Thanks for putting all your hard work into testing these, we all really appreciate it. Gonna finish watching the full video later tonight.

[@modelerjerry5119]

Another great testing video. I've been hunting for a "blue" color for my R2D2 build and I am convinced that Candy Indigo on the silver base nails it. Alclad is such an awesome product. Gorgeous colors and spray so easily. Thanks again Barbatos Rex.

[@teddyjones8027]

Hello is your R2D2 project a model kit or a scratch built project ???? If it's a kit which 1 is it if you don't mind me asking ???? Thank you for your time.

[@tofubytestudios8498]

I want to thank you for doing this. Sometimes you have no idea just by looking at the bottle how these are going to turn out once you spray them or with different bases. I'm always recommending your channel during my streams.

[@stevemathison6385]

Saw a video recently where someone dipped half of a clear 1/35 wine bottle in the red and after it dried dipped to whole bottle in the bottle green. Looked like a partially empty red wine bottle.

[@poppafiveone]

Thank you for going through the full range. Always amazed at how people can chose good complimentary colors for two tone paint jobs on the full size cars. When you showed the difference between two coats and 4/5 coats I can see the potential for achieving nice two tone effects on models. Happy New Year to you and yours.

[@teddyjones8027]

Happy New Year everyone, Thank you very much for doing this alclad review because I have used the typical chrome and metal colors which I love but haven't used the candy colors and have been hesitant about using them until I seen some real life reviews so THANK YOU. Love the channel and please keep em coming.

[@az_erp5415]

Hey man, i just wanna say thank you. Everytime i'm checking for a new paint to create new stuff, youtube send me to your channel. I've litteraly watched hours of your videos and honestly, that's good to have a buddy like you to test these paint out for us. Feel like you are showing us the way. Thank you mate, you are indeed a kind man.

Thank you again for another awesome video, I am so glad you did the candy colours this really was an eye opener for me as I make steel roses and use the alcad chrome as the base and ruby red for the petals. Thanks to you I will now try some other candy colours for the petals...... keep up the fantastic work!!!!!!!! Cheers Ric

[@allanlowe9346]

I think there is going to be one green bottle hangin' on the wall very soon. That green is sensational over the alclad base, and also the blue looks great. Thanks for a great year of learning and have a fantastic 2022 and beyond.

[@clarenceobert5860]

Happy New Year B. Rex. Hope you and your family had a great Christmas. Going through the line you painted ... the orange turned (at least on camera) to be an almost "burnt orange" which was really a great color. I'm partial to blue colors, and the violet was really gorgeous. After seeing all the results, all seems to look the best over the AlClad Chrome, except the reds. Great vid. Hopefully the new year brings you and your family the best.

Wow that’s a lot of different colors from 11. Love you showing several backgrounds for each 🙌 I don’t make models or miniature pieces.. I do make sippee cups & sports bottles up to 40oz. I’m wondering if a layer or two of resin over these candys would be an issue.. I want the candy to show through. Generally the resin work as a magnifying glass.. but I don’t want to run buy a whole set to find out it’s not gonna work out. These are so cool.. I want them all! That indigo 🤩, violet 🙌, and the orange & reds 👏👏. ~~I think I’m about to be in the spoon business 😂👌💯 Thanks B. Rex just found you a few days ago and I’m in love! All these tests are epic and your straight up no nonsense approach is delightful. Happy New Year in 2022.. I just know this year is going to be amazing for everyone 💯💯💯

Happy new year, Mr. Rex! As always, thanks for the thorough testing and showcase, it's a huge help to see what's out there and what's possible. Wanted to get your opinion on a different use case, painting clear colors over clear plastics. Obviously, priming/sanding isn't an option here, is there anything I can do to help make sure the paint job is sturdy?

[@Eteric]

Dang man, you went all out! I haven't yet decided to mess with candy stuff yet. I want to work on making my Gunpla old and worn looking. :) I wanted to make a few suggestions while I was thinking about it. Can you make a video on sharpening nippers and other crafting blades? It's not something a lot of folks have touched on as far as I can tell and nippers can be expensive. Another thing is that Madworks has released some newer airbrushes (0.2mm, and the 0.5mm Airbrush). Their first one (the 0.3) seemed to be a solid airbrush and was curious about these others. Anyway, keep up the great work! =)

[@franksinatra8329]

Hello dude !! Another great color comparison video to start the year, I could ask you the favor if you can make a video of these "candy colors" especially the yellow and green tones, to "recreate" the shades of the transparent pieces that airplanes have as the F-16 or A6B Prowler (yellow-gold tones) and the F-117 (green-violet tone) and if you can compare them with other brands such as Mr. Hobby or Tamiya's Clear colors in order to know which one of all these it is more similar to the real plane, thank you very much and happy new year!

[@animalyze7120]

Nice video Love the Alclads. Over a Gold they become Candy Apple, Iron man is Candy Apple Red one of the most popular old school car colors especially on Vettes. Don't have the full line but have most of them and these paints not just the Candy colors are all top notch and easy to apply.

[@seasparrow7427]

Off topic. I've searched but haven't found any videos describing the different uses for the different sized needles or how to determine what size needle you may have. I purchased a Harbour Freight airbrush but it didn't say what size needle it was running... Your videos are awesome and I appreciate your help. 👍🤜

[@JS-jt5bi]

A commendation for all the time and effort needed for this review. There seemed to be some similarities amongst the two different greens and also the two blues in the set? Or is it just the monitor?

[@barbatosrex9473]

It's sometimes hard to really show off certain colors under LED lighting or thru a camera. In particular shades of the same color.

[@ecg5097]

Hey Rex, really appreciate your new videos. Try combining the clear yellow and clear red at around 3:1 to 4:1 ratio over chrome and you'll get the electroplated look similar to bandai's.

That TS42 is a great base for most of them

[@bigchef2112]

Amazing results bud. I use the hot metal colors for my AN fittings, but these candy colors look great. Sad to see #9 gold doesn’t work. That’s my favorite gold out of all golds in lineup.

Great review of the Alclad candy's. This really does help narrow down the color choice for my guitar. I thought I would be sold on the Cobalt blue over the Alclad chrome which looks great, but I like the look of the TS-42 base as well. I think the candy red over the gold really looks great, too bad the Mr Color scuffs too easily, but you suggested the Tamiya Gold so this is what I am going to try out first, I really like the effect of the gold highlight underneath.

[@barbatosrex9473]

I would go with the Tamiya Gold, then the candy and then I would gloss clear coat it to finish it off.

Great video and great colors!👌👌 Do you think these will work RC-lexan bodys? Or is the paint too fragile. Saw hos easily it was scratched in the video.

[@barbatosrex9473]

You would need to use a Lexan paint made for R/C bodies. Alclad I believe has a lexan paint line as does Spaz Stix. Spaz also has the candy colors in a spray can as well as airbrushing paints

[@johnm.gerard1718]

It all depends on the piece/project being painted. But in general I prefer the Silvery Chrome colors apposed to the darker Browny black Chrome color. A color like Chrome Car Wheels I like the best.

[@pankbot]

Already snagged a bottle of the ruby red based on an earlier video you did but now I need that indigo and cobalt. I agree that they should have used the chrome as the base. The silver base doesn’t do the colors any justice.

[@lastshadow9351]

Nice! That red candy over gold is candy apple red and then you just use candy black to do some shading. I think they have one of the best line ups of candy colors and if you want to go acrylic Createx also has a good selection.
