How to Spray Candy Paint with Spray Cans | Step by Step Tutorial
In this episode of the Tropical Glitz How-To Series, we walk through the complete process for spraying candy paint using aerosol cans. Starting with proper surface preparation, we demonstrate how to apply adhesion promoter, epoxy primer, metallic basecoat, candy layers, and 2K clear to achieve a deep custom finish. For this tutorial we use Comet Silver metallic basecoat followed by Loki Candy, a true transparent candy color that allows you to control the shade depending on how many coats you apply. Candy paints require patience and proper layering. This video explains the correct technique to build color depth without runs or uneven coverage. 🔧 Products Used • Surface Cleaner • Hornet Adhesion Promoter • Tropical Glitz Epoxy Primer • Comet Silver Metallic Basecoat • Loki Candy • Tropical Glitz 2K Clear Coat 🎨 Techniques Covered ✔ Surface prep using 600-grit scratch equivalent ✔ Adhesion promoter for plastics ✔ Epoxy primer application ✔ Metallic basecoat coverage techniques ✔ Candy paint layering process ✔ Building color depth with multiple coats ✔ Avoiding candy runs and sagging ✔ Proper flash times between coats ✔ 2K clear coat application Candy paint truly comes to life once the clear coat is applied, revealing the depth, color richness, and metallic reflection underneath.
