Testing ALCLAD Candy Colors - Very Nice Results !!

Here I test a few Alclad candy colors. I did a massive candy test video some time ago but I didn't have any Alclad at the time to be included in that test. These performed a bit different from my other candy colors and also different from other Alclads but I do like the results and I can recommend just like the other Alclad paints

I bought two kits after seeing this. This paint is just what i needed. I was reluctant to get the Alclad despite the rage for it until I learned how easy it is to use. Thanks. Nice video

As a Note: Gold base Red candy method is actually called Candy Apple Red and looks amazing with Ruby Red and Electric Blue. Candy Apple has been around for a very long time and most modellers aren't aware of how it's done. Candy colors over Gold chrome or gloss gold produce the Apple brand. Try the Ruby Red over the Black chrome I haven't done that yet but might look like a deep blood.

I've been testing candy paints for my custom hot wheels and u sold me on this paint the coverage is amazing been trying out different brands just got in createx candy and currently waiting on the alclad candy to come in and can't wait. Love the videos thanks

Enjoyed the footage. If I may suggest a pedestal turntable to display the pieces to absorb the paint finish. Reason is as I am watching, the pieces are moving real real fast.

You also get an interesting result if you apply a base coat under the Silver Candy Base. Painted a coat of the Alclad Gloss Black base and then the Silver Candy base and got a much darker silver colour, more like the Black Chrome. Applying Candy over that gave a very deep almost black colour. Did it with the Candy Green and the result was a dark but glossy greenish-black colour. Like many of Alclads paints, the Candy Base isn't a fully opaque colour so you can influence the Candy coat with various colours of base coat.

Great video finally found it after watching so many others.

Nice... Yeah, very simular to Spitz. How much will it cost to do my old Vette...

The red candy and the two blues are fabulous; my favorite is the Indigo though. ridiculously nice job.

I sprayed the green. And turned out great. Really bright candy green. I was impressed

[mikec]

Looks great! Have you tried the red over the gloss black base?

[davidhahn]

Very thorough and informative, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience

I use the chrome over cheap Rustoleum gloss black. Not the aerosol as it gains texture as it dries, but the can paint mixed with reducer and thinned like skim milk sprays on like glass, dries fast over lacquer primer and does a great basecoat job for the chrome. Spray in many light as possible layers and the finish will really pop.

Try the candy over the gloss black base ? Looks very nice though.

I know this is an old post...but do you know if you can sand the candy before clear to get any imperfections out?

[borischan]

the chrome based ones are awesome. For the Golf, the last light blue one actually looks way more accurate to its spirit

def blue & red, thanks for the tests
