Description:

The Candy metal flakes Kit offers a deep, translucent color, with a sparkling and glittery effect.
This Candy metal flakes effect is quite unique as it involves large silver plastic flakes (the METAL FLAKES), which, when applied, overlap and are positioned at different angles, creating a sparkling relief that varies depending on the viewing angle.

Process :

The application is done in 4 steps:

1 - Basecoat: A basecoat must be applied first, it can be a black colour basecoat (for a dark effect clearly showing the flakes) or an aluminium gray for clear effect.
Apply thin and repeated passes until it covers the background. Go to step 2 within 30minutes.

2 - Metal Flakes: Metal flakes are pre-mixed with a transparent base then sprayed with a spray gun.
You have the choice between different sizes: 50µm, 200µm, 400µm, 600µm

MetalFLakes glitters are now supplied in the form of concentrated paste.
Use and mixing are extremely simple.
Add 100 to 200g of concentrated pigment paste to the binder

Dilution of binder: 100 parts of binder / 70 parts of thinner
Caution: for sizes 400 and 600µm, you will need a gun with a very large nozzle (2.5mm)
Apply at a distance of 30/40cm from the support, by repeated coats to cover the background. Go to step 3 within 30minutes.

3 - Smoothing: Apply multiple coats of UHS clearcoat to cover the flakes and create a smooth surface.
Allow to dry for a full night, and wet sand lightly with 1200 grit, then skip to step 4.

4 - Candy: Application of transparent Candy colour as a resistant and glossy topcoat
You have the choice among several Candy colours (see Candy colour chart in PDF)
