Which activator and reducer should I use? The UC-210 has been proven to offer more UV protection than most clears on the market which extends the life of the candy. We highly recommend the UC-210 UreChem HS Glamour clear over candy. However, if you have a large motorcycle or golf cart with a lot of pieces you might need an additional quart kit. Quart kits are generally enough paint for motorcycles and golf carts. Larger vehicles or if you are painting more than the outside and jambs will require more paint. Generally speaking a gallon kit of paint is enough for the outside and jambs of a small to medium sized vehicle. The amount of paint you will need depends on a lot of factors including the size of the vehicle you are painting, how much of the vehicle you are painting, which color you use, your spray equipment, and the technique and skill of your painter.
#COLOR CANDY APPLE RED SERIES#
The EKK series is best used for tinting colors. The EKB series resembles the EKU series closely and is a better choice for taping and doing graphics than the EKU series. The KGC Series is the easiest to apply and repair but has a slightly different look than the EKU Series. In general the EKU Series is the deepest, wettest, look but most difficult to spray and repair. We offer candy in four forms 2K urethane candy (EKU Series), Candy Basecoat (EKB Series), Pearlized Candy Basecoat (KGC Series), and Candy Dye Concentrates (EKK Series). What is the difference in the 4 types of candy you offer? If you are concerned about the longevity of candy paints you might consider some of our transparent 3 stage pearl and metallic finishes that have the look of candy with excellent durability.

Vehicles that spend all day, every day in the sun can fade substantially over a 2-3 year period whereas many show vehicles that are garage kept and used for shows and cruising will last for 5-10 years+. The longevity depends on the amount of candy applied, which and how much clear is used, and how much time the vehicle spends outside in the sun. True candy paints like our EyeKandy candy paints are made from dyes which provide a deeper, richer color than normal automotive paints but typically fade faster than our traditional solid, metallic, and pearlescent colors. WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer. These products are designed for use by professionally trained autobody painters with proper personal protective equipment (PPE) in an approved spray booth and are not recommended for at home or "do it yourself" type applications. NOTE: Automotive paints, such as those represented on this site, can be hazardous to your health, and as such, require specialized equipment and training to use properly and safely. For more info about the various types of candy visit our candy paint explainer page. Pearlized Candy Basecoat colors represent a combination of dyes and/or ultra-transparent pigments and select pearl pigments to give a candy effect that is easier to apply and repair. You can purchase primer and sealer over here: primers and sealers. UreChem sealer is the most popular ground coat for this type of candy. The ground coat can be a uniform coat of UreChem 2K urethane primer, sealer, or base coat. True candy paints are transparent by design so changing the color underneath (called the ground coat) will change the final look. This photo of Pearlized Candy Basecoat is shown over our white sealer.

Use the kit builder options above to purchase this pearlized candy base coat color in many options ranging from a quart of paint by itself to kits with clear, activators, and reducers.
