Our candy base coats need to be mixed with our reducer at a ratio of 2 candy to 1 thinners and will dry with a matte finish. Light even coats are best with a 50 to 60% overlap. The more coats put on the darker and more intense the colour will be. These are best sprayed over a coarse silver base or metal flake which can be seen through the colour, other colours will give a different colour tone. The nature of candy is that it is a coloured translucent basecoat. These paints are true candy which are a 3 stage paint, base, candy and clear.
Sample shown was sprayed over our coarse silver base coat. Applied properly, it’s hands down the most durable and fade resistant product on the market.A rich and sumptuous green reminiscent of the famous precious stone This is the reason House of Kolor is the industry standard. How a car looks out of the booth is important, but how it looks three, five or ten years down the line is just as important. You’re not just paying for appearance, but for durability as well Something to consider when purchasing custom paint. Remember, we need a basecoat, candy coat and a clear coat to get the desired effect. Secondly, candy isn't more expensive than other high-quality automotive paint, you just need a lot more of it. For one, candy is sprayed in layers and thus requires more coats, and with more coats comes more time. There is a reason shops charge more for a candy paint job than a standard paint job. Rest assured though, because whether you choose to go with Organic Green over Silver Pearl, Organic Green over Galaxy Grey, or over the countless other options, the result will be a custom paint job that only authentic House of Kolor products can produce. If you've ever seen a House of Kolor Color Chart, you noticed the amount of options to choose from. House of Kolor Organic Green Kandy isn't a color, but a range of colors The color of the foundation, brilliancy of the metallic, even size of the flake can have a drastic effect on the final color. In a Candy paint job, the ground coat, or basecoat, is vitally important to the color outcome. It's the combination of transparency and depth that makes a candy's effect unachievable in any other product. But with candies, the light passes through the topcoat all the way to the ground coat and reflects back out, carrying the reflection of the dye with it. When light shines on a painted surface, it reaches the pigment and reflects the color. Candy, on the other hand, uses dyes, which allows the resins to remain transparent. It's through this suspension that the paint gets its opacity, or body, and the ability to cover a surface. Automotive paint, even custom paint, is made of grounded pigments that suspend themselves in a resin base. Doesn't sound like much, but it is in fact this transparency that allows candies to be distinguishable from all other paints on the market. But sprayed over a black metallic or dark gray and you got yourself a classic kandy tailor made for the old school rides.īut before we go any further, let's address a few questions I get a lot of.Ĭandy (or Kandy) is a transparent base mixed with a urethane dye. Put it over an Orion Silvermax base or Solar Gold for a fresh, modern kandy look.
