Painting, Backing Candy colours
When backing a candy colour, do I completely paint the backing silver?
|
After laying a smooth coat of candy paint, yes, back it with silver.
Make sure to let it fully dry between coats. -Troy |
You can use silver,gold,or even a solid opaque color. Experiment on scrap lexan and you`ll be suprised at what colors you can come up with.

I sometimes use different levels of thickness when I use a silver backing. I will go sort of heavy when I want a solid backing or light when I want a sort of see through finish.

Originally posted by STLNLST I sometimes use different levels of thickness when I use a silver backing.

Another thing to remeber when using candy colors is that the depth or thickness of the candy coat will determine what shade the candy comes out. I love candy blue with about 4 fog coats. If you time it right, on the last coat you can giove it just a little more than a fog, but not enough to run and it will make all of the coats lay down quite smooth. Unfortunately, there's quite a bit of practice and timing involved... STLNLST, you never sent me pics of the body!!! :cry: :flaming: L8r doodz |
Thanks again, I'm learning more and more.
