The only issue I’d raise is that other than Createx, I find it really tough to find the other products in the U.K. Maybe Simon Murray can help, but it would be great to have some advice on equivalent pre cleaners, tack rags etc. That’s not a complaint, more just asking for help.

Tape edges are still visible in the final finish, as its a test panel for a complete vehicle we're soon painting murdered ghosted candy. That project won't show tape-lines as Createx UVLS Clear will be applied over the graphics before the final top-coat 2k solvent-based urethane clear. Thank you.

Awesome. I have a fiber glass dashboard that is painted med silver grey metallic. I'm going to be hydrodipping it in black carbon fiber. I'm afraid that it will be too bright of a carbon print for me (lots of the metallic base paint will show through). am I able to mix a solvent clear coat and add a very small amount of compatible black base paint and spray it on to the dashboard to mute it, to make it darker in steps? Or would I need to spray a candy black, and add coats to get my desired effect?

@CreatexColors

3 жыл бұрын

The short answer is yes; water-based and solvent-based paints may be inter-coated, just not directly mixed. Allow each material to dry thoroughly before applying the next material type. For more, please email us at techsupport@createxcolors.com. Thank you.

This was a great demonstration, thank you! Do you have a video explaining how to eliminate the tape lines? Around 11:00 you can see the ridges left by each layer of taping. It is really noticeable in the sparkle green. Does the Candy Black and Clear just end up filling over that so it isn't noticeable anymore?

@CreatexColors

2 жыл бұрын

Cure times for water-based paints depend on temperature and relative humidity while the paint is drying. Use warm, moving air to speed up drying. The quickest time to tape is achieved by opening up re-coat times and allowing each coat to dry tack-free before applying the next coat. If in doubt, allow for more drying time. For more, please refer to the Hard-Surface Application Guide available at www.creatextech.com. Thank you.

question about the tape lines can you sand those out before clearing or will that ruin the paint job? im only asking because it looks like the tape is still on the flames

@CreatexColors

3 жыл бұрын

This was a demo panel. For an actual paintjob, apply an inter-coat before top-coat clear, or clear 2x. candy colors, including candy2o, are best not sanded direct as the scratch marks will show in the finish. Thank you.

How often do you sand between coats? And when would you recommend sanding between coats?

@CreatexColors

3 жыл бұрын

We don't recommend sanding candy2o for this technique. The 2k automotive clear is applied after the paint dries, without sanding. An inter-coat of 4050 UVLS Gloss could have been applied, which would hep hide the taped-graphic lines apparent in what's really a test panel (definitely apply an inter-coat and sand before the 2k clear for an actual paintjob). For more, please check out our Automotive Application Guide available at www.creatextech.com. Thank you.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the process with us. Some folks lightly wet sand right after the final black coat. Do you ever have to do that? I will say, those folks spray the black a lot wetter than you did, so maybe that's why they have to knock it back down.

How about a Murdered Out Ghosted Candy 'bird graphic on a Firebird hood? My car and hood are gloss black. 'Bird decals are awful. But a very discreet, custom painted graphic, which you've shown here can be achieved with black candy, I think, would look awesome. But to make it even more interesting, spray the bird using red-to-black hypershifting pearl's, mixed into black candy, then topped with black candy, to really murder it out. The ghosted bird would barely appear dark red, then quickly disappear as it shifts to black while you move past the hood.
