About Crystal FX | |
Crystal FX is a self-activated crystallizing mask that works over a basecoat or intercoat with no need to clear, sand, or wash. The ease of application and product uniqueness are due to the chemical makeup, which allows full crystallization in minutes. (10-15 min @ 80° F) |
 |
With Crystal Fx you also have the ability to determine the appearance or properties of your final pattern based on your application methods for example:
| Intricate Swirled Patterns Achieve this look of a really tight "swirled" crystal pattern by "scuffing" your clear coat. |
 |
| Web Patterns Achieve this look by very lightly "scuffing" your intercoat or clear coat. |
 |
| Straight Patterns Achieve this look by simply shooting over your basecoat. |
 |
You can create a plethora of small, closely woven crystals by force drying or you can create larger crystals by air drying. |  |

Application Guide
How To Apply Crystal FX:
Step 1 - Prep and paint the surface with your choice of Alsa's Stylin' Basecoats or compatible brands. (This base color will become the color that shows as the lines through the crystals.)
Step 2 - Apply the Crystal FX in a lighter coat for small crystals and a wet or heavy coat to achieve the large crystal effect across the surface.
Step 3 - Allow to dry 10-15 minutes air dry or force dry for smaller more tightly woven crystal effect.
Step 4 - Now apply your contrasting color (the color that will be shown through the spaces in the crystals). Apply this coat in a light dusting action.
Note: Take care to apply only a light coat as a wet coat of paint will make it harder to remove the crystals.
Step 5 - Allow this layer to fully dry. (10-15 minutes)
Step 6 - Using water and a rag or sponge, scrub off the crystals. This will leave you with a very pronounced crystal design.
Step 7 - Allow any excess water to dry.
Step 8 - Apply Alsa Speed Clear or any other preferred topcoat.
