How To Paint With Kandy Paint and Metal Flakes

[@samuelfrodge4988]

Oregon baby! Fender came out nice.

[@Nicholas-db5sl]

What a delicious colour!

[@shanevision]

Man that color came out fantastic. Nice job. Im getting all kinds of flake & candy ideas for my 66 Nova hot rod. Now just need to find a shop willing to take on a big project. Not many shops interested in doing candy & flake on cars anymore.

[@stephenjones4013]

Love the DIY booth dope on many levels

[@DavidMiller-z1f]

Just finished the candy purple and cleared .love it

[@southwest6720]

New sub here..thats a dope color and the flake pops out nice

This is incredible brother! I love that color phenomenal work

I'm not normally a fan of purple but after you painted that, that is sick son! NICE!

Thank you

Whoa that's beautiful

[@marks7352]

That is Beautiful. You said to say what you did wrong and you missed a very large spot. Its my 1992 F-350 Diesel.... :) .. Thumbs up to you

[@anonimous2451]

BRING IT ON OVER and the inflatable Paint booth as well. Prolly 2-3 days in the 80 degree range would work very nicely. And of course you already sanded and prepped it right?

[@miguelpagansr6128]

Wow that looks beautiful, I never considered purple as a paint choice but I'm a changed man.🎉

[@Cassandra.Jolicoeur]

That end result colour looks amazing !!

[@JuanRamirez-xo1fq]

It definitely is.

[@akeemjackman9582]

Great video…I was going back and forth between size of the flake. It will definitely pop!

[@geneva760]

Nice color - NEATO. Have a nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.

[@lisannebartels9886]

Do you have a video from how it is looking in the sun? I am so curious. I love it!!

[@joenisnapje712]

Stunning 🤩

[@dougg1075]

We used to tape paper on the table in the mixing booth and change it out when it got jacked. Good job dude

At last, somebody who speaks plainly on the subject.

Wow.. that is a beautiful color...

[@stevenragsdale7429]

Thank you

[@hectorlozada2503]

Looks good

[@robmilender7625]

I see only two things that might compromise the paint job. First after you finished sending, you can see you didn't get around all the rivets. Any spots that aren't sanded will peel over time. Secondly, the two spots that were sanded down past the dark color will show in the sunlight. Its best to do your sanding then spray a solid primer to cover all body work with one color, then sand again and finally your color to get a uniform coverage. It turned out nice though. Just a couple of tips if you're interested.

[@YoursInYeshua]

Looks great man! I'd say you got it!

[@guruprasad4144]

superb colour.. good job..!

[@brokenbavariane9032]

Looks amazing man 💜💜💜

[@fauziahmad7877]

I have a voodoo purple Dyna with peel off rust paint on rear fender. I think harley factory used silver flakes instead of purple glitter flakes and purple candy coated finish. this video is the best way to repair the paint

[@v9988r]

nice work. It looks Amazing. i will like to get that color on my 1987 Toyota Celica Gt.

[@clementsebastian1977]

Awesome paintwork 👌

[@txmade6765]

brother that is a sweet color.nice work.whats the name of that color.

[@victoriagriffin8996]

Wow that's beautiful! A tip I would have that will save time for buffing is to go slightly slower on your passes with the clear. It uses a little more paint, but the finish will be smoother.

[@fabioarrua]

fast passes with high fluid flow is for pros

[@anonimous2451]

Everyone's an Expert hence that's why they tune in. Keyboard Critics suck. Enjoy and stop with the BS. I tuned in cause I'm doing a similar 2 tone paint job on a sport bike and wanted to see how yours came out. The tank and upper fairings are black, and I wanted to flake em a bit and was curious if the candy would change it that much. Guess it does.....so flake and clear it is. I already got Purple on the Fender and lower fairing. Thanks for the show. Appreciate it. Besides every bike goes faster in Black.....

[@agentorange2554]

@@anonimous2451 That's why I'm painting my boat black and red, it will be way faster!!!! The fish love the sparkles in the metalflake, they'll be coming from all over the lake to check it out. It's gonna be great!!!!

Tip always pull triger when loosening and tightning the tip or u will scar them

[@gboy1298]

Wow watching that fender rock back and forth and leaning sideways had me a nervous wreck. 😳

[@stevenragsdale7429]

😂😂

[@ClinToneCust23]

Did you mix the candy with the same 2k clear? Or with an inter coat clear?

[@808autobody7]

Beautiful... did u put base over all of those burn through rings? Or did u put some kind of primer down first? I'd hate to see that Beautiful work ring out when the sun starts baking those solvents underneath 😢

[@BradFFA]

I have a question noob here did u primer black then put flakes in ur clear coat then spray the purple base over that then another layer of clear??

[@P8FPV]

Looks sick bro

[@Carnage_5.0]

Does using that black base coat before the flake make the paint overall darker like it would without metal flake Would a silver vase coat and metal flake make it lighter

[@stevenragsdale7429]

Yes it would be lighter

[@leonardtribble2475]

Beautiful

[@boxer71c55]

Just curious how the paint has held up since?

[@isaacgodbolt9244]

Thanks going to show it to you once I finish it’ll be a few months

[@lokogurka]

Do you have de color code for that purple candy?? Awesome work brooooouuuuuu

[@Imoverit2]

awesome job mate.

[@nuclearbum9858]

purple candy over black with flake . looks good to me

[@MicheluceRizzuto]

When I did my fenders I mig welded the brackets on the inside and eliminated the rivets for a smoother look. Why don’t you use a strainer for the primer? I realize that you’re going to sand the fender after priming but any little piece of trash could clog up the tip. So why not strain the primer ?

[@stevenragsdale7429]

Primer always seems too thick for a strainer and since I’m using a bigger tip I have never had any issue with clogging.

[@robertscott3399]

That is Sic As hell man oli love it. Iam wprking on an old BC Riich candy red with 0.025 red flake.

[@shadbaltz5643]

I think you did a good job...

[@Pmknk]

What else do you mix with the clear coat and the flakes?????Do you mix hardener and thinner(reducer I believe??????)

[@stevenragsdale7429]

4:1 mix ratio for the clear coat I used and 10% reducer

[@TheReverb1]

Hi mate; if I may I want to ask you about the silver flakes; how the gun is not clogged? Or is an special flake for normal guns? What is the number of the pointer? I am asking due to in this Country there is no those big metal flakes and I am searching for alternatives. Thanks

[@stevenragsdale7429]

I was using a 1.4 is this video

Excellent work. If you wanted to murder that, when would you lay the black coat? Thanks! Subscribed!

[@stevenragsdale7429]

james clark thanks man. What do you mean by murder?

[@SuperThejim]

@@stevenragsdale7429, when painting midnight red, for example, people paint one or two thin black coats over the final base coat, before spraying the clear coat. To allow the color to seep through in direct sunlight.

[@stevenragsdale7429]

james clark I would candy black over the fender I just painted. After the clear drys I would sand with 800 grit and put a hint of black in the clear and spray. That should add that effect you want.

I want to paint my car a smoked grey candy with flake what would be my order with bare metal?

[@stevenragsdale7429]

Prime. Base coat. Flake. Kandy

[@EditsWithBlur]

I was alittle concerned with painting in the same spot you sanded but wetting it down seemed to work fine. So the flake and candy get mixed into the regular clear and after you do plain clear to seal it in? Also saw some of your other videos looks like your also a NorCal native

[@stevenragsdale7429]

EditsWithBlur yes the clear after is to cover over the flakes to make a mirror finish. Yes I’m in the San Jose area

EditsWithBlur I would buy a quart of base and a quart of clear. You can buy the micro flake that’s very small flake. A 2 oz jar of micro flake should be enough for your bike
