I just started painting again, you tube is great place to get information, some good some not so good , chris is very knowledgeable and sharp I really appreciate his teaching
thank you
Cool your video just solved a problem for me. My daughter asked if she buys a car would I paint it shiny for her. I said take your brother with you, a mechanic, she said OK. Well she came home and has stuck me with painting a honda. These things have the personality of a dead field mouse. Anyway I've got it in mother of pearl base and now she wants lace. I didn't want to spray black. The difference you show is just what I need to give her her lace and not break the colors going on. I'll do the darker one for through the lace and lay plane candy over it all. The chrome is all out getting copper plated. Thanks folks I've got to place an order tomorrow.
That end result is hot! Turned out beautifully. I think the key to my spray work on the small projects that I do it’s going to be mixing and patients in between coats. It’s very easy for me to get excited and rush through a job wanting gorgeous results!
have fun and try to paint with a little patience when it comes to drying times. thanks for watching!
Nice! I just painted my first motorcycle fairing in a 2 tone. One color was Sparklescent Midnight Blue, Deep Purple Candy2o, with white and blue Hot Rod Sparkle. It’s beautiful and had an amazing color flop. Other color was the famous Porsches candy pearl blue base coat. Currently editing the vid of it for my channel and hope to post this week yet! Love ur amazing products 🤘🏻
Excellent, please send us a link to your video when its up. Thank you.

I’m loving that bottom right cosmic sparkle green + emerald candy over the silver base. I’m now planning on using this on my next project. Thanks for making these videos and showcasing different mixes.
You're welcome, thank you for watching.
Love your products I did a blood red on one of my RC Trucks looks killer
thanks for such a great product and the how to videos saved me as I've never used a air brush
THANKS
Looks really nice. If i had money ill make my phone look like this on the back. Ill have the flashiest phone
this is super cool man -- couple Q's again
1) what is your gun choice and pressure on these?

Beautiful man, great work!!!
Thank you for watching!
I need the hot rod sparkle with the black🔥👍🏼 looks amazing good job👍🏼
For Hot Rod Sparkle Colors, please visit our Wicked Colors pearl-flakes pages, wickedairbrushcolors.com/pearl-flakes. Thank you.
I need me some of that sparkle and pearl LOL. Good job on the demo.
Mike's Brush love your vids...but question....would you paint an entire car with this paint? Just one color....candy or metalic or whatever...not all the graphics and artwork

thank you
@@mikek4610 Yes you can, needs at least a 2k Clearcoat overtop to be durable enough for vehicles.
Loving the HotRod sparkle over the dark,it seems to jump a bit more.Cheers Chris
Agreed, Hot Rod Sparkle is a great pearl to mix with candy2o. Thanks for watching!
Gonna be doing this to my bike in a couple weeks. I’m super excited!
Very nice!!!
Thanks for satisfying my curiosity.
I know we're 2 get those shirts stay safe
Gonna purchase
This is an amazing video. As someone who's contemplating having my car painted this video shows exactly what I'm looking for to determine how I want my car done. If this video could be done in candy apple red, it would ultimately show me exactly what I want done. Where are you located?
We're located in East Granby, CT. Thanks for watching.
The silver is like a matallic and the black is a matte. I would like to see the black base in a matallic and or pearl. Idk if there is such a thing as a matallic pearl combination pain as well. I preferr the smaller flake as it is more subtle.
Please tilt the panel a little more, a little longer?, out doors so we can see the color from different angles.
I would love to see and appreciate a demo if ever you have the time.
Thank you for your replies. Just starting out. 🙂
Thanks for the feedback. We'll do a candy value video in the future, showing what a base of Pearl Black vs. Silver vs. Metallic White does to the same candy2o color. A metallic is more of an aluminum flake, silver & earth-toned whereas a pearlescent is usually mother-of-white pearl tinted with various hues to make a pearl color. Applying a pearl or metallic over a black vs. white base further effects their value. Thank you.
@@CreatexColors Awasome. Look forward to it. Thank you.
That cosmic sparkle is my favourite
its a great, refined pearl that still can be used with a PPS Cups strainer, excellent for mixing with candy2o colors! thanks
I wonder what happens if you were to do one cosmic candy coat, and then 3 hot rod coats. I wonder if they would add another dimension.
Please make a test panel and share with us the results. Thanks!
So let me see if I get this right... 1st lay down a silver/black pearl layer, 2nd is candy color, 3rd is bleed checker and 4th is gloss?
4040 Bleed Checker isn't required when applying a 2k solvent-based urethane gloss clear over candy2o. 4040 Bleed Checker is for application over candy2o when airbrushing graphics over a candy2o base before applying the 2k clear. Thank you.
Nice
Gracias
maybe you could answer this for me. a few questions (1.) if using black epoxy primer if I just clearcoat it then its UV stable right?? (2.) I want to put some metal flake and pearl in the paint job should I lay down some 2 coats epoxy with no flake then just 1 top coat of epoxy with flake an pearl in and then 3 coats clearcoat over the epoxy , or do my 3 coats of epoxy then a coat of clear with metal flake an pearl and then 2 coats of clearcoat over that??
And it is just for my front and rear differentials, driveshafts, and springs and I have epoxy and clearcoat in stock and need to save some money an hoping to not have to buy more paint.. thanks and thank for sharing
Createx paints are compatible with epoxy primers, paints and clears. Please refer to our Automotive & Hard-Surface Application Guide available at www.creatextech.com, and make a few test panels trying out your technique using epoxy clears. Thank you.
Would you recommend the same mix ratios when using an Iwata HP-TH? also what air pressure to spray at?
Thanks
With a TH, the mix ratio may need a bit more extension with 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear and thinning with 4011 Reducer. A test panel will help dial in your mix ratio. Thank you.
This video was perfect you would not believe I’ve been going out of my mind with the color green trying to find the perfect color for my car .. is it possible to speak to you to get a full kit of everything I need for the hot rod dark color
For assistance ordering all the right materials in correct amounts, please email us at info@createxcolors.com. Thank you.
Hey great video - just wondering what 40-50 is compared to standard 2k clear?
4050 is the Gloss Clear in our UVLS Clears, which are 1k acrylic-urethane clears best used as an outdoor clear for sign, sculpture, etc., www.uvlsclears.com. A 2k clear is still recommended for automotive and water submersion. Thank you.
Chris, Can you shoot hot rod sparkle with a 1.3 gun or do you need something bigger? I saw you using PPS, do you have to tear the filter out of the cap for Hot Rod Sparkle? Thx!
Hot Rod Sparkle can be sprayed with a 1.3mm tip-sized gun. Remove the filter when spraying Hot Rod Sparkle, Createx's largest pearl-flake. Best application is mixing Hot Rod Sparkle with 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear (HRS 3:1 4050, thin 10% per vol. 4011 Reducer). Thank you.
👍🏼
weird question, just painted a test panel with metallic synergy green and then added green flake on top. the flake turned out weird where it looks like dark spots until directly in the sun... would it be because of using a 1.4 tip and its not shooting out enough or is it just the wrong colour flake and looks off?
We're not familiar with metallic synergy green? what type of paint? what tip-size does that color's tech sheet spec? thanks
@@CreatexColors it’s the colour they use for the green camaro now and it’s just a motobase metallic. Because of my lack of Knowledge I don’t know what the flake size is and I think that’s where the problem is as the base looked great
Do you have to have a silver or black base to add a sparkle candy color ??
Our silver base / ground coat for candy2o is 6013 Silver Sealer, www.autoborne.com, and W300 Wicked Pearl Black, wickedairbrushcolors.com/pearl-and-metallic, applied over 6002 Sealer Black, works as a black pearl-effect base. For directly mixing with candy2o, W440 Cosmic Sparkle Silver works well,wickedairbrushcolors.com/pearl-flakes. For a black pearl to mix with candy2o, W300 Pearl Black is the best option. Thank you.
With that super wide fan I'd say only 2 passes will do. Another subject, I still have several qts of Metal Flake brand lacquers flip-flop, candy and flake never opened. Has to be over 35+ years.
Great videos! Thanks... could hotrod sparkle white be mixed into my candy dirttrack/cosmic copper mix for added sparkle effect?
Yes. Any Cosmic Sparkle or Hot Rod Sparkle Color can be mixed with candy20. Hot Rod Sparkle White is actually a clear pearl-flake that color-keys well with any candy20 color, and has excellent pearl effect. Thank you.
Good stuff
thanks, appreciate that
Love these videos! 💪🏻 Any recommendations for a medium/full size gun that isn't to hungry on air? Especially for the sealers but all-around is welcome too! Love my LPH 80 but it is a little dinky for some of my projects.
Iwata spray-guns are fairly low on the air volume (CFM) required, at least compared to most other known brands of spray-guns. If you're set-up & compressor is having a hard time running an LPH-80, the better solution may be investing in a bigger air compressor and hoses with high-volume air fittings. Thank you.
CreatexColorsCo Thanks for you reply! My compressor is rated at 280 L/Min so my LPH 80 no is running with no problem whatsoever.. I just seem to find that most full size guns are running at about 280 L/Min it more. And I would like a little more buffer than that. How is the BellAria for Autoborne sealers?
Keep on rocking! 💪🏻
We use the Iwata W400 with the LV-WBX 1.3mm tip for most Createx paints, including AutoBorne Sealers. For candy2o and UVLS Clears, a 1.3mm LV2 cap is used for the W400. As the Bella Aria isn't available in the U.S., we're not using that cap too much although it does work well. Thank you.
hello, very nice work. i want to paint my dodge ram 1500 in dark green candy. many say with a silver base but I would like to have a dark green effect. have already tested I would have to paint 4-6 layers of candy. What if I use black as a base or black brilliant black crystal pearl. pxr or black base and silver fog above. Gr. fr. germany
candy20 Emerald Green looks great over a variety of metallic bases, including Wicked W359 Metallic Charcoal which creates a deep, dark value green that is simply gorgeous. Thanks. wickedairbrushcolors.com/pearl-and-metallic
I’m trying to match a Harley tri-coat paint (glacier white pearl). It looks like it has a silver and a blue pearl in it as the tri-coat. What would happen if I mix cosmic sparkle silver and cosmic sparkle blue to spray over the base color (white)?
It be a mini pearl-flake of silver & blue with mostly the white showing through as Cosmic Sparkle Colors are pearl-flakes in a transparent base through which the base color is very visible. Try a test panel comparing the effect between a white, black or even silver base (6013 Silver Sealer). Thank you.
@@CreatexColors awesome! I believe that is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much! You guys are awesome and my favorite CZcams channel!
Can I spray candy Brandywine over silver.. then spray a pearl bright red on top of brandywine
Spraying one of the Cosmic Sparkle or Hot Rod Sparkle Colors will work. wickedairbrushcolors.com/pearl-flakes
These are pearl-flakes in a transparent base, so they won't cover or "muddy" the underlying candy, while providing a candy - pearl effect. Please read the candy20 tech date sheet, available at www.candy2o.com, and make a test panel before an actual paintjob. Thank you.
Beautiful. May try this , I think I have to reduce 25% with 4050 for an Airbrush (TH2 .5 nozzle) if I remember correctly.
Also did you clear with 2k or 4050 ?
Thinning 4050 25% per volume with 4011 Reducer for use with a TH2 (0.6mm) could work, however it seems a bit excessive, ~ 5 - 10% per volume works well when applying 4050 as a clear with TH2; when mixed with candy2o, the 4050 + candy2o mix shouldn't require any thinning, maybe 5% per volume at the most. Thank you.
A 2k solvent-based, urethane clear was used as the top-coat for this hood. Thank you.
The joker is gonna be jealous!
IF I WEREN'T CRAZY I'D BE INSANE!
Where can I buy cosmic sparkle and hotrod sparkle ? I can’t find a distributor in my area
You may wish to try Spray Gunner, spraygunner.com/search.php?search_query=hot%20rod%20sparkle§ion=product. Thank you.
@@CreatexColors thank you very much! A lot of it is out of stock. Is the line being discontinued?
Hot Rod Sparkle and Cosmic Sparkle Colors are part of the Wicked Pearl-Flake Colors, wickedairbrushcolors.com/pearl-flakes. Thank you.
Which color hotrod and cosmic sparkle did you use?
4050 Hot Rod Sparkle green and 4525 Cosmic Sparkle Green. Thank you.
CreatexColorsCo I haven’t purchased any of those and I’m assuming that just the flakes are colored suspends in a clear carrier. Is that right? So using say green cosmic in blue candy2o could give me a blue green color shift.
Yes, Hot Rod and Cosmic Sparkle Colors are a colored-pearl flake suspended in a clear carrier. Thank you.
Where do you get the small bonnet from?
minihoods.com, thanks
