Custom Paint Textures

To create the ripped paint texture you’ll need

Using a nail brush & some compound you give yourself a paint mask to create a one of a kind unique effect that is inexpensive and easy! Simply apply & spray base or candy over it.

There’s something about a paint job that is as smooth as glass, but has the 3D textures that jump out at you. This is how Chris Potter does it for a custom paint pebble texture.

Step 1

Grab primer/sealer under reduce it so that it is a bit thicker
Dial the air pressure back so that it’s just spitting the under-reduced primer out
Spray your texture

Step 2

After you get the desired texture, shoot your white basecoat (or basecoat color of your choice) over top to coverage

Step 3

Spray 2-3 coats of pearl over top

Step 4

Spray clear over top to lock it all down
Be sure to spray a couple coats extra in order to bury the high spots

Step 5

Wet sand with varying grits
Buff out to a glassy finish
