Candy clearcoat in spraycan – 2K topcoat or 1K base coat

Candy paint in spraycan

What is candy paint? It’s the overlap of the metallic basecoat with the candy coloured and transparent topcoat that produces the candy effect.

► On this page, we present Candy aerosol paint. This is the second stage of the Candy paint system, which consists of a completely transparent coat of colour.

It should be applied over a metallic undercoat, preferably aluminium.

The Candy topcoat spraycan 2K allows to clear coat, protect and give a glossy effect and above all to colour while creating depth perception. Depending on the number of Candy passes applied, the final colour will be more or less dark.

Topcats in spray are finishes (re-topcoating optional) that resist to bad weather conditions and chemical products as well.

This product page offers two different options, both in aerosol form:

1 – 2K two-component clear coat 

This provides a durable, glossy finish, just like a car body clear coat. The aerosol can be used for up to one to two hours after the hardener has been activated.

2 – 1K single-component base coat version

This is a base coat for varnishing; it allows for the application of thinner and more numerous coats, more easily and without running, with a faster drying time. Without a two-component topcoat, it will not be fully resistant to abrasion or fuels. The aerosol is ready to use and can be reused.
