Our concentrated powders are a great way to bring your creative vision to life.

Understanding the Unique Nature of Candy Paint

Candy paint, which gets its name from the translucent look of rock candy, is known for its rich color and see-through properties. It has been a staple in the custom paint world for many years, and it can be used to create dynamic and unique looks for all your custom projects. Our concentrate powders will allow you to create your own version without the high costs usually associated with candy paint. Here are some of the key benefits:

Complete Transparency: Unlike many other types of paint, candy paints are designed to be translucent allowing the underlying color to shine through and to provide you with a high level of color depth.
Rich Color: The vibrant colors allow you to customize your base and create effects with unique tones and hues.
Layering Effect: Layering can be used to create complex color schemes that shift as the light interacts with them.

DIY Tips for Using Our Black Candy Concentrate

To use our Black Candy Concentrate Powder to create a sprayable candy paint, follow this simple process:

Check your Ratios: Start by ensuring your clear base has a 1:1 ratio of reducer to clear.
Mixing Your Concentrate: Use one 25 gram bag of our concentrate powder with a gallon of clear to create a sprayable product.
Soaking and Stirring: Measure the amount of reducer you will use, and let the appropriate amount of powder soak in it for about 30 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Straining: Strain your newly colored reducer into your base coat clear.
Mix and Spray: Then simply mix it and spray it, with clear coats over the top.

Achieving the Perfect Finish

To make sure that your new custom finish lasts a long time and is able to withstand the harmful effects of the sun, make sure to use a quality, high solids clear coat. Keep in mind that candies have been known to have low UV resistance, and the more clear coat you apply, the longer the paint job will last. Some custom painters have even used as many as 16 coats of clear to protect the vibrancy of their paint jobs!
