Mix with other Auto Air Colors series for custom blends.

Mixing Transparent Colors with 4100 Series Aluminum Bases creates custom metallic colors.

For awesome candied metal-flake finishes, mix Transparent Colors directly with 4500 Series Hot Rod Sparkle Series.

Transparent Colors also create a candied appearance when applied over 4100 and 4300 Series Auto Air Colors.

Semi-Opaque Colors can be tinted with Transparent Colors for custom blends by either directly mixing the colors or layering light coats of Transparent Colors over the Semi-Opaque Colors.

Transparent Colors work well when applied in light coats over 4300 or 4500 Series Colors.

Candy Colors 4603 Candy Orange 4oz - USD 7.08

Candy Colors 4603 Candy Orange 4oz

PRICE :USD 7.08

Auto Air Candy Colors are true candy colors. Candy Colors are transparent, brilliant colors that allow the underlying coat to interact with the light passing through the candy color.

Use Candy Colors over 4100 Series Aluminum Bases. Candy Colors may also be used over Pearlized, Iridescent, Metallic, Cosmic, or Hot Rod Sparkle Colors for candy effects.

For awesome candied metal-flake finishes, mix Candy Colors directly 4500 Series Hot Rod Sparkle Series. Candy Colors may be intermixed with one another for custom candy blends.

Although the Candy Colors are used as a base coat color, they are dye-based and special considerations need to be made when using them as opposed to the regular base coat paints. Candy Colors will have a tact-like feel even after they have cured. The Candy Colors are sensitive and cannot be directly masked on. Candy Colors need to be thoroughly cured then cleared before graphics can be taped or masked. If a paint job done with Candy Colors is to be left alone for a prolonged period prior to clear coating, a coat of clear should be applied to protect the colors from picking up dust and dirt. As the Candy Colors are sensitive and prone to blemishes when touched, a coat of clear will prevent any markings that could occur when attempting to clean.

Candy Colors are concentrated. Add Transparent Extender (the base of the Candy Colors) direct to Candy Colors when spraying large areas to prevent unwanted color build-up.

Please note: The Candy Colors will not look good until the clear is applied. The clear's gloss will bring to life the Candy Colors.

The Candy Colors are more difficult to spray than other Auto Air Colors. It is best to work in very light coats. Light coats will avoid unwanted buildup and blotches of color and prevent crawling, which may happen as the Candy Colors are very thin colors. Often, 8 or more coats will be applied to achieve the desired color.

It is imperative to completely cure the Candy Colors. This may take several hours if drying in open air conditions.

Bleeding is an issue if the colors are not completely cured prior to clearing. It may be best to lock up the Candy Colors with the first tact coat. Allow the first coat about 15 minutes or so to flash before putting on the next coat. The clear's catalyzing will prevent the candy colors from bleeding into the next coat(s) of clear, which could happen when wet coats are quickly applied onto one another on top of a coat of candy that has not completely cured. The candy colors' dye crawling does not always occur, it is more likely to happen in humid conditions when moisture rests on the candy as the clear is applied.

For an added effect, lightly dust on a coat of the 4300 Series Pearl White, Metallic White or the 4500 Series Sparkle White onto the Aluminum Base after it has been heat cured but before the Candy Colors are applied. The light dust coat will not be built-up enough to stop the light from reflecting off the Aluminum Base but will create a shimmering effect that pops in the sun, adding a new dimension to the Candy Color. This can also be achieved by lightly dusting on a coat in between coats of the Candy Color.

Other 4300 and 4500 Series Colors can be used and keyed with the Candy Color depending upon the color. For more pronounced, glimmering Candy Colors, use the 4300 and 4500 Series Colors directly as the base for the Candy Color. The 4500 Series Hot Rod Sparkle White is a killer base for the Candy Colors. The Hot Rod Sparkle White will shimmer and glisten through the Candy Color and allow the natural Candy Color to be seen, as opposed to tinting the Candy Color with, for example, Hot Rod Sparkle Purple.

The 4400 Series Hi-Lite Interference Colors can also be used the same as above onto the Aluminum Base to create subtle color-shifting effects that are caught in the sun. The Hi-Lite Interference Colors can also be applied in between coats of the Candy Colors. Make sure the underlying coat of Candy Color has been cured with heat, otherwise the Hi-Lite Interference Color will reactivate the Candy Color and cause bleed-through.

Aluminum Base (Medium) 4102 4oz - USD 8.38

Aluminum Base (Medium) 4102 4oz

PRICE :USD 8.38

Aluminum Bases are recommended for use with airbrush sizes 0.5mm or larger. A 0.3mm size airbrush may be used when thinned with Auto Air Reducer. Aluminum Bases cover quickly and often only 1 coat is needed. Apply Aluminum Base over a coat of Base Coat Sealer Dark to ensure the that they adhere properly to the surface. The 4000 Series Base Coat Sealers have better adhesion than the 4100 Series Aluminum Bases. Aluminum Bases are made with heavy metallic flakes and may require stirring in addition to thorough shaking prior to use.

Aluminum Bases do not have as strong of an adhesion as the other Auto Air Colors. They are best used for bases without a lot of masking and manipulation. Aluminum Bases need to be cured with heat prior to masking and build up must be avoided to prevent lifting. Substituting the Aluminum Bases with the 4332 Metallic Silver may be desired if heat curing cannot be done or if masking causes lifting. Aluminum Bases do make an excellent base for the Candy Colors but can be difficult to work with if all steps are not followed.

Applying a coat of the 4004 Transparent Extender or 4003 Reducer over the Aluminum Base after it has cured prior to masking does help prevent possible lifting during masking. Apply a thin coat of the Transparent Extender or Reducer then cure with heat. The Transparent Extender and Reducer will dry clear and act as a protective barrier between the Aluminum Base and tape or masking film. Another way to prevent lifting of the Aluminum Base during masking is to apply a coat of a urethane intercoat clear onto the Aluminum Base after curing. Like all urethanes, intercoat clears work well with Auto Air Colors.
