I’m really glad I bought candy red and blue they made my lures pop I will buy more in the near future.when I buy the clear can I still use two part epoxy?
Ok sou do Brasil e me interessei pela chapa onde vc aplica o Candy. Vc a compra com esse efeito tipo redemoinho ou vc o faz? Espero que alguém traduza para vc. Vlw.
So if I sprayed a black base coat and painted my mural on the vehicle in white Would I be able to see the artwork through the black candy. I don’t want over the top.
Can I use the Transparent Base instead of inter coat?also I only have 4011 reducer.will that do instead of 4012?and will these paints go over any type of base coat?thanks amazing videos very informative
I sass the black panel and it appears very purple/ reddish? Why is that when it’s 4 coats over a silver? I’m doing a project and have some on order. I plan on shooting a heavy silver flake and stenciling with the candy black but don’t want to see the reddish color, I’m Going with layers of blues.
Why are you using a clear base balancer 4030 as an intermediate sealer to prevent candy bleed through when Createx already makes a bleed checker 4040 that is designed for specifically that which is a bleed through blocker? 4030 is made of solvents that are more volatile than the solvent on the 4040 that are less harsh on paint surfaces.. it may look good now but in the long run the actual 4040 bleed checker or (bleed through preventative) will be a better option. If there is secret to what you know, can you please elaborate why you chose the 4030 over the 4040?
Hi Auto Body Everything. All my videos are official Createx videos. If you look at the date you will see we made this video before we brought out the Bleed checker. FYI Your incorrect about solvents in the 4030 effecting the longevity of the paint integrity as I have done this for many years in all manner of applications including automotive and even aviation. Our 4050 is the ideal option to prevent candy dye-back but as you can see the 4030 is still an option (particularly good at preventing whites bleeding). I hope this helps you.
Ordered a color chart from Coast air brush. I noticed the aluminum base look awesome head on. But when you look at them from the side they look grainy. I can see the black specks of aluminum? Is that normal or did they botch the test panel? The medium isn't that bad but the coarse is more noticeable. Some of the other colors look blotchy and grainy also.
I've used the old candy pigments and it seems the new 2.0 red doesn't turn pink like the pigment version does. Would you still recommend met. gold under Blood Red? Be interested to see alu vs gold base with these.
when using the clear on it own do you thin it down if so how much never used it before good vid tho got some candy to try to if you had the old candy on the project would you use the clear over top before using the 2.0 thanks
Simon, Is your mini gun an Iwatta LPH 80? If so my question comes in as the recommended inlet pressure is 13 psi which gives 10 psi out of the nozzle. If you are using a different mini gun how would you set up an LPH -80 for success with candy 2 O's using the 102 G which is a 1.0 needle. Love the videos. Thanks, Don
I was also interested in the panels from TNT but I cant seem to access their website but I would love to get a hold of a few, what would you recommend I do?
Can anyone tell me why I keep getting worms whenever I use candy2o? I give it plenty of time to sit after mixing with 4030 and 4012 ? It happens with all colours? Thanks.
Are these better in that the original candies, everyone said their color wouldn't hold up on a motorcycle. You were suggested to use HOK candies instead.
+CreatexColorsCo +sm designs airbrush Hi guys, I'm loving these new candies. They are so rich over the aluminium bases. I'd like to lay some over exposed carbon weave on a Stilo motorsport helmet to colourise it, but wonder what the best approach would be for basecoating. Intercoat Clear or straight over with the candy/intercoat mix?
+Martyn Brearley - either will work, however, to avoid any color build-up along scuff marks, we recommend first applying 4030 Intercoat (reduce it 10% 4012 HP Reducer).
I have a small area to paint, 10" X 10". I tried to use my airbrush to apply the candy, and it does not look the greatest, actually it doesn't look like a candy at all. And it feels like sand paper when its done. If I can use an airbrush to paint the candies, what am I doing wrong?
Hi a question for you I'm doing a buts of iron man in white resin I assume I'd need to put down a metallic base before the candy to get the full effect
over crystal would it come out with this affect I know it depends on the way the crystal dries but I was just wondering have you tried this to see the effect?
:-) Ok, next question- I'm a complete newb, btw- can you cure (some/most/all) clear at room temperature? Sellers and forums seem to assume that you've been doing this for years and know all the jargon; most youtubers just show a gimp in a mask spraying on a perfect coat with lots of commentary about how great they/the product/the spray gun is. I love the way you show what can go wrong! The great finish is beautiful to see, but I'd much rather learn the pitfalls before ruining a workpiece. It might help if I let you know what I've got in mind! I've been airbrushing for a long time- scale models, t-shirts, canvas, even invisible repairs to china ornaments! I'd like to try doing a helmet (or three) and some small details on my bike- tattoo the frame, maybe work up to refreshing the bodywork and tank with a suitable candy. But I don't have access to a heated booth or an oven. Is that a show stopper?
All 2 pack clear coats are self curing. The heat just speeds up the process. If you only have room temp I would use an extra fast activator (hardener) I never had a booth during most of my career.
Thanks Simon. I've got an old Arai in the shed (couldn't bear to be parted with it when I replaced it- have you seen the price of those things? ;-) ). It'll make a decent test piece. I'll let you know how I get on...
I imagine it would...it's just a mid-coat acrylic medium...if you take off microscopic amounts, it wouldn't really affect it that badly, you could always paint extra layers of midcoat clear to anticipate the masking...
I should mention that if you watched the video, though, be cautious of the upbleed. It will bleed upwards into the medium...he demonstrates this in the video...
@@SMDesignsAirbrush Thanks. I mostly airbrush models but I'm venturing into other stuff. Trying to figure out all this stuff out. I appreciate your help.
sm designs airbrush Thanks for the quick reply Simon. I'm new to the world of automotive candies and wasn't sure if Createx / Auto-Air made candies that are compatible with 2k Urethanes. What candies do you recommend?
sm designs airbrush Sorry, I meant mixed. I should've worded my reply a bit better. I'm getting into spray / hydro chrome which uses a 2k urethane base coat followed by a layer of mirror reflective silver followed by a clear 2k urethane top coat with either a lite violet tint to keep the chrome hue. Or the clear top coat can be mixed with candy tints. Since the Candy 2o's aren't mixable with urethane, what candies would you recommend?
I know this is three years old but you can even shoot automotive clear over it, for what I’ve heard. If you’re hesitant, you can also spray the autoborn sealer over your work before using any clear to have a “safety shield “ on your work prior to clear.
This the best video I've seen on how to use these kandies, You're a great teacher, Thank you!
My pleasure Nathaniel, thanks for watching!
Thanks for the response! I will be using these on my next bike project.
talk about game changers. im loving the endless possibilities and use friendliness of the product
Answered all my questions. Basically always reduce with intercoat clear balancer/reducer.
Awesome video,this video just answered all of my questions about this paint
I’m really glad I bought candy red and blue they made my lures pop I will buy more in the near future.when I buy the clear can I still use two part epoxy?

How to make silver like a fan shape ❓ thanks for your all teachings.
Hi. Sorry Im not sure what you mean.
@@SMDesignsAirbrush , before painting candy red, it's a silver base coat that looks like an arc lines, sorry my English not so fluent. Thanks bro ✌️
@@stealth117chen8 A grinder was used to mark the metal before the candy was sprayed.
@@SMDesignsAirbrush , thanks a lot for your information. Very useful. GBU ☝️😇☝️
Wow, those are so vivid. How did you do the initial spiral fan design? Is there any video to show how to do this from the beginning?
That's a radial sander
Can you spray candies directly over gold leaf?
Let US see More of your Student Helmet work
I was also interested in the panels from TNT but I cant seem to access their website but I would love to get a hold of a few, what would you recommend I do?
Can anyone tell me why I keep getting worms whenever I use candy2o? I give it plenty of time to sit after mixing with 4030 and 4012 ? It happens with all colours? Thanks.
being water based these would these fade easily like the previous range of aa cabdies?
+Crispy Diddly our new candies are dye based and subsequently will not fade like the previous candies.
Anyone else wearing headphones?
So for the red panel you put 4030 into the red, then put a layer of 4030 over it, then the white/art, then clear?
correct.
Hi
What distance is the gun from panel when spraying.
Thank you
Wow - does that circular pattern happen on it's own or is that over some brushed metal finish?
Edward Bonthrone I’ve been wondering how to achieve this effect too
Are these better in that the original candies, everyone said their color wouldn't hold up on a motorcycle. You were suggested to use HOK candies instead.
+ronturnpaugh these are a completely different animal than the previous candies. They will undoubtedly hold up on a motorbike.

If I can use an airbrush to paint the candies, what am I doing wrong?
I would only airbrush detail and graphics. I would not use the airbrush to spray a larger area. For a 10"x10" I would spray it with a 0.8 mini gun.
Team IRELAND! :-) Nice vid buddy!
Hi a question for you I'm doing a buts of iron man in white resin I assume I'd need to put down a metallic base before the candy to get the full effect
Yes. For a really deep and reflective look I would def shoot it over an aluminium.
You say your first candy is "Blood Red", but I don't see this colour on your website - has it had a name change ?
www.smdesigns.co.uk/candy20 thanks.
over crystal would it come out with this affect I know it depends on the way the crystal dries but I was just wondering have you tried this to see the effect?
I have not tried our new candies over crystal but it will work fine.
In fairness the emerald bad example makes good watermelon skin 😉
You say use 'clear'- which one do you recommend? I can only see inter coat 4030 on your web site, is there a finishing/topcoat product available?
We dont sell clear coats, however the candies as with all our paints are compatible with just about any clear. I personally like Max Mayer.
:-) Ok, next question- I'm a complete newb, btw- can you cure (some/most/all) clear at room temperature?

Is this directly over metal or sealed before you apply the candy? If so what sealer did you do? Very nice video!
4030 sealer
Will using the Midcoat clear increase the durability of the candy for working on and masking on?
I imagine it would...it's just a mid-coat acrylic medium...if you take off microscopic amounts, it wouldn't really affect it that badly, you could always paint extra layers of midcoat clear to anticipate the masking...
I should mention that if you watched the video, though, be cautious of the upbleed. It will bleed upwards into the medium...he demonstrates this in the video...
where can i got some of those oval sheets of metal?
TNT pannelz
how would these candy20 work over say crystal?
What's a good clear coat to put over candies for automotive / helmets? Typical 2K urethane?
Any 2k urethane will work. I would recommend a medium to high solid clear.
@@SMDesignsAirbrush Thanks. I mostly airbrush models but I'm venturing into other stuff. Trying to figure out all this stuff out. I appreciate your help.
Do you clear it first over the gringer marks before the candy?
+Joe Jones you dont have to clear over the grinder marks but it gives a much smoother surface for the candy.
can you spray this over a regular automotive base coat? thanks much
+knuckle head yes our candies can be applied over "regular" base coats.
How can I get tht airbrush affect on a a car or truck. Like that board to paint Ed red candy

Can the Auto Air Candy 2o's be mixed with 2k ckear urethane without using the sealer, reducer or intercoat clear?
never mix water-based with urethane!!!!

What candies do you recommend?
your question was can they be mixed. The answer is no. however if you mean are they compatible then yes they are 100%.
sm designs airbrush Sorry, I meant mixed. I should've worded my reply a bit better. I'm getting into spray / hydro chrome which uses a 2k urethane base coat followed by a layer of mirror reflective silver followed by a clear 2k urethane top coat with either a lite violet tint to keep the chrome hue. Or the clear top coat can be mixed with candy tints. Since the Candy 2o's aren't mixable with urethane, what candies would you recommend?
I only use Createx, sorry.
is it possible to clear with urthane automotive clear or will that cause a "melt" of the 4030/candy?
We recommend a urthane clear with all Auto Air products.
What varnish is used?
What kind of clear can you use for these candys ?
I know this is three years old but you can even shoot automotive clear over it, for what I’ve heard. If you’re hesitant, you can also spray the autoborn sealer over your work before using any clear to have a “safety shield “ on your work prior to clear.
Hi, what is flash off time for these to recoat?
standard 10-20 min flash off between coats depending on temp and humidity.
how do they go over white flake?
white flake would be an excellent ground coat for our flakes.
I had great success with Blood Red however Marine Blue came out .ore like Ultra Violet. Not sure why this is.
The marine does have a violet tint to it.
What type of clear cote do you use?
Max Mayer
What's the spray gun brand?
He is using Iwata spray guns. I use the Iwata mini in my spray booth at the sign shop I work at. Very nice spray , but pricey. $450 Canadian.
Good I like his work.
Which model gun
Are you a teacher???
