Description

Acrylic BC basecoat Candy Apple Red – transparent red in a 400 ml spray can.

Solvent-based paint of the Basecoat 1K (BCB) type. Our spray cans are filled with the same basecoat that we also supply to paint shops in tins.

Candy is a three-step paint system that requires a silver metallic or pearlescent basecoat, followed by the Candy effect layer and finally a clear coat for gloss and UV protection.

The spray can is fitted with a 360° adjustable nozzle with a flat “I”-shaped spray pattern for precise and even application. Stable pressure makes the spray easier to control, even on more demanding projects.

How Candy paints work

Candy paints are transparent effect colours. The final appearance is created by the combination of a metallic basecoat and the number of Candy layers applied. The colour saturation is controlled by the number of coats, creating a deep, glossy finish. Candy paint itself does not contain metallic or pearlescent particles – the sparkle and depth come from the metallic basecoat underneath.

Recommended basecoat: SilverTouch silver BC basecoat

Tip: Using a gold basecoat, SolarGold, gives the red a warmer tone and higher colour saturation.

Key benefits

  • Transparent effect – control the colour saturation with the number of coats
  • Rich, deep red – brilliant gloss and depth
  • Suitable for metal, plastic and wood – for interior and exterior use
  • Coverage approx. 0.9 m² with 2 coats – we recommend 3–4 thin coats
  • Professional adjustable nozzle – wide spray pattern and stable pressure
  • Also available for spray gun application – from 100 ml

The 400 ml spray can is ideal for DIY projects without a compressor. For larger surfaces, we recommend the spray gun version and final protection with a gloss 2K clear coat.

How to use the paint

Candy spray paint is applied as a 3-step paint system. The effect is normally created over a SilverTouch silver basecoat, followed by the transparent Candy colour layer and a final clear coat. For this shade, you can also use a SolarGold gold basecoat for an even warmer and more vibrant final effect. Each additional Candy coat increases the colour saturation and creates a deeper and more intense shade.

Before painting: Surface preparation

Sand, clean, remove any corrosion and degrease the surface thoroughly before applying the paint system.

How to prepare the surface

1. Silver or gold basecoat

Use SilverTouch in 2–3 thin coats as the standard basecoat. For an even warmer and more vibrant Candy effect, you can use the SolarGold gold basecoat instead.

2. Candy colour layer

Apply 3 or more thin coats. The number of coats determines the depth, saturation and intensity of the final shade.

Coverage: approx. 0.9 m² per 400 ml spray can with 2 coats

3. Clear coat

For the best Candy effect, a high-gloss 2K clear coat is the recommended choice.

Choose clear coat

Tip: Candy paint is transparent, so the basecoat has a strong influence on the final appearance. SilverTouch creates the standard Candy effect, while SolarGold gives the shade a warmer and even more vibrant character. The final colour saturation and depth also depend on the number of thin Candy coats applied.
