Thread: candy paint question

Tweet

being a painter i can easily touch it up myself but like mechanics who can build their own engine better than me we arent always in the same boat haha but chips are easier to make look invisible than metallics and pearls by just filling them in with some un thinned candy in a touch up brush. the darkness of the colour with candies also depends on the amount of coats you put on. if youre going over 4 coats of candy catalyse it with catalised base coat mode when thinning it otherwise itl stay soft for ages and will chip easy, theres alot of solvents there in the film build of a candy job to get trapped under the clear. my car in the pic to the left is 8 coats of ppg radiance wineberry over pure gold base with the tiniest hint of prismatique in the 3rd and 6th coats. wineberry is pinkier than sunset or candy apple red when put over silver but looks better over gold IMO
