Candy Paint – Deep, Striking and Unique Color Effect
Experience the incredible depth and vibrancy of candy paints. Candy colors create a unique translucent effect where the shade changes with light and deepens with each layer. With this paint, you will definitely stand out – the result is always eye-catching and unique.
Candy paint is specifically designed for finishing cars, motorcycles and other custom projects. It provides a professional-level gloss and a deep color effect that cannot be achieved with standard paints.
Compatibility and Mixing
Candy colors are compatible with most solvent-based basecoat and topcoat systems. You can choose the painting system that best suits your needs. However, always perform a test spray before starting a larger project.
- Candy concentrate is mixed 8:1 with a binder or 1K clear coat
- After that, the mixture is thinned according to the manufacturer's instructions
- Recommendation: Mipa 000 Clear + BC thinner (thinning ratio 2:1)
- Mix the product thoroughly before use
Application and Result
Candy painting is based on layering, which directly affects the final color.
- Recommended number of coats: 4–6 coats
- The shade gets darker with each additional layer
- Paint parts individually to achieve an even result
Base Color
A metallic base color is essential in candy painting, as it directly affects the final shade and depth of the effect. A smooth and bright base, such as silver, reflects light efficiently and enhances the candy color’s vibrancy. Check out ready-made base colors or contact our customer service for assistance.
Important Notes
Candy painting significantly highlights the quality of the base work.
- Ensure the base color is even and fully covering
- Allow the base color to flash off properly before applying candy layers
- Any imperfections and defects will be clearly visible in the final result
