Spraying Candy Paint can be tricky even to an experienced painter but will give you a finish that can be achieved with no other paint, there are a few different ways of going about the process and I will take you through 2 methods that I find work well, I am not a professional at candy paint application but always have a bit of fun trying out these cool custom paints, so check out this video and follow the procedure I have found works best, if you feel there is something I could have done to improve then feel free to let me and others know by adding a comment below.

I'm an apprentice in Germany, and I binge-watch your videos on the weekends mostly. You explain more than even my superiors do, which is sad. But with your help I can do my part in learning on my own. Thank you for your videos, man.

KOLORS AUTOBODY, AB CANADA 36 years painting.... THIS INFO IS FOR SPRAYING THE HARD TO SPRAY CANDIES .... Clear Dye Candies are really hard to spray.... Candies with Pearls in them look way nicer and are easier to spray... VERY IMPORTANT, make sure your ground coat covers, any thin spots, scratches etc will be magnified by the candy... 2nd IMPORTANT spray like a robot and count your coats, do not over build the edges, if it takes 8-12 coats of candy to cover the Hood then spray the exact 8-12 coats on the trunk lid... try very hard not to double coat your edges, they will look like 16-24 coats and your paint job will look blotchy.... 3rd IMPORTANT spray nice light even coats that's why it takes so many coats on a candy otherwise it will look blotchy..... 4th Important adjust Gun the same each time spray same air pressure each time.... some candy colors are way easier than other candy colors and smaller projects are easier than larger projects (ie motorbike tank to complete car or truck) hope this helps

lm a nurse and had no idea about spray painting cars. 3 month ago i said ah fuck it my car had no value so i thought oh what the hell ill paint it myself. took me 2 weekends to prepare it for painting. My car was sold for $8,000 lol. that was all because of your videos man. keep it up.

@titmusspaultpaul5 8 лет назад

+unenslaved2012 idiot.... go to a country that doesn't vaccinate and visit the sick children..... its horrible. .... and you are promoting doing this to children.... you are an idiot or a very bad person.

+HyralProductions not true at all.... these viruses were round LONG BEFORE we had the technology or knowledge of how to make them.... idiot

@titmusspaultpaul5 8 лет назад

+HyralProductions its not an opinion.... its FACT.... and i only call people "idiot" when they dont have any idea about BASIC SCIENCE, yet make really stupid claims. what do you think killed many native Americans all those years ago... chicken pox. we vaccinate against them now..... dont make such stupid uninformed comments next time.... do a bit of research

@clickclive7472 8 лет назад

+HyralProductions you know what a good business would be if most people think like you regarding vaccinations? teeny tiny baby coffins. antobodies from yummy milk from mommies only covers the child for up to 6 months. cant cough up 40 dollars for a vaccine? prove them wrong. prices will go down very fast.

@ironman4308 8 лет назад

I've sprayed a lot of candy paint over the years. High pressure guns do a bit better. I always over reduced the first 2 or 3 coats and cut the fluid way back just to lightly tint the base with each coat. I use a 75% overlap on those first coats. Then open the fluid back up and put a few more 50% overlap coats on and get it wetter. Your method worked well on those pieces but for an entire car it would be difficult to get it streak and mottle free. There's also a method where you add the candy color to your metallic base coat to tint it and go straight to 50% overlap coats with the candy. This works very well and takes the stress out of those first few coats. Thanks for your videos, well done. I've been in the market for a few new guns and I'm an Iwata gun and airbrush fan. Been thinking about trying your favorite, the DeVilbiss Tekna. I've been watching your reviews on several different brands and models. Keep the vids coming!

@pablox4000 8 лет назад

+Kevin Brooks Hey thanks I will try your advice!

@eddingtonj9909 8 лет назад

what is overlap? is it each pass?

@pablox4000 7 лет назад

in case you're still wondering, is how much area you go over again on the way back with the gun, is that clear, kinda hard to explain showing is easy. there must be videos about proper overlap, lots of literature about it that's for sure.

@danbasta3677 6 лет назад

Tell ya what though, those gravity fed paint sprayers are really great though, can't beat em. For years prior, when you bought a air spray paint gun, the paint, after mixing, was put in the canister on the bottom, then you started spray painting. Not knockin it though, it to came out nice, however, the gravity ones are even much better to deal with.

@dlamb999 8 лет назад

love the candy, especially the blue :). here at my local shop they put the colour (lechler) into a clear mix base binder to use. say 900 binder and 100 coloured dye. So coarse metallic silver, then kandy, then lacqueur with 5% uv something to put in it. definitely worth the extra money for the end results for line you say a show type kind of car. Thanks for the video.

@tomc8617 2 года назад

I think it would better to paint the edges of the fender, or anything you are spraying, first. This way you won't over spray onto the main portion when you do it afterwards. Over spray can leave a "paint dust" layer on anything in the immediate area. And with candies being so thin and semi-transparent it can also result in blotchy areas on the main portion. Better that that "over spray dust" appears on the edges, if any does, rather than the main portion.

@mattmurphy6157 5 лет назад

may I ask why you did not change spray pattern between coats? Just curious as a new painter. I did my shop truck with a tri stage but only did 2 coats of green pearl and changed direction of spray from vertical first to then horizontal after. I did however still get a touch of modeling in the pearl coat.

@markhamze154 7 лет назад

I haven't painted a car in twenty years. Usually we sprayed candy in dark colour were the metalic can't be seen. We sprayed a red undercoat to save money. Then we got two litres of clear and added one litre of red paint and metallic(aluminium powder) if you wanted metalic. Then we painted over the red base and over that we put six to eight coats of clear. Then cut and polish the cheap clear!

@NateFanning 5 лет назад

+The Gunman I have heard that when spraying paint with flake or sparkle you have to always paint in the same direction, never back and fourth. Is this true? I have been practicing with and airbrush but I have not been able to see a difference. Maybe only when using a full size gun?

@Mikefngarage 7 лет назад

When I did candy in the old days we used automotive lacquer. But From what I understand today from they guys who I used to work with who still do candy, is they use straight toner diluted with base clear AKA binder. SO We did less lets say blue and more binder and more layering. We always made our own VS using house of color. For instance we would use Thalo blue and base clear say 10% blue and the rest binder then layer it several coats to the desired transparancy. Then urethane clear after.

I have 2 cans, the base and the second: topping. The color is pb-215c . So i am thinking to try to use roubbing compound to make it lighter. Or to repaint it. What do you think? Any suggestions ? What do you recommend me?

I have a midnight pearl nsx and it was repainted and the shop did a decent job but the pearl is nearly gone. Is there anyway to add another few layers of pearl in the clear coat to add the pearl effect? It's hard to explain without seeing it in person.

@fishhuntadventure Год назад

Candy has fascinated me since a teenager. Maybe someday I’ll have a car worthy of the trouble?! I have this idea in my head to do the candy out the several coats to make the color, then start mixing black candy and fade in the bottom third, mix a tad more black and fade the bottom quarter; more black and do the bottom 15%; the rockers would wind up blue-black. You’d almost have to plan it on paper and do the fades full length with hyper mental concentration to pull it off.

@msciv92 7 лет назад

gday, im up for spraying a candy colour on a r/t charger tomorrow. I've been thrown in the deep end with only 2 years painting experience along with a sagola gun. if its possible could someone tell me the exact measurements i should set my gun up to avoid lines. i already did a test on a boot lid and im incredibly unhappy with the lines . i have no choice but to paint this car .

@klumzywestside5795 5 лет назад

What DEVILBISS did you shoot with I’m using the TENKA 3 gun set and want to get guns just for Kustoms

@tomc8617 2 года назад

Given that candies are so thin and semi-transparent the hardest thing for me when spraying them is getting a consistent even layer of color throughout the entire job, especially ones with a large surface area. Because every coat of candy ever so slightly darkens the layer or layers beneath, so it's very difficult for it not to come out blotchy or streaky over a large area. In an effort to get the color more even throughout I always end up applying more color than I originally intended resulting in the project being much darker than I wanted. Takes some degree of skill and a good amount of experience to do it properly.

What will be the difference if i use a black base instead of your silver ? i heard they call it something of a "ghost pearl" i want the shine and depth of the candy but would also like a bit of a difference in shading. little light and dark effect. Im hoping it will look good on a vintage vw beetle

@user-gw9sb9fm7t 7 лет назад

The Gunman, greetings from Greece. Just a question. I painted my taxi with code 680 yellow colour of ppg and mixed 10% of blue pearl in clear coat. Nice result but... For some reason i 've a difference between rear left door and left rear wing. The door looks brighter and more glossy. Do you think that sanding the door and reducing the clear coat with the pearl, it will match better with the rear wing????? or the only solution is to repaint the wing?

@carlosv4444 7 лет назад

ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣ ΦΛΥΤΖΑΝΗΣ ..1st Gunman nice video lots of solid advice scattered throughout that where we'll said and I agree. Now to the yellow wing Like was said in the video there are a number of variables for the "variance" my first "guess" would be the horizontal orientation of the wing compared to the door being sprayed vertical...a quick check is to observe from above, say on a ladder or deck and compare the wing with the hood/roof/boot do they match yes? No then many other factors can be in play. In any case spray just a wing only. I say this as door probably matches wings/fenders/rear quarters so why risk messing up the rest of the car and wasting a lot of $$$ material only to, possibly, regret the result. I have had similar issues with Porsche style Whale Tails (80's styled wing) getting each surface consistent Simply put candies take Skills that only come with practice

Do you find the ppg vibrance looks better then house of kolor . I seen videos of the mazda 41v and 46v they look badass . Do they look the same as hok candy apple red or RR from Ford? Thanks and best wishes ✌💯

@markanthony3275 5 лет назад

Yeah...I've sprayed House of Colour candy...I believe they wanted the first coat thinned 200% instead of 150% like the rest of the coats, if I remember correctly. Loved the colour of Brandywine, always put on twice as many coats as recommended. I found after experimentation that you would actually see a blue tinge in low light, if you put on 10 or more coats.

Исходя из вашего большого опыта какой краскопульт лутше как универсальний (база,лак)?.Заранее благодарен за ответ.
