We recommend to add these concentrates to automotive clearcoats, to get ready-to-use Candy topcoats.
Some customers are used to mix the concentrates to transparent mono-component binders (Available in our section TOPCOAT), as it makes it easier to apply the Candy. One has to take into account that topcoats are more transluscent than binders.

How to achieve a darker effect:
two choices :
1 - apply more layers of "Candy": beyond 5 layers, the result is very dark.
2 - apply less pearlescent, sequined or metallic undercoat, so that the black background is always a little visible
