Mixing candy2o for Airbrush & Spray-Gun Painting 

Brother honest to god you are the only guy in all RU-vid that I can say that explain this with passion!!!! Good luck God bless & stay safe. 👍👍💯💯💯💯

These videos are so good Chris! Thanks for taking the time to show the differences 😎👍

Your knowledge to us is invaluable! I love the paint! Another excellent video!👊

Im just getting into this just watched ur video and it was very helpful to me for just learning I didn't no u had to even mix it with different things. But just got some uvls gloss, satin, and matte, some reducer and candy 2o colors and can't wait to try this out thank you for the tips and thanks to createx for making fantastic paint awesome products as well. I ordered some candy 2o got a bottle of tequila yellow and it looked like play dough in it not sure what happened but I emailed createx and told them and not only did they replace the bottle but sent me 4 other bottles of some other products of theirs so im very happy with my experience, so thank you createx

These videos dude... Absolutely priceless! Besides being extremely thorough on how to mix, what to expect, comparing products using different tools etc - I really appreciate the pace which the information, walkthroughs, advice is conveyed - giving us the chance to keep up and follow every step of the process.. Seriously, watching these videos, especially when it's new series or alternative ways to use "older" products - makes you feel like you've already have the experience yourself... Yeah, I know how it sounds - it's nonetheless the truth =D.. Thx man!! Honestly - I've already tried the 4050 in pretty much every aspects of the paint process and It's definitely my "go to" replacing the 6000 "transparent sealer" in 8/10 cases.. Both are extremely versatile when painting or processing 1:1 props made of fiberglass or 3D print - printed in different types of filament.. Thx again =)

Love the videos Chris I use an airbrush exclusively so I really enjoy the videos focused around using an airbrush. I’m a visual learner so these videos are very helpful. I would love to see the thickness or viscosity coming off the stir sticks for different applications. Again I’m a visual learner and I don’t have the ratio cups. Keep up the great work! Jim

Great demonstration! Im glad you did a review on the 4050 and the candy. This will help me greatly.

That 4050 looks amazing

It would be really awesome if you linked every item you use in each video .. it can be difficult to track each item down individually

I wish this guy would do an RC body demo using Createx Candy Paints, from start to finish lol.

I love these videos. I have some Createx paints in my stash. I'm a model builder and want to experiment with them for modeling but I'd also like to just airbrush if I ever get my depression sorted out. The audio is hard to follow I hope you address that. Its hard to hear what you're saying. I tried Createx paints decades ago and had horrific luck with them. This was LONG before the days of RU-vid and I didn't have Iwata airbrushes in those days. I had those horrific Aztec airbrushes that just didn't cut the mustard. NOW I have ALL Iwata plus one Grex brush in my stash. I'm gonna give these another go.

Loving the Auto-Air paints & your informative videos! What PSI are you running with the airbrush?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

THank you sir for the demo - The info I am getting in Australia is to use a 3:1 reduction of UVLS:Candy + 10% reducer for airbrush and spray gun. Is there a reason for that difference being proposed or advice you would offer around this? TH2 is 0.6mm? I'm using 0.5mm eclipse or 1mm mini spray gun. Greatly appreciate your videos too - very clear and well presented for a learning artist :)

I'm a little heavy handed as you said so I'm going to try the 4050.

Awesome videos and great products. Now my question... can these paints be mixed by weight and if so, are the ratios the same?

Great video man. Where do I purchase those smaller mixing cups?!

First and foremost, Thank you Chris for some of the best informative videos on the web. My question is regarding Kandy 2o and clear coats. "With my Iwata HP-CS I am trying to get that "deep,wet look" high gloss over Kandy 2o. I used 6013 silver sealer. Then 2 very light coats of 4004 transparent base. Then my kandy 2o. Now, all the local store had was 5604 gloss top coat. Should I order the 4050 ? Is it a higher gloss than 5604? Also, is my order of application sound correct? Sorry for long winded comments/questions. Thank you very much Jerry

So useful for me Thanks for this. My retailer recommande to put after 4102 aluminium base and before Candy 4040 Bleed chaker for my die cast pickup, it is OK ?

Just got my candies the other day and day one I spilled my entire bottle of red and balancing.. :( LOL This product is Very nice. Thanks for the content. What surface type was painted on in this Demo? the 4050 was like a swimming pool with the spray gun.

Great video!! Can I apply candy2o and clear coat it after? I don't have 4030 or 4050. I just have the paint. Thanks in advance

👍😎👍

I have quite a bit of Scenix SSR gloss Clear... is this the same thing as 4050? If this is essentially the same thing, I assume I would not use the crosslinker when using as a carrier for the candy? Thx.

Chris, How thick is the 4030 and 4050 out of the bottle? I am having trouble getting it to spray out of a 0.5 tip airbrush. Does the 4030 16oz bottle have a mixing ball? How would I know if it froze in shipping?

I've been using 4012 reducer for spraying through an airbrush, should I be using the 4011? The Candy2o paints have been very challenging on lexan rc car bodies the way I've been mixing it, getting an even coat has been next to impossible. I figured I either have an old/bad batch of candy or I'm not mixing it right.

Good to know there is an alternative to the 4030...

any info available on the small gun you were using, looks the goods. cheers

Is there any need to do an additional cost of clear if you're mixing the candy with the 4050

How durable is this paint? I'm interested in painting a racing motorcycle helmet and need something that with hold up to chipping from rocks and debris. I've never used water based paint. What can it be clear coated with? Can you use 2K urethane clearcoat?

chris, what color should you use to back the candy on polycarbonate lean RC bodies

ello .. What sealant do you recommend to make the paintings last longer in the lures?

I normally mix Candy2o with 4030, but have run out. Could you technically use automotive 1k or 2k clear as the carrier? That is, mix Candy2o concentrate into automotive clear and spray that mix? Thanks.

when I spray candy I get a lot of pooling. Like imagine you spray water on a glass surface how the water will collect into separate water drops. Do I need to add more 4050 to thicken it maybe? I counter this right now by spraying very light coats with the gun a little closer to the model, but ideally I'd like to spray a bigger surface area. Also when I sprayed 4053 over it to give it a glossy finish I did two light coats and then one final heavier coat and man it completely ruined it like it did the whole pooling thing again. But when I did the light coats of 4053 it wasn't looking glossy so it seems like I needed the heavier coat. Any ideas on how I can remedy this?

Plan on painting Candy2o on steel, what clear coat should I use for outdoors?

For painting fishing reels and fishing baits would you still need to use the 4030 or 4050?

hi im gonna paint a bike frame black paint wicked aluminum effect and then candy all with a spraygun 0.8/1,4 nozzle can i use 4030 instead of 4050 ?

Whats the shelf life/pot life of a 1:1 candy2o and 4050 mix reduced 5-10% with 4012?

Can you advise if theres a way to shoot these candies over Alclad chrome ?

Can the Candy products be used in leather and plastics? Wanting to try out on shoes

Can these be used as an automotive applications? I read on one website that they were not lightfast

once one, uses said paint, if there is paint left over, can that paint be saved for later use if so, what is the shelf life ?

Does the 4050 Leave Orange Peal since its thicker?

What size air compressor where you using for the air brush?

In your video you mix 1:1 with 4050, however on the Auto Air site they state "Airbrush: Any tip-size, 18 - 27 psi Add 4050 10% - 300% per vol., then thin with 4011 Reducer 5% - 10% + per vol. Spray Gun: 1.2 - 1.3mm, 18 - 22 psi Mix 4050 6:1 candy2o Thinning with 4011 Reducer is often not required." 6 4050 to 1 2o is veru different to 1:1 ! Which mix to use???

I build scale car models, Pro/Street, muscle cars, and so forth. I saw these paints at Hobby Lobby and bought a few bottles not knowing how to use them.I picked up CandyO2 4655 Marine Blue. I am absolutely clueless about acrylics. I have been using more the most part, testors enamels and spray can lacquers. I would love to open my paint options wide open by starting with this Candy O2. I bought #4012 ( 296541)additive but not sure what to do with it ? Lol . I also bought Createx Pearlized Tangerine #5312 Wicked Pearl lime green #0305 and Wicked Detail yellow #0052. The name "Detail Yellow"......is there any special meaning, or usage for this particular paint . Anyone's input would be appreciated. OH....one more question. If and when I use the candy O2. I assume you need a Metallic base coat of some kind ? Again,thanks.

Can createx be clear coated with 2k spray can clear????

I have been commenting for months.... Where can I get this range in the U.K? I would like to try it .. but the radio silence is starting to annoy me...

What are the candy bottle sizes in video?

What do I need to do in order to airbrush that on metal

can I use 4004 transparent base with the Candy 2.0

The 4030 bottle said 10 percent. What's happening, sir?

Very good Mais por favor habilitem a legenda português Brasil ok.😂😂

Where do u get this paint

There are just way too many combinations and ratios to confuse users in my opinion. Createx seems like a great product but it should be simplified.
