How to do marbleized refinishing on metal or plastic?
Q. Looking for instructions on how to perform a "automotive like" marbleized paint job for my new found hobby of painting computer cases and such. I am an experienced (16 years) automotive painter with a lot of custom painting skills but no knowledge of how to achieve the "marbleized" look. Can you help me? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

A. Hey I'm doing a marbleized paint job on my jeep right now. The way you do it is to get the marble paint from House of Kolor ⇨
Apply a base coat and when you put the top coat (marblizer) you stick saran wrap on it then peel it off. Another way if you don't have the special paint is to take auto paint or equivalent and thin it 50-50 then apply same steps. Oh if you do the latter, make sure you have some pearl or very fine flake to mix with it. Hope this helps!
