Another amazing video! These videos with Chris are fantastic. So many great ideas and uses, clear information and great how to advice. The only issue I’d raise is that other than Createx, I find it really tough to find the other products in the U.K. Maybe Simon Murray can help, but it would be great to have some advice on equivalent pre cleaners, tack rags etc. That’s not a complaint, more just asking for help.

I recently found your channel. I like your techniques. I build model cars and have wanted to try Createx paints since the first video I watched. So I will do some tests and see how the paint goes on. I have a project that I am working on of a semi truck and trailer with graphics flowing from the front end of the semi to the end of the trailer. I like this look and will test it out. If it works I will post a video of it in direct sunlight. Wish me luck.

[@CreatexColors]

Thanks. Please review our Automotive & Hard Surface Application Guide available at www.creatextech.com, and make a few test panels before the actual paintjob. Good luck!

[@cameronyoung2004]

Nice demonstration of the candy black. I wonder what candy black looks like over quicksilver? Love the hot rod sparkle.

So sick! I've had a bottle of black Candy20 waiting to be played with. This is the ticket!

[@CreatexColors]

Excellent, thanks for watching!

[@duketogo100]

This was a great demonstration, thank you! Do you have a video explaining how to eliminate the tape lines? Around 11:00 you can see the ridges left by each layer of taping. It is really noticeable in the sparkle green. Does the Candy Black and Clear just end up filling over that so it isn't noticeable anymore?

[@CreatexColors]

This is a demo panel for a complete vehicle we're soon painting murdered ghosted candy. That project won't show tape-lines as a clear will be applied over the graphics before the final top-coat clear, which will hide tape lines. paint doesn't fill; neither candy2o nor the Hot Rod Sparkle are going to hide the graphic lines. Thank you.

[@cmceleney80]

I was an automotive refinishing contractor. Bet after it cures. Wet sand and re-clear at least once. But wet sand only into the top coat. No more.

[@kevinhawkins6811]

Would you consider the 1966 Charger body to be a good candidate for the murdered candy?

[@joshmartin8856]

You really need to show a gold marble + 2 medium coats of bright candy + 1 light coat of black candy. That ends up as an epic murdered candy thats only slightly subdued, but any light at all makes it pop like Orville. Give it a try!

[@mattkraft7414]

Amazing technique! Wonder if it could be done with white instead of black.

[@CreatexColors]

While this is custom painting and there are no rules, generally murdered candy requires a black base. Try a test panel with a white base and see how you like the finish; it could look cool. Thank you.

[@bradysmallz2103]

Im just curious where you get the bigger test panels from only ones ive been finding is the tiny scale ones.

[@jakefriesenjake]

Awesome. I have a fiber glass dashboard that is painted med silver grey metallic. I'm going to be hydrodipping it in black carbon fiber. I'm afraid that it will be too bright of a carbon print for me (lots of the metallic base paint will show through). am I able to mix a solvent clear coat and add a very small amount of compatible black base paint and spray it on to the dashboard to mute it, to make it darker in steps? Or would I need to spray a candy black, and add coats to get my desired effect?

[@CreatexColors]

The short answer is yes; water-based and solvent-based paints may be inter-coated, just not directly mixed. Allow each material to dry thoroughly before applying the next material type. For more, please email us at [e-mail]. Thank you.

Assuming that the clear doesn't need bleed checker? It would only be needed if you wanted to add a createx color on top of the candy correct?

[@CreatexColors]

correct, thanks

[@tommygott5467]

I've never painted a vehicle. Now I have an f250 I'm painting. I showed my wife the hot rod sparkle blue. She fell in love with it. She passed away 3 weeks later. So I'm definitely using the blue. Could I do the murdered out blue with a murdered blue graphic over it. Your videos are awesome, I can't wait to use the techniques. I have three trucks to paint. I'm 50yrs old, trying to teach this old dog some new tricks.

[@CreatexColors]

Hello. the best way to learn how-to paint a complete vehicle with Createx water-based paints is 1) review the Automotive Guide, creatextech.com/assets/pdf/app-guides/2021-Createx-Hard-Surface-Automotive-App-Guide.pdf, 2) check out our complete vehicle how-to video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYWYhWubd8qpfbc. For more, please email us at [e-mail]. Thank you.

[@edwardvanorden7739]

In this or other videos that uses 2 candy's. I don't hear bleed checker being used. Is it not needed over certain candy's.

[@CreatexColors]

candy bleeding is not always a negative issue and when applying one darker candy color over another, the bleeding can be OK. A test penal can always show you what the result is going to look like and whether preventing bleeding is required. Thank you.

[@toyotrustPR]

Great video thanks. That came out great. Have you done a Createx colors 101 video? What the names of the products mean and the different lines. I am new to the brand and I think that will help a lot of people.

Really nice !! .. is it possible to clear it before candy black to flatten the graphics out ?! (After candy black the final clear!)

[@CreatexColors]

[@hori_ink82]

Can you wets sand between each process on the flames to remove tape lines??

[@CreatexColors]

This was a test panel. Had it been an actual project, 4005 UVLS Gloss Clear would've been applied, dry sanded flat, then the clear applied. Dry sand a water-based paint, wet-sand a 2k clear. For more, please refer to our Hard Surface application Guide available at www.creatextech.com and watch our Hard Surface Basics video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYrLnqetpZmnpNk. Thank you.

[@trimmin420]

question about the tape lines can you sand those out before clearing or will that ruin the paint job? im only asking because it looks like the tape is still on the flames

[@CreatexColors]

This was a demo panel. For an actual paintjob, apply an inter-coat before top-coat clear, or clear 2x. candy colors, including candy2o, are best not sanded direct as the scratch marks will show in the finish. Thank you.

[@TheseusTitan]

How did you get such a wide fan from your gun? What pressure do you have coming out of the gun? Good video, thanx!

[@CreatexColors]

Follow the spray-gun manufacturer's inlet psi recommendations and make a few test panels to get even paint distribution within the largest fan size the gun offers. Thank you.

[@TheseusTitan]

@@CreatexColors Thank you. Does the diameter of the air hose effect the fan at all by chance? (.5” vs .375” ID)

[@jesserowe5346]

After doing the candy graphics, could you clear it then rub it all back then do the black candy over to elongate any lines from the masking?

[@CreatexColors]

Yes. This was a test panel. For an actual paintjob, sanding the first application of clear flat to remove the lines, then applying another 2 - 3 coats of the 2k urethane clear is recommended. Thank you.

[@PPCCO.]

Imagine hidden red/ orange flames under black candy.

[@yatishvasa3560]

Bro are you a mind reader??

[@reynaldomarques6408]

Can you do the emerald green to whole body than the black? How would that look?

[@CreatexColors]

Yes, Wicked W424 Hot Rod Sparkle Green can be applied over 6002 AutoBorne Sealer Black, and candy2o 4661 Emerald Green can be applied over the Hot Rod Sparkle Green, with 4664 candy2o Black over the Emerald Green. The best way to see the resulting finish is with a test panel. If you wish, try a section on the test panel applying the candy2o Emerald Green over the Hot Rod Sparkle Green, and one section skipping the Hot Rod Sparkle Green, using just candy2o Emerald Green over the Sealer Black. Thank you.

[@bluegrasspointofview5191]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the process with us. Some folks lightly wet sand right after the final black coat. Do you ever have to do that? I will say, those folks spray the black a lot wetter than you did, so maybe that's why they have to knock it back down.

[@CreatexColors]

This is a demo panel for a complete vehicle we're soon painting murdered ghosted candy. That project won't show tape-lines as a clear will be applied over the graphics before the final top-coat clear, which will hide tape lines. candy2o Black is applied lightly to create the murdered effect, that the key to the technique. Applying candy2o Black wetter would hide the underlying graphics and ruin this effect. Thank you.

[@cornercarverfan]

@@CreatexColors Prior to the final clear, which intercoat clear would be best to smooth out layering and tape lines? I'm assuming the go-to would be 4050?

[@CreatexColors]

4050 UVLS Gloss Clear is the inter-coat clear. Thanks.

[@bluegrasspointofview5191]

@@CreatexColors "a clear will be applied over the graphics before the final top-coat clear" I'm lost. Does that mean, before removing the stencil for the graphics, you will paint the remainder of the hood with a clear coat?

[@CreatexColors]

1) 1st flame graphics, 2) 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear, 3) 2nd flame graphics, 4) 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear, 5) 2k solvent-based urethane clear, thanks

[@dudleypelser931]

How often do you sand between coats? And when would you recommend sanding between coats?

[@CreatexColors]

We don't recommend sanding candy2o for this technique. The 2k automotive clear is applied after the paint dries, without sanding. An inter-coat of 4050 UVLS Gloss could have been applied, which would hep hide the taped-graphic lines apparent in what's really a test panel (definitely apply an inter-coat and sand before the 2k clear for an actual paintjob). For more, please check out our Automotive Application Guide available at www.creatextech.com. Thank you.

[@Melliottfineart]

Can you make some color recommendations for doing this on a white car? Or show a similar technique for white cars

[@CreatexColors]

Paint the white car black, than carry on. Perhaps there are some ghosted techniques over a white base, not sure. If you come across anything or make an interesting test panel,. please share, we'd love to see it. Thank you.

[@ncstonecrew]

Chris, how long should you wait after painting, before applying your next round of tape? I worry about pulling paint off while unmasking. Great tutorials!!!

[@CreatexColors]

Cure times for water-based paints depend on temperature and relative humidity while the paint is drying. Use warm, moving air to speed up drying. The quickest time to tape is achieved by opening up re-coat times and allowing each coat to dry tack-free before applying the next coat. If in doubt, allow for more drying time. For more, please refer to the Hard-Surface Application Guide available at www.creatextech.com. Thank you.

[@johnnyalger69]

[@junepetr3481]

Why the 4050 instead of 4030? I hope this is not a repeat questions. Thanks.

[@CreatexColors]

4050 UVLS Gloss Clear is a better carrier for candy2o compared with 4030, especially for spray-gun application. For more, please see our candy2o mixing video and Tech Data Sheet, autoaircolors.com/candy-dye-colors/candy-2o/candy2o.html. Thank you.

[@eddiegoforth4328]

[@ze_german2921]

How do you avoid the Hard Tape lines?

[@CreatexColors]

To avoid tape lines, avoid overapplying colors which creates build and, use an inter-coat clear, such as AutoBorne 6000 Transparent Sealer or 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear, over base colors before applying graphic colors. Thank you.

[@dgptoto1]

[@CreatexColors]

[@dodgingrent9523]

good videos, but you are always painting small projects, I noticed that your product only comes in small containers how much would it take to actually paint a car? Does Createx sell larger products?

[@CreatexColors]

We've a few videos where a complete vehicle was painted in our booth and the Racing Hood Graphics was a replication of a full-sized racing boat paintjob that was shown in the video, but yes, most of our projects are smaller, representative videos, such as the candy2o Poison Green video we just posted where application with a full-sized spray-gun was shown; this is to be used for larger projects. For more about painting complete vehicle and large scale projects with Createx paints, please refer to our Hard-Surface & Automotive Application Guide available at www.creatextech.com. Thank you.

[@railbuilderdhd]

Great video. I love how it turned out. Nice change in discussing how things are done during the video. Question, how did you knock down the tape edges?

[@CreatexColors]

Tape edges are still visible in the final finish, as its a test panel for a complete vehicle we're soon painting murdered ghosted candy. That project won't show tape-lines as Createx UVLS Clear will be applied over the graphics before the final top-coat 2k solvent-based urethane clear. Thank you.

[@AllmotorMaze]

Can this technique be done with a satin “hot rod” clear on top?

[@CreatexColors]

Satin clear generally doesn't create the depth needed to bring a candy color to life, but it certainly can be done. Make a test panel with this technique comparing the difference between top-coating with a gloss versus a satin clear. Thank you.

[@subzero0479]

Is the clear coat you used a solvent borne that is compatible with waterborne or is it water borne itself? Great explanations and awesome paint job.

[@CreatexColors]

For automotive refinishing, top-coat with a 2k, solvent-based urethane clear. Any clear is compatible with Createx paints. We prefer PPG EC550, kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKbVoHymf7R2hNE. Thank you.

[@javierjimenez7686]

What fluid tip recommended for candy

[@CreatexColors]

1.2mm on a full-sized spray gun, for a mini-gun smaller such as 1.0mm tip.

How about a Murdered Out Ghosted Candy 'bird graphic on a Firebird hood? My car and hood are gloss black. 'Bird decals are awful. But a very discreet, custom painted graphic, which you've shown here can be achieved with black candy, I think, would look awesome. But to make it even more interesting, spray the bird using red-to-black hypershifting pearl's, mixed into black candy, then topped with black candy, to really murder it out. The ghosted bird would barely appear dark red, then quickly disappear as it shifts to black while you move past the hood.
