step by step

1. Melt the butter and the chocolate couverture at a temperature of around 45ºC in the microwave oven

2. Put them in the measuring cup and mix

Surface temperature of the piece to be painted is key for the final result

3. Pre-cristalize the paint in a tray with the aid of a spatula at a temperature of around 30ºC

4. Filter the paint quickly inside the pistol

5. Connect the compressed air at around 2,5 bars

6. Check the surface temperature and make sure it is at 20-23ºC

7. Paint the surface evenly and following an order: paint by layers

8. Pistol must be kept in the right temperature (around 40ºC)

9. Let the paint crystallize for some minutes, so it can be easily manipulated

You will get a perfect crystalization at a room temperature of 19ºC and with air circulation

how to get a velvet finish?

Check the surface temperature of the piece to be paint bewtween 1ºC to 3ºC

With the same air pressure and a at a larger distance, paint the same way the piece

Let it crystallize during 24h until it can be perfectly manipulated
