How to Spray Candy Paint

[@Markus-rm3zt]

I'm an apprentice in Germany, and I binge-watch your videos on the weekends mostly. You explain more than even my superiors do, which is sad. But with your help I can do my part in learning on my own. Thank you for your videos, man.

KOLORS AUTOBODY, AB CANADA 36 years painting.... THIS INFO IS FOR SPRAYING THE HARD TO SPRAY CANDIES .... Clear Dye Candies are really hard to spray.... Candies with Pearls in them look way nicer and are easier to spray... VERY IMPORTANT, make sure your ground coat covers, any thin spots, scratches etc will be magnified by the candy... 2nd IMPORTANT spray like a robot and count your coats, do not over build the edges, if it takes 8-12 coats of candy to cover the Hood then spray the exact 8-12 coats on the trunk lid... try very hard not to double coat your edges, they will look like 16-24 coats and your paint job will look blotchy.... 3rd IMPORTANT spray nice light even coats that's why it takes so many coats on a candy otherwise it will look blotchy..... 4th Important adjust Gun the same each time spray same air pressure each time.... some candy colors are way easier than other candy colors and smaller projects are easier than larger projects (ie motorbike tank to complete car or truck) hope this helps

You look like a lord of the rings elf.

[@clickclive7472]

lm a nurse and had no idea about spray painting cars. 3 month ago i said ah fuck it my car had no value so i thought oh what the hell ill paint it myself. took me 2 weekends to prepare it for painting. My car was sold for $8,000 lol. that was all because of your videos man. keep it up.

[@clickclive7472]

+unenslaved2012 Yeah dont worry about HPV, influenza, hepatitis, tetanus and pertussis viruses man. they can only kill your children anyway.

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

+unenslaved2012 idiot.... go to a country that doesn't vaccinate and visit the sick children..... its horrible. .... and you are promoting doing this to children.... you are an idiot or a very bad person.

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

+HyralProductions not true at all.... these viruses were round LONG BEFORE we had the technology or knowledge of how to make them.... idiot

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

+HyralProductions its not an opinion.... its FACT.... and i only call people "idiot" when they dont have any idea about BASIC SCIENCE, yet make really stupid claims. what do you think killed many native Americans all those years ago... chicken pox. we vaccinate against them now..... dont make such stupid uninformed comments next time.... do a bit of research

[@clickclive7472]

+HyralProductions you know what a good business would be if most people think like you regarding vaccinations? teeny tiny baby coffins. antobodies from yummy milk from mommies only covers the child for up to 6 months. cant cough up 40 dollars for a vaccine? prove them wrong. prices will go down very fast.

[@bazbazzler188]

stunning love how the candy started out pink then after multicoating goes red amazing

[@ironman4308]

I've sprayed a lot of candy paint over the years. High pressure guns do a bit better. I always over reduced the first 2 or 3 coats and cut the fluid way back just to lightly tint the base with each coat. I use a 75% overlap on those first coats. Then open the fluid back up and put a few more 50% overlap coats on and get it wetter. Your method worked well on those pieces but for an entire car it would be difficult to get it streak and mottle free. There's also a method where you add the candy color to your metallic base coat to tint it and go straight to 50% overlap coats with the candy. This works very well and takes the stress out of those first few coats. Thanks for your videos, well done. I've been in the market for a few new guns and I'm an Iwata gun and airbrush fan. Been thinking about trying your favorite, the DeVilbiss Tekna. I've been watching your reviews on several different brands and models. Keep the vids coming!

[@pablox4000]

+Kevin Brooks Hey thanks I will try your advice!

[@eddingtonj9909]

what is overlap? is it each pass?

[@pablox4000]

in case you're still wondering, is how much area you go over again on the way back with the gun, is that clear, kinda hard to explain showing is easy. there must be videos about proper overlap, lots of literature about it that's for sure.

[@danbasta3677]

Tell ya what though, those gravity fed paint sprayers are really great though, can't beat em. For years prior, when you bought a air spray paint gun, the paint, after mixing, was put in the canister on the bottom, then you started spray painting. Not knockin it though, it to came out nice, however, the gravity ones are even much better to deal with.

[@santeebandit3246]

Love Iwata guns. Only gun I use.

[@kuckian]

[@taylormkct]

Another very informative video, learning more and more all the time, well done again and thanks, looking forward to many more.

[@fishhuntadventure]

Candy has fascinated me since a teenager. Maybe someday I’ll have a car worthy of the trouble?! I have this idea in my head to do the candy out the several coats to make the color, then start mixing black candy and fade in the bottom third, mix a tad more black and fade the bottom quarter; more black and do the bottom 15%; the rockers would wind up blue-black. You’d almost have to plan it on paper and do the fades full length with hyper mental concentration to pull it off.

[@markhamze154]

I haven't painted a car in twenty years. Usually we sprayed candy in dark colour were the metalic can't be seen. We sprayed a red undercoat to save money. Then we got two litres of clear and added one litre of red paint and metallic(aluminium powder) if you wanted metalic. Then we painted over the red base and over that we put six to eight coats of clear. Then cut and polish the cheap clear!

[@Mikefngarage]

When I did candy in the old days we used automotive lacquer. But From what I understand today from they guys who I used to work with who still do candy, is they use straight toner diluted with base clear AKA binder. SO We did less lets say blue and more binder and more layering. We always made our own VS using house of color. For instance we would use Thalo blue and base clear say 10% blue and the rest binder then layer it several coats to the desired transparancy. Then urethane clear after.

[@ridered7262]

Looks like glass, Soooo smooth. Looks great!

Nice work gunny, some great colours, love painting colours that are a bit different from the boring usual stuff

[@mitchellferre1652]

Candy panels look nice ! GPI gun looks like its performing well. Fluorescent lights display every imperfection ! Candy painting large panels or entire cars is intimidating ! You make it look easy Gunman ! : )

[@mattcushing4978]

Awesome color and paint job!!

[@georgeelliott4665]

Thank you great video, thought you explain it pretty good much better than most

[@tomc8617]

I think it would better to paint the edges of the fender, or anything you are spraying, first. This way you won't over spray onto the main portion when you do it afterwards. Over spray can leave a "paint dust" layer on anything in the immediate area. And with candies being so thin and semi-transparent it can also result in blotchy areas on the main portion. Better that that "over spray dust" appears on the edges, if any does, rather than the main portion.

[@NateFanning]

+The Gunman I have heard that when spraying paint with flake or sparkle you have to always paint in the same direction, never back and fourth. Is this true? I have been practicing with and airbrush but I have not been able to see a difference. Maybe only when using a full size gun?

[@tomc8617]

Given that candies are so thin and semi-transparent the hardest thing for me when spraying them is getting a consistent even layer of color throughout the entire job, especially ones with a large surface area. Because every coat of candy ever so slightly darkens the layer or layers beneath, so it's very difficult for it not to come out blotchy or streaky over a large area. In an effort to get the color more even throughout I always end up applying more color than I originally intended resulting in the project being much darker than I wanted. Takes some degree of skill and a good amount of experience to do it properly.

[@Icdezines]

1 minute in and i already realized what i was doing wrong....awesome demonstration man thanks

[@looseparts]

I'm never going to paint - Just a wrench guy, but this is the 3rd video of yours I've watched and it's truly fascinating - I'm taking some motorcycle parts to the paint shop tomorrow and now I have some of the vocabulary to talk with them. Thanks a lot - On to 'How to Flow Coat' : -)

[@robstock1981]

I always watch this vid before I lay down some candy. Bring on the weekend. cheers gunman

[@dlamb999]

love the candy, especially the blue :). here at my local shop they put the colour (lechler) into a clear mix base binder to use. say 900 binder and 100 coloured dye. So coarse metallic silver, then kandy, then lacqueur with 5% uv something to put in it. definitely worth the extra money for the end results for line you say a show type kind of car. Thanks for the video.

[@mytunes48]

Nice color, looks sharp good job

[@dinxsy8069]

The second red panel outside looked great, looked as if it was almost transparent through the panel like a piece of glazed glass.

[@gamingdelux0078]

You did a great job! My uncle has painted many many things, and he says that Candy colors are really hard to get perfect...

[@pedromiguelareias]

Wonderful work. I am old but wouldn't mind being an apprentice 🙂

[@allnatural7749]

Learning so much from you Gunman!! Wish we had someone over here in South Africa like you!!! You explain everything so well and makes complete sense!! Thank you for your videos!!! Keep them coming!!!

[@MajorStaticX]

I Love that Blue paint.....I want some!!!!!!

[@SprayWayCustoms]

Nice tutorial

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Thanks man

[@ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣΦΛΥΤΖΑΝΗΣ]

The Gunman, greetings from Greece. Just a question. I painted my taxi with code 680 yellow colour of ppg and mixed 10% of blue pearl in clear coat. Nice result but... For some reason i 've a difference between rear left door and left rear wing. The door looks brighter and more glossy. Do you think that sanding the door and reducing the clear coat with the pearl, it will match better with the rear wing????? or the only solution is to repaint the wing?

[@carlosv4444]

ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣ ΦΛΥΤΖΑΝΗΣ ..1st Gunman nice video lots of solid advice scattered throughout that where we'll said and I agree. Now to the yellow wing Like was said in the video there are a number of variables for the "variance" my first "guess" would be the horizontal orientation of the wing compared to the door being sprayed vertical...a quick check is to observe from above, say on a ladder or deck and compare the wing with the hood/roof/boot do they match yes? No then many other factors can be in play. In any case spray just a wing only. I say this as door probably matches wings/fenders/rear quarters so why risk messing up the rest of the car and wasting a lot of $$$ material only to, possibly, regret the result. I have had similar issues with Porsche style Whale Tails (80's styled wing) getting each surface consistent Simply put candies take Skills that only come with practice

[@crazystang69s75]

ive Sprayed lots of candy paints house of colors, ppg vibrance lines your doing the basics very well But.... Your going to heavy on the dust coat for the Kandy don't lay it on heavy like that.. thts why you got the runs you did but over all your doing well my friend and leave a gd heal time in between

[@PatSeale]

i mix my first 2 coats with intercoat, helped me a lot with getting even coverage much faster..also helped with door jambs because it helped duplicate the concentrated shade

[@aviationtechops]

Do you find the ppg vibrance looks better then house of kolor . I seen videos of the mazda 41v and 46v they look badass . Do they look the same as hok candy apple red or RR from Ford? Thanks and best wishes ✌💯

[@markanthony3275]

Yeah...I've sprayed House of Colour candy...I believe they wanted the first coat thinned 200% instead of 150% like the rest of the coats, if I remember correctly. Loved the colour of Brandywine, always put on twice as many coats as recommended. I found after experimentation that you would actually see a blue tinge in low light, if you put on 10 or more coats.

[@paulbarnes1936]

my repo truck is that blue. nice job gun man..

[@leehowarth8123]

I painted candy apple red on a old truck. I used polyester basecoat candy apple red and I put even light coats on and counted how many I put on as I had to do other panel's the next day when the truck was all put back together it all match in

[@marioatrucking]

[@madmandarren8614]

Great work mate.... But hear is a question that has baffled my painter he been painting for over 28years and he's real good but my Harley just got painted with silver base and candy orange with 5 coats of clear but after 4 weeks some of my paint has lifeted and is still wet and won't stick to the base coat could this be because there's so many coats and should it be baked as we can't work out why it's not sticking thanks

[@judichristopher4604]

BEAUTIFUL

[@simranjeetlovepreet3726]

Super job

[@denniskingsley1485]

looks good....no sanding prepping the paint

[@ethandaniel8123]

If you want to learn how to paint candy, you have to pay attention. It’s not hard at all. All you have to do is paint the car with some paint. Make sure you buy paint to do this. If you don’t have paint, it can be harder to achieve, but it’s doable. Good luck my fellow professional candy paint painters. Take my advice. Remember to and be sure you don’t forget to get a car to paint on. Ask your homie to borrow his to practice your paint on. He most likely doesn’t need a car. I love my best friend.

[@Packer1290]

My car has a blue candy over silver and its amazing. You can't reproduce that depth with just normal paint. The sun hits it and just pops.

[@trievop9234]

Hey just a question do I have to use those exact clear reducer and activators or can I get my own like metallic brand and clear brand ext.

[@jaimitotheduece9142]

[@underworld_habitat]

@the gunman can you get away with using a black primer with a candy color requires a black basecoat, black primer as a black basecoat.

[@vitaliyromny5204]

Добрый день, посмотрел много ваших видео по ремонту.Красите вы отлично. Обратил внимание что вы в основном работаете покрасочными пистолетами DeVilbiss.Почему вы остановили свой вибор именно на DeVilbiss?Почему не работаете Iwata или SATA? Исходя из вашего большого опыта какой краскопульт лутше как универсальний (база,лак)?.Заранее благодарен за ответ.

[@mohamadgezzawi9404]

nice work .. can i get the code for candy red?

[@enkrypt3d]

I have a midnight pearl nsx and it was repainted and the shop did a decent job but the pearl is nearly gone. Is there anyway to add another few layers of pearl in the clear coat to add the pearl effect? It's hard to explain without seeing it in person.

[@mattmurphy6157]

may I ask why you did not change spray pattern between coats? Just curious as a new painter. I did my shop truck with a tri stage but only did 2 coats of green pearl and changed direction of spray from vertical first to then horizontal after. I did however still get a touch of modeling in the pearl coat.

[@reyjr3608]

hello gunman..in this video,u said to be careful to do not get mottle when spraying candy..i wonder if u have some leftover candy and update this spraying candy video guide. but this time using Dv1.just a suggestion. by the way,i got mottled on trying spraying candy green.and still failing after 3times trying.the car still in the spray room now.don't know what to do. and i blaming the gun.. my senior blaming the paint.help

[@sean4657]

[@YahsonIsrael]

love the color

[@JNatella]

So the process for doing candy in a flow coat, would be primer, base coat, clear. Sand it, then clear it again with candy, then clear again??

[@braleyshardwoodcustoms8584]

Gunman howdy brotha ,coming from Texas USA u kick ass in the booth , I need a suggestion favor , I'm novice in this range . I've regrettably already ordered a bc/cc kit with the HS clear from UreChem, I ordered zombie green bc/ realising the green is to loud for my application in general, so I'm wanting to share it with a Kandy, possibly black? Will this kill the zombie green too the point of it being a waisted order? Id like the green too be there still and slightly presentable, but a touch turned down. Being a novice in this area an I biting off more than I can chew? I have a descent rig .lol . But really needing insight, possibly black metal flake thru a intercoat instead of a blackish Kandy? Lmk .thanks

[@Brad_hj2tuff]

Ive heard candys fade quick? Dna candy colourz basecoat looks pretty good. Im going to try it soon

[@aviationtechops]

With candy people make the mistake of spraying 3 coats of base then candy 3 coats as well since its transparent you have to spray 5 -6 coats so it won't dye back . Then it's off to the cleat coat candies are difficult to spray so many steps but one of a kind finishes. Good point tho ✌💯

+pablox4000 Thats crazy because I drive a Mazda 3 😂. I painted it and did fairly ok on it. The only loved it but I know I can do better. Im using a test panel next time.

[@pablox4000]

+SKROOGE850 It's a sweet car uh! The one I shoot at the shop turned out too red and the flake underneath didn't pop as much as the original, I guess I added too many coats or the ratio wasn't right (I used 20% tint, not even a candy concentrate just regular tint, in inter coat) Boss was too cheap to buy the actual candy recommended by the paint store. Seems like I'll be reshooting it this weekend :/ cheap turned out expensive
