Murdered Candy, A Custom Paint Technique

[@kemosabedriv]

Thank you very much. My dad taught me how to paint, before he passed away. I always appreciate new techniques and tips and tricks.

That's some special shit right there. I remember painting tractor wheels with my pop-pop as a kid. I ended up painting fighter aircraft in the Air Force. Tomorrow, I'm painting a trailer for a friend, and my 15-year-old son will be out there learning with me. It's those memories we carry forever.

Thank you so much for sharing so much knowledge that is helping to change careers, by learning all of the techniques that you teach, and being able to provide paying customers with quality work and products. My eyesight has become way too poor to continue doing tattoos, after 40+ yrs in the industry, but with your help, I'll be able to support myself doing something I love and tinkered around with over the years. I could never charge money for anything less than quality work, and you always provide very thorough videos that I can understand easily and learn quickly. After I can finally afford corrective surgery I might not even go back into tattooing because I know I'll be very satisfied painting and airbrushing with your products, and your instructions to keep knowledgeable about everything that you teach. I'm gonna be going back thru your archived videos and binge watching everything that I haven't seen yet, and I really want to learn how to paint with water based automotive paints, if it's something that you recommend, and have videos that I can find to watch. I'm really just beginning this journey, and I hope it's a very fruitful experience, because I'm willing to do anything I need to do to get as good as I possibly can, because as you surely know..... there's no amount of money that equals the pride we feel when we do something amazing and make our customers happy. The money is just a side effect that allows us to keep doing what we do. Thanks again PEACE

[@CreatexColors]

Thank you!

[@TEAutobody]

The way I’ve always done “murdered” candy is by starting with black base then mix whatever candy color you want but mix a crystal pearl with the first 3 coats of candy then 2 more coats of straight candy, clear coat to top it off. Gives a super deep effect and when the sun hits the paint looks like it’s dancing.

[@jerrymeeuwse4957]

Hey Chris, Jerry here. It's been a while. I just re-watched this video and I'm going to give this a try on my neighbor kids ATV. As always you make it look so easy. I have had some great successes with the candy2O paints. now I'm going to try the hot rod sparkle. There still is no 4050 clear around here so I'm ordering it again. I did a small tank a while back with the candy2O blood red and I used some Molotow liquid chrome for my base. let it cure for about 30 days then the red candy20 over the liquid chrome and WOW. one light coat and then three medium coats and the depth was amazing. Three coats of clear and a little polishing and it looked really nice. I know iv'e told you before but thank you so much for these videos. Following your advice and your techniques has really stepped up my painting skills. I'm getting some really nice, professional looking finish products. Thanks again. Take care and Wishing you and yours a great 2023.

I've been trying to get a similar effect in the realm of polishing black dress shoes. But I've been having poor results so far. This helps quite a lot.I've got some new ideas that I'm excited to try!

[@CreatexColors]

Excellent, thanks for watching!

[@grobe6540]

This is unbelievably cool! I really hope I'll be able to do this someday

[@CreatexColors]

Just get started and have fun with the process as you learn to paint things. Start small and simple, make test panels so you can learn from failures ahead of time, and give it time. Start with opaques and colors that cover so you can apply them evenly, and work up to pearls, then transparent and candy colors. Thanks for watching!

[@CreatexColors]

Thanks for watching!

[@joshmartin8856]

I love the Mr. Rogers style intro. Oh me? Just dropping some sparkle. I can't agree more on the conservative use of black candy. I just got finished re-laying deep red over gold marble/black for a similar effect, and 1 coat of black candy was fine, but 2 was overkill. I would lean towards bright candies under black. The clear isn't going to magically bring the color back if you go overboard with the black. If it goes black, it's just a very expensive black paint job.

[@megaman4201]

Yeah, and once you go black...

welcome, thanks for watching

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

turned out great.....what would you get if you put red candy over black base coat..?..just trying to decide which way to take my project....with no flake and with flake i was thinking of using metallic black base or just black base with red candy...?..

[@CreatexColors]

Without the pearl, the effect is not too noticeable as the pearl is what really creates the effect under the candy2o Black. The base is black (6002 Sealer Black), so a candy2o color applied over black looks black (candy2o dues are transparent). The pearl gives the candy2o color something to interact with. Definitely make a test panel or two to determine results with or without a pearl. Thank you.

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

@@CreatexColors ok thanks for leting me know ...

[@cisconetworkingexercises9896]

Is it correct to say that you sprayed the first 4 coats with nothing but HotRod Sparkle Red. Then 2 coats of mixture of HotRod Sparkle Red and BloodRed? I ask because that's the step you added after the first four coats at 2:28.

[@spark23ca]

it looks kinda purple after the black ...could be my screen ....would you have to go almost orange to make it look red?? might be a stupid question but i had to ask

I have a set of alloys, media blasted, that are 'ripe' for that murdered candy black look. As a newbie to the candy paint (been shooting clear, base and some single stage whites) I've been looking for a Candy Prep how to but they're surprisingly hard to find. Also, the terminology and typical fast pace of the YB clips tend to gloss over (if you pardon the pun) the mixing and timing details. Can you direct me to a how to mix and prep candy tutorial? Love that murdered candy with a red kicker coat.

[@CreatexColors]

For candy2o mix ratios and application information, please review the candy20 tech data sheet available at www.candy20.com where there also a video showing how to reduce and mix candy20. For preparation and general application information, please review the Hard-Surface & Automotive Application Guide available at www.creatextech.com. Lastly, our KZbin channel has several videos showing how to mix and spray candy20, which along with our Hard Surface Painting Basics video should be helpful. Thank you.

Createx paints handle heat well over 350 F., and can be used to paint engine walls, valve covers , hood liners, brake calipers and more.
