Whatever it is that you want to accomplish, we have a great selection of Candy Pearl paint colors to choose from. We have even mixed them together to create a custom interior for an old surfer van. Fiberglass, plastics, epoxy resins are just a few of the mediums, but you can even use them in Elmer’s Glue! We have mixed colors together to make custom paint colors to match existing paint jobs. They are durable, and can be used in temperatures of around 400✯, making them safe for powder coating and plastics manufacturing. They are available in Metallics, Nightshade, and Florescent varieties. With lots of Candy Pearl paint colors to choose from, you can make any color you like. line in record time.We carry a large selection of Candy Pearl Paint ColorsĬandy Pearls are our color line of pearls. The new stuff is almost indestructable, never wears through and comes off the assy. I like reaching back into older technologies, but only expect those types of results and durability. We all want our's to look like MIA Custom Shop jobs, but I think technology and speed of production may be in the way. Not sure if that's how Fender does it in China and Mexico, but in the US, I'd be very surprised if they are shooting VOC-paints.
Build a $80,000 spray booth and you, too, can shoot such fancy goo. Many of the newer systems are water-bourne catylized 2-part paints that fully cure in seconds using UV light or they can be powder paints that flow out and cure in seconds with infrared light. Production paints are very hard to match since they use technology we can't duplicate with a rattle can. The effect is CAR, but I think the process was base coat/clear coat, but may have been a one-part system, too. You are on the right track, maybe just the wrong train.Įdit: looking at your guitar picture again, I think that's a metallic red with gold pearl, not a true candy apple red. Someone big like Hobby Town online might give a better selection. If you want more shimmer, you can use a clear pearl over the top of the color before top coating with clear. If your paint isn't letting the gold show through, it's not a true candy. It should take 3 or 4 to get past pinkish to red. Candy is transleucent and hard to get to cover in one coat when shot properly. You also many not be using a true candy paint. I call it "smokin' in the color" if that helps visualize it. Try a test panel with a solid base coat of gold and then dust coats of color until you get the look you want. You may have gotten too heavy on the color. Here's the color of the guitar, hope the screen color looks right Has anyone here used small cans from a hobby store? I'm going to go to one tomorrow and look for it - but curious if it will lok as good as fender CAR (over silver of course)
So looking on reranch, the smallest can I can find is a big can (rattle can) which is way more than I need - and on their forum I read them talking about 3 oz cans from a hobby store, with examples of jobs that looked good. Loking in the trem spring cavity it sure looks like silver undercoating, tho everything I've read said they used gold undercoating after the 60's.
I went to an automotive paint specialties place today and with their color chips they matched what they called Romanesque Crimson - which was a dead on match. I want to paint the headstock, and am pretty sure it is Candy Apple Red (way deeper red than my Fiesta red)
