Candy pigment jobs, unlike standard or metallics, require a mid-coat to exist practical over a base coat on the vehicle. With careful preparation, the procedure is quite uncomplicated. Without that preparation, painting with candy color paints can be an intimidating and altogether frustrating experience that isn't worth the aggravation. Whenever possible, processed pigment jobs should be applied within the confines of a sealed-atmosphere paint berth to preclude debris from getting into the candy or clear meridian coat.

Gear up the Vehicle Properly

Grooming of the vehicle for applying candy coat pigment isn't unlike from applying regular paint. Apply a grey scratch pad to lightly scour the surface to ensure proper pigment adhesion, and then thoroughly clean the unabridged pigment surface with wax and grease remover. It's important to thoroughly clean the surface because any imperfections in the base coat will be magnified past the candy mid-glaze. Once imperfections are in the mid-coat, they can't be repaired without stripping the paint down to the base coat and starting over once again.

Spraying the Base Coat

Spray the base coat onto the vehicle. Use simply the base coat prescribed past the paint manufacturer for apply with that detail candy colour. This allows you to match the color later--if you have to--without having to tint the base coat. Apply two coats of candy base to the vehicle to ensure proper coverage as well as to avoid having stripes in the paint. Let the base coat to dry slightly and so use a tack rag on the surface to remove any dust or other debris that has settled on the pigment.

Applying the Candy Coat

Apply the processed coat to the vehicle in two coats. It is best to spray the mid-glaze in a sealed spray booth, if possible. If this is non viable, take pains to keep the candy mid-coat clear of dust or particles that may get lodged between the clear top coat and the candy coat. Allow the mid-glaze to dry out co-ordinate to the instructions found on the paint can before applying the clear top coat.

Applying the Clear Superlative Coat

Spray the clear top coat onto the vehicle afterwards using a tack rag to gently sweep away any dust or other contaminants from the paint surface. Apply 3 moderately heavy coats of clear elevation coat to the vehicle to seal in the processed mid-coat. This allows you plenty room to sand and buff the surface without danger of breaking through the clear and damaging the candy glaze.

Final Sanding and Buffing

Sand the clear top glaze after it has fully stale using thou-grit wet/dry out sandpaper with h2o and so with 1500-dust sandpaper with water. Keep a dry rag handy to dry out off the surface of the clear coat. Remove most of the orangish skin, or texture from the surface, but not all of it. Orange peel helps reduce scratches in the surface of the vehicle. After sanding, utilise polishing compound to an orbital buffer and vitrify away the sand scratches until the candy pigment job no longer appears hazy.
