When my son was little, I got him a battery powered motorcycle, that really looked real. A friend of mine was a custom painter. He painted the tank on it black, then used some stencils to airbrush red skulls on it, then shot gold metal flake over it. Then he taped off a flame pattern and sprayed branydywine over the rest. It was awesome. It was bandywine metal flake with gold metal flake flames with ghost skulls that showed up at certain angles. That was the coolest thing a boy could have gotten for his 4th birthday. He also got a motorcycle jacket with a Harley patch on it.
Pay my truck mine C1 yeah, I like this truck better super new new new truck, different color Jerry color thank you buddy 13:08 I need to blocked first and C1 cherry color red
Well, after 5 months.. It's due for another paintjob! I don't have many basecoats to mix, but i have some pearls and a gallon of clear. That should do the trick
Hey I have a question. Everytime I spray over a rattle can paint with regular automotive paint it cracks and the rattle can paint below it. What am I doing wrong because I see yours didn't do that ?? Any info would be greatly appreciated lol
Thats the classic combination. Usually it's sprayed over gold because that gives it the warm glow. I think it would be a bit flat over a solid color like grey primer. Good experiment, thanks agin GT these ongoing combinations are a great resource.
I did a guitar that was very interesting. Rattle can gold base, Rustoleum gold glitter, then I started with that Duplicolor Paint Shop Clear Coat that you get from Auto Zone. I then got some Voodoo Violet candy concentrate off eBay, and mixed it into some of the clear, and shot it over the gold glitter. It turned out amazing! The most difficult part of the whole thing was finding a combination of paints that didn’t react with each other, but it was a novice way to achieve a seriously cool old school, low rider/chopper/hot rod style look without anything more intensive than a $15 Harbor Freight spray gun.
YES !! I love painting guitar’s even though I often play the boring looking ones. Same with building other peoples sound system’s. I don’t like attention but enjoy creating it for others mostly; kind of fitting that I was the bass player for many years 🤣 they guy the camera skips over the most.
I love this series. Your videos are what inspired me to paint my car initially and I was really impressed with how well it worked out. Now I think I wanna do it again lol keep up the great work!!
We had a red tri-coat we used on the challenger at the factory, the red base coat had the metallic in it, the second coat was like a candy, then clear. Thanks for all the experimenting you do.
My friend had a 69 Chevelle it was a rust bucket he made it into a nice looking bondo buggy. He did paint it candy apple Red with a lot of metal flake . As much of a bondo buggy it was I Loved that color on that car. His story was a bus pulled out in front of him, scrap after 6 years of work and lots of bondo and paint.
I like to go easy on the pearl. Gold is richer than aluminum. I did candy red over bright silver and then thought, why not over large metal flake? Then I thought why not white base with large silver flake but not too heavy, 70’s muscle car vibes. Painting fun! Even though I have done lots of painting I still enjoy watching you experiment. Thanks
I appreciate all your content. Time to keep pushin. Next project. Im tuned in. I had a feeling you had something special comin up. Can't wait to see this new paint job.
Red is a color that has very dense pigment concentration, which yields great color saturation. Thank you for sharing your skills and expertise. Larry Landis
5:49 I saw a body shop video where they were painting in that color on a Mazda and they used a gold base coat and a red (I think it was ruby red) candy coat.
Id like to see how it works with that chrome as a base, it’s supposed to be chrome but only thing chrome is the cap but once it dries it makes an awesome silver color, I really think it’d give you the depth that candy is supposed to show 👍🏼
White is great for keeping the candy a brighter hue. A real crazy look is candy over faux chrome. I’m thinking of doing a candy blue over patterns utilizing different reflective qualities for a boogie van project, also root beer brown and gold’s blah blah, decisions decisions 🥳😁 I’ve never done a boogie van style. Mostly single or two tone or goofy flames. Should be interesting. Was going to do flames on a Ford Pinto wagon from the back forwards but life got in the way of that one and I passed the car along. Seen someone else do a sedan and I was thrilled. 😂 fun times .
To me on video the red candy over the gold has a very very minor darker shade, but has a more deeper warmer tone to it. Over the silver it has more od a flatter washed out tone to it. Best way for me to describe it would be. If you painted the fender one uniform candy red, taped off the left side and left it out in the sun for several months and the right side faded slightly.
Very cool video. Honestly, I know painting is more involved, but you took the fear out of trying small projects and getting bitchin results. Thank you, sir!
I sprayed a green candy a very long time ago and it permanently stained the cup on my cheap harbor freight gun. I even cleaned it out right away with acetone.
Interesting experiment, ... if a much greater candy / sparkle effect is required, use a very large grain of silver basecoat ... the candy really "pops" then.
I would try the gold metal flake. In the clear. And use just a very little. So the car would look red. But in the sun have a gold shimmer. Or like a ghost gold effect.. the ghost red over black is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So doing the math, if your using 1 gram per 5oz, you'd use 6.4 grams per quart? So a 25 gram jar would mix with a sprayable gallon? Got 5 grams of Zen garden, 25 grams Monitor lizard, 5 grams sushi roll on the way. Taping off as I wait. Excited for something new! Curious about the black pigments I saw on there site, and how they do over colors and White.
It was near impossible in the video to tell if it came out different from side to side. That said, it wasn't hard to see where the transition was. I've always thought that if I were to paint my car after priming it with light gray primer, it would look different than if I used the brown primer. This confirms for me the difference would be there, even if it's subtle. Thanks!
Another Awesome video!! I have learned a lot from watching your videos. It's amazing to me how you change one thing and you get a completely different results, especially when you add pearl. So if I ever paint a vehicle I had better write down each step so I get the same results every time.
i liked this video that red looks amazing. if i could make a suggestion try recording on pro mode and turn down the exposure to see if maybe it catches the colors closer to what you see. nice video though!!! big props!!
the mazda 46v candy red uses a pink-orange metallic base and red candy, my personal favorite is using an orange-bronze metallic base with pink candy on top… same candy red look, just better.
You are doing a great job with the colors and pearls. I’m thinking of a bronze copper can you help me. That’s the original color of the car it’s a 71 Chevelle. PS. Help Please. Thxs. Keep up the amazing work,and can’t wait for your car next.😊
GT lets see some marbleized paint. Your subscribers will love that! The silver over black base is my favorite. Did my buddies caddy complete with it. SICK! There's all different variations you can experiment with.😉✌
I see you're into tattoos. Fun fact: The highest quality tattoo inks used to come from King Cobra blood. In India, it's cooked down and filtered (distilled) for permanent inks.
Looks a little bright for brandy wine. Maybe it’s the camera. The part you did with the black base is closer to what I’m used to seeing first Brandy Wine.
This may seem strange to you but I can see the differance in the base coats! I can tell the differance! The Gold side is much deeper and rich looking than the Silver! The Gold is the better under coat!

Good to have friends like that,isn’t it?

The red paint Mazda uses is by far my favorite red paint color ever.
Agree 100%
Same here
Soul Red Crystal
That red looks so deep you could almost swim in it 😂
I’m not a huge fan of red but have a soft spot for candy and WoW Mazda nailed that one.
Well, after 5 months.. It's due for another paintjob!

Love that candy paint, only ever seen once in person, a friend spent lots of money back in the 70s for his Camero to be candy apple red 👍👍
I had a ‘76 Harley painted candy brandy wine. It was a beautiful color that got a lot of looks.
My friend had a 69 Chevelle it was a rust bucket he made it into a nice looking bondo buggy.
He did paint it candy apple Red with a lot of metal flake .
As much of a bondo buggy it was I Loved that color on that car.
His story was a bus pulled out in front of him,
scrap after 6 years of work and lots of bondo and paint.
Thank you so much for doing all these test with spray paint I’m learning a lot.
That section of black with the candy.... its almost like Buicks chocolate... very pretty
My brother-in-law has a 2023 Miata MX5 in Soul Red Crystal Metallic. AMAZING color!
Love to see ghost flames .
When spraying your clear coat was your fan pattern wide open also what was your pressure set at
I like to go easy on the pearl. Gold is richer than aluminum. I did candy red over bright silver and then thought, why not over large metal flake? Then I thought why not white base with large silver flake but not too heavy, 70’s muscle car vibes. Painting fun!

Candy paint glows in the sun so nice
Soul red crystal 😏 that’s where I got the idea to try the gold under- except they use a rose gold. Looks absolutely mental in hard sunlight
I appreciate all your content. Time to keep pushin. Next project. Im tuned in. I had a feeling you had something special comin up. Can't wait to see this new paint job.
Ruri looked awesome. I did a fender with it and sushi roll. Sushi roll is a lot of green. Ruri starts blue and changes to purples
Thanks - was wondering how the eye candy pigment worked with automotive clear- nice job!
Absolutely love the way that brandywine turned out!!!
Can you do the black cherry pearl over a tan base do a sample on the fender
The sushi roll is nice! Going to look awesome on the car as a complete paint job.
How long after you put on the Rustoleum paint do you do the clear coat, and do you only do 1 coat or Rustoleum?
That blood red paint was cool. I wish I could have you do that on my 81 Eldorado.
I am thinking of blue pearl over black rapture liner on my jeep. What results you think I'll get
The Brandywine looked outstanding on its own
Red is a color that has very dense pigment concentration, which yields great color saturation.
Thank you for sharing your skills and expertise.

What about candy with a filer with the pearl together to see what it looks like.
love seeing the different experiments . Do you know of a good clear coat for the duplicolor paint shop ? Thanks
5:49 I saw a body shop video where they were painting in that color on a Mazda and they used a gold base coat and a red (I think it was ruby red) candy coat.
Is that just a practice fender..??
Glad to see some candy. It would be cool if you did some flake, like OG Roth metal flake
Id like to see how it works with that chrome as a base, it’s supposed to be chrome but only thing chrome is the cap but once it dries it makes an awesome silver color, I really think it’d give you the depth that candy is supposed to show 👍🏼
What would happen if you use more reducer and less coats?
Years ago my dad painted a candy maroon over white on a Chevy van. This reminds me of that.
White is great for keeping the candy a brighter hue. A real crazy look is candy over faux chrome.
I’m thinking of doing a candy blue over patterns utilizing different reflective qualities for a boogie van project, also root beer brown and gold’s blah blah, decisions decisions 🥳😁 I’ve never done a boogie van style. Mostly single or two tone or goofy flames. Should be interesting.
Was going to do flames on a Ford Pinto wagon from the back forwards but life got in the way of that one and I passed the car along.
Seen someone else do a sedan and I was thrilled. 😂 fun times .
Can you try something close to Jade green pearl over white base. Thanks
I'd really like to see the ghost gold put over a black and white split panel like you did here.
What can you do with Dupli color deep due , paint shop. Per mixed
I wonder what a brandy wine candy over a black base with the senchi red in a clear would look like
The ghost red over black was cool.
To me on video the red candy over the gold has a very very minor darker shade, but has a more deeper warmer tone to it. Over the silver it has more od a flatter washed out tone to it. Best way for me to describe it would be. If you painted the fender one uniform candy red, taped off the left side and left it out in the sun for several months and the right side faded slightly.
You got it, this is why the classic combo is gold with red candy.
You should paint and hang a bunch of car parts in your shop. You can see all your work and get new ideas.
Someone needs to donate unwanted fenders 😁, they are not worth anything as scrap.
Do you get a reaction from the rust oleum with reducer
I like the black with the candy best. From my iPad I couldn’t notice a difference between the silver or the gold.
Enjoy your trying different combinations 👍
Very cool video. Honestly, I know painting is more involved, but you took the fear out of trying small projects and getting bitchin results. Thank you, sir!
How has the victory red that you did on the silverado held up?
Yes, I remember the first time I saw that Mazda color on an suv! I looked it up when I got home!
I have just started watching you videos. What size is the spoon you use to add your pearl to the clear test fenders?
The gold primer makes the red a rivcher color to my eyes and the silver makes it a bit duller to me. Ghost Red over black looks really good.
I painted a 1994 Honda vf750 magna with a rich silver metallic coat a red oxidized candy on top it was beautiful
can you do a dark blue pearl on black?
I sprayed a green candy a very long time ago and it permanently stained the cup on my cheap harbor freight gun. I even cleaned it out right away with acetone.
Same! My cup stayed stained with the red candy, even tho I cleaned it with acetone and carb cleaner
Interesting experiment, ... if a much greater candy / sparkle effect is required, use a very large grain of silver basecoat ... the candy really "pops" then.
Love the videos bro learning slot on painting and spray painting
Man, you are one talented dude, thanks for tthis!
What if you add crushed glass to the mix? Actual glass.
I would try the gold metal flake. In the clear. And use just a very little. So the car would look red. But in the sun have a gold shimmer. Or like a ghost gold effect.. the ghost red over black is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So doing the math, if your using 1 gram per 5oz, you'd use 6.4 grams per quart? So a 25 gram jar would mix with a sprayable gallon?
Got 5 grams of Zen garden, 25 grams Monitor lizard, 5 grams sushi roll on the way. Taping off as I wait. Excited for something new! Curious about the black pigments I saw on there site, and how they do over colors and White.
I’m not a fan of red autos but that looks great
Great video like always. Could you do a video of emerald green with some kind eye candy sprayed on it?
Nicely done, keep up the good work
I practice these colors on my model cars I like silver under green and purple also 👌
Dosent the gold rub off on youre fingers?
the red pearl over black looks like a root beer brown on camera
I agree. The Ghost Red over the black is a root beer brown color. I would like see a bigger sample of the Ghost Red over black.
It was near impossible in the video to tell if it came out different from side to side. That said, it wasn't hard to see where the transition was. I've always thought that if I were to paint my car after priming it with light gray primer, it would look different than if I used the brown primer.

This is cool experimentation 😮
Been thinking bout doing my s10 2 tone using white with a pearl and like orange with some orange Pearl kinda like the lambo orange
That would look sweet
the mazda 46v candy red uses a pink-orange metallic base and red candy, my personal favorite is using an orange-bronze metallic base with pink candy on top… same candy red look, just better.
That reminds me of a great tangerine metallic color that would be a interesting fade perhaps.
You guys make me want to paint again 🤩
I got it. Gold Pearl over the Gold Metalic. Would it look like gold metal?
You are doing a great job with the colors and pearls. I’m thinking of a bronze copper can you help me. That’s the original color of the car it’s a 71 Chevelle. PS. Help Please. Thxs. Keep up the amazing work,and can’t wait for your car next.😊
The ghost red really popped on the black. I can’t stand the color black but that ghost look great on it
That candy was beautiful
GT lets see some marbleized paint. Your subscribers will love that! The silver over black base is my favorite. Did my buddies caddy complete with it. SICK! There's all different variations you can experiment with.😉✌

DANG!!!! You know how to lay down some paint out a rattle can!! You just earned yourself a new subscriber 😂
Big facts. I immediately subbed after the cans
I would like to see the jungin silver over white! Cheers!
White is the best base coat for a true candy paint
Have you tried black?
@kellyarnett4062 Yes, I think it makes the candy too dark for me and takes away from the candy effect of the paint
The candy red over a copper or brown would be so rad.
You’re not gonna get a different effect with a basecoat, you should use candy concentrate then the difference is night and day
I agree. A true candy is mostly toner and very little pigment, and you will see a difference between the two colors of base. Love this channel, btw!
I'd be adding some black candy to darken it up.
Something tells me you might have seen a different with direct sunlight. The silver side looked slightly lighter and cleaner
Btw great colour combination 👍
This may seem strange to you but I can see the differance in the base coats!
I can tell the differance! The Gold side is much deeper and rich looking than the Silver!
The Gold is the better under coat!
Candy with the flake and pearl together.
Hello. I think your test fenders will be 4 inches thick when you are all done experimenting 😃 All joking aside, Stay safe, great video
mint green or sea foam green base
12:23 i like that one best 🙂
Thanks for sharing bro! It was interesting.
Looking good thanks for sharing
Nice work! I like how you explain but also get right to it! New Sub...
