►How to achieve a deep, dark Candy color?

There is an easy and economical technique for achieving a dark, deep shade. This involves applying the metallic undercoat at 50% coverage instead of 100% coverage. Therefore, the aluminum undercoat should be applied with one or two thin coats instead of applying the aluminum paint until the black basecoat is completely covered. This allows you to achieve a very deep, dark color with just two or three coats of Candy.

Some information on the Candy :  

Candy technique is a special system that consists of two different coats, which when combined together, create deep and luminous hues:

• The undercoat, which needs to be metallic, pearl or glitter, and that will be used as a neutral background, opaque and light-reflective
• The candy (clearcoat or 1K basecoat), completely clear and to which has been added transparent automotive shades

The final aspect obtained will depend on the number of Candy coats applied: the more Candy passes, the darker the final hue will be.

To succeed with a Candy, the painter must be experienced and work with regularity.
