Paint Effects

Crystal Mess Application Guide:

1. Paint your surface with single-stage or base/clear system of your choice.
2. Let the clear coat fully cure, then sand with 400–600 grit wet/dry sandpaper.
3. Wash thoroughly with soap and water and allow to air dry.
4. Apply Crystal Mess by spraying or pouring onto the surface.
5. Allow to air dry for larger crystals, or force dry for smaller, tighter patterns.
6. Apply a light dust coat of your contrasting color over the crystals. (We recommend over-reducing your paint for better results.) Allow to dry completely.
7. Scrub away the crystals using water and a grey scuff pad (Scotch-Brite). Let any remaining moisture dry thoroughly.
8. Finish with any high-quality clear coat or topcoat of your choice.
9. *Dry times based on 77ºF ambient temperature.
