Can anyone remember how to get the cobweb effect? I think you use thick paint & high pressure, but how thick, how high!!
I'm using touch up gun with a/e.
THANKS

Put the Paint straight from the can into the gun -- I can do it at 40 pounds of air at the gun = but all guns are different so you'll have to experiment a little -- Bones!~

You will probably have to use laquer. There was a post on this a while back and no one had done it with urethanes yet.

I did a lot of webbing back in the early 70's using lacquer right out of the can. Easy to do and different. I messed around with it again last year using urethane base. I let some set out and thicken up (no catalyst) and it shot real close to lacquer. It's one of those trial and error things I should have documented how many seconds the base was before and after setting out and thickening up. I don't know if the paint guys can add anything to urethane to thicken it up right out of the can or not. I webbing for backgrounds under pearls with neat effects long ago before marblizing was invented. Like they say, "what's old is new again!"

Next everyone will want to pull out the acetelyne torch and start doing "smoke" under their candies and stuff -- I new a guy that use to get the same effect using rubber inertube from tires and light them on fire!! LOL!! --- Ahhh The good old days!!! -- Bones!~

I think there still is some lace in the shop somewhere! Hmmm, I didn't know anyone knew about the inner tubes... or burnt styrene smoke...or. I'd better shut up cause I think the guy who discovered these "old time secrets" is still around
That smoke sure did look good on those old Datsun tailgates under Candy Apple lacquer
Anyone been to the hobby store lately? They got some real neat metal flake (glitter) now a days!

I still have an old practice tank that looks like it was dipped in glitter(the big chunky stuff you used to use in school) and lots of clear.
My wife wants me to do her bike like that with some candies over it.

anybody got a pic of this cobwebbing technique sounds interesting. and can someone explain to me what's the deal with the torch and the inner tube? I'm just curious.
