We recommend to add these concentrates to automotive clearcoats, to get ready-to-use Candy topcoats.

Some customers are used to mix the concentrates to transparent mono-component binders (Available in our section TOPCOAT), as it makes it easier to apply the Candy. One has to take into account that topcoats are more transluscent than binders.

Concentrated candy for chrome C24-C25-C26-C27-C28

these transparent candy tints are exclusively intended for coloring metals with a mirror effect, such as hard chrome, silvering, polished aluminum and all other polished metals.
The use can be artistic, or for car rims, or for bathroom accessories for example.
These colors are designed to reproduce the subtle appearance of certain gold, copper, bronze, brass or "Rose Gold" metals.
The dosage of the ink is between 1 and 2% in a varnish specially adapted for hanging on chrome or polished metals, will give variable colors depending on the number of layers and the concentration.
These inks are not intended for chrome paint.

How to achieve a darker effect:


two choices :

1 - apply more layers of "Candy": beyond 5 layers, the result is very dark.

2 - apply less pearlescent, sequined or metallic undercoat, so that the black background is always a little visible
