOW!!!!! BEAUTIFULLY DONE!! Best tutorial video on crystal fx ive EVER seen. Well done

Brilliant, and I loved your diagram! Now I need to find a place to use this.

I’ve found my new favourite KZread channel! Hilarious, informative, and artistic. Thanks Martin

Stunning - love the recent upgrade in production quality too - more in keeping with your immense talent.

This effect gives me so many possible ideas about what I can do when I begin to repaint my '94 Super V 2000. Over then past years I've grown bored with the plain jane black and silver of the factory style paint I did on the bare frame. Can't wait for the next video to see what ideas it sparks .!!

Ich kann das angekündigte DIY Video, wo Du diesen Effekt auf einen Rahmen bringst, kaum erwarten. Wie immer geniales Video.

Wonderful to see you back Martin, it has been a long summer without your videos 🎉❤

Amazing affect created from such a simple process, professor Martin indeed 💜😁

Fantastic explanation of the science behind the effect, and an excellent, simple demonstration of how this amazing effect is achieved. Subscribed! 😊

Hi Martin; I like very much your videos , they teach me a lot of things about customization. about cristal fx, I saw hundreds of videos and meany people use also soap in the mix, and use hot water too. have they something to see in the final fx result? thanks

I appreciate you taking the time to explain this. As an artist I’m always on the lookout for new techniques. I’ve already seen it but could it be possible to just use DEF fluid instead?

I just made a paint studio so I can re touch my 2003 540i BMW, I am serousily conserding doing this method for my car, it looks increiable! I might do more of a light blue under coat tho, just to match the original paint it came with.

Im loving your videos! The urea on amazon is no longer available. There are several brands, all with different measurement numbers. Does it matter which urea we use? Do the numbers affect your recipe?

This is sick, really want to take the panels off my car and do this, would be much better then wraps and hydrodips.

It is possible to make crystal effect paint in colors for camouflage?? For a stock o an bow? Thanks.

Thanks ❤❤❤❤

Thank for video. So if I’m understanding, I will paint a base color, then clear it with 2 coats of 2k clear, sand it with 800 then put crystal liquid on it, then paint light black then sand with grey scotch pad? Then I’m assuming paint candy over then clear it ?

wahou, excatly what i want to do.. but on glasses. Is it work on tempered glasse ? like table.

Wonder if you could use DEF fluid as it's pretty much the same and when drys creates crystals

These videos are amazing. Thank you. If I'm going for a white on white effect, how would I go about doing that? White base with an off white overtop, then clear coat? I'm trying to match a set of custom white wheels I'm ordering. Thanks!

If i use soap I should still do a 2% mixture?

My first thought was, desilled water and urea is it AD-blue you are talking about?

I wonder if it's possible to control the crystalline development? Using some of the urea crushed into powder and placed strategically for nucleation points might do it. And we're talking like individual granules.

Nice

7:7 I like it!

You can do that with saran wrap! A base with another color! Place the saran wrap over the top coat. Slowly peel back the saran wrap! Same thing!

Epic!

Interesting I've seen diesel exhaust fluid spilled several times and it certainly dries in a crystalline structure... I almost wonder if you could just use def 😛

Is it a special kind of orea… Can you use the kind you use when it’s showing 😊

У меня тоже кристаллы получаются короткие. При уменьшении концетрации мочевины крилсталы становятся длиннее. Так же большое влияние на форму кристаллов оказывает окружающия среда. Необходима влажность и температура. И возможно ультофиолет (еще не пробовал). С кристалломи мучаюсь давно . Уже заканчивается второй килограмм мочевины, а пробники для опытов у меня по 25 граммов. Еще важно как вы наносите раствор на деталь. Мартин не хочет выдавать все секреты, его право, поэтому приходиться мучаться. Всем удачи.

Hallo Martin, sehr schick der Helm, aber kannst du mir bitte sagen, ob das nicht auch mit fertigen Adblue machbar wäre? Die Konzentration liegt da bei ca.30% , eventuell zu wenig um schöne Kristalle zu bilden, gibt's dann nur einen weißen pudrigen Überzug? So long.

Yes you can use adblue as well but it costs more per gallon.

How are you etoe? How long does a mixture last for?

@@ETOE I mixed it like you did in your video, the liquid got very cold, is that normal? Or should you warm it up a bit so that it dissolves better? Second question: how do I get a larger crystal structure? Mine are very fine. Thanks for you time:)

I really hope i get this down one day! This method doesn't work for me, but if i add some dish soap it does. Maybe it's a bad wettner agent batch. Im 4 tries in, it hasn't been easy. I'm not getting deep crystals. Temperature really, really, really matters and it gets lost in the juxtaposition topics of the school portion. Sanding the helmet before adding the solution really, really, really matters.

Hello, I love you videos, please can you help me with a question I have regarding the crystal effect. I would like to use this technique on a clear lexan polycarbonate Remote control car shell . However when painting these shells the paint is applied in the inside of the shell and once painting is completed a protective outer film is removed from the shell revealing the paint , this effectively is the clear coat so I wouldn’t have to do this part of your process. Please can you give me any advice on how you would attempt the crystal effect on this please. Thank you, Gary

Thank you for the explanation. I'm a little confused about the use of the wetting agent. According to the product links in your description, the agent is used for water based paints. However, I thought the Rust-Oleum paints you recommend in your description were epoxy/enamel based paints. Are they not? Or, is the repelling nature of the of the two part of what creates the effect?

@ETOE

You don't mix the wetting agent in the rustoleum color. You mix it in the distilled water which should be water-based.

Or try jet dry. The liquid made to put in dishwashers. It is the same type of product (surfactant).

Fun fact: urea, which is an organic compound and not a mineral, was the first natural organic compound to be synthesized from minerals only, debunking the vitalistic idea that there were fundamental differences between organic and non-organic matter
