Candy problem solver idea from an ebayer

[Jim]

Although I haven't sprayed much candy myself,I've read here about the bleeding problems when doin flames or where you have to candy the whole part.I was looking at paint jobs on ebay and read one of the descriptions on how he did his paint job,after thinking about it,I figured out why he did it that way.Here's what he did,He layed the silver metallic base,shot his candy,then layed out the flames,but,he masked up his flames and shot what would be the new base color.Now,you don't have to worry about the whole part getting the candy tint and can use any color you want for the base.For those of you who do alot of candy jobs,Does this make sense?I thought it was a good idea and thought I'd pass it on,Jim

Jim,
Pretty much true...except you should clear over the candy before doing the flames. Other wise, if you sprayed silver, then candy (KK), then masked up your flames, then say, sprayed a light color base, the candy will still bleed. The clear will help prevent this.

Doing it bas askwards also works great with flakes.
SS#090 and SS#070 are a couple we did 'backwards' (candy first, then the base)...thick colors first!

Take care!

Scott,I would image that he did clear and scuff the candy first since it sounds like he knows what he's doin,I probably just forgot.I do have some Candy in red I've been wanting to try,thanks for the reply.Take care,Jim
