Is there a black candy paint?

If you have ever seen two black cars next to each other, then you realized that not all blacks are the same.  In fact, most paint formulas usually contain more than one shade of black as well as other colors like blue, red or yellow.  This is why in certain lighting, these cars can have the appearance of a brown, or "muddy" look to them.  But a true black is the absence of any other color.  House of Kolor black achieves the purest, deepest hue by using only the best pigments available.  To get a black candy paint look, these pigments are also ground to a finer state.  By doing this, it can absorb as much light as possible, and really project that candy black paint look.

How long does candy paint last?

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. 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. 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+. 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.

What is the difference in the 4 types of candy you offer?

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). In general the EKU Series is the deepest, wettest, look but most difficult to spray and repair. The KGC Series is the easiest to apply and repair but has a slightly different look than the EKU Series. The EKB series resembles the EKU series closely and is a better choice for taping and doing graphics than the EKU series. The EKK series is best used for tinting colors.

How much paint do I need?

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. Generally speaking a gallon kit of paint is enough for the outside and jambs of a small to medium sized vehicle. Larger vehicles or if you are painting more than the outside and jambs will require more paint. Quart kits are generally enough paint for motorcycles and golf carts. However, if you have a large motorcycle or golf cart with a lot of pieces you might need an additional quart kit.

Which clear should I use?

We highly recommend the UC-210 UreChem HS Glamour clear over candy. The UC-210 has been proven to offer more UV protection than most clears on the market which extends the life of the candy.

Which activator and reducer should I use?

The activator and reducer to select depends on the size of the vehicle or parts you are painting, the temperature, and your air movement. Generally speaking when painting a 30%+ of a car’s surface area at once you’ll want medium or “standard” reducer and activator as it is called for vehicle surface temps up to 85F. For temperatures above that slow is the better choice. Generally fast is only recommended for smaller areas in cooler temps.

Why are your products so much more affordable than big name brands?

Our unique sales and marketing strategy allows us to save substantial amounts of money by not hiring a national sales force to distribute our products. Furthermore, we do not have large marketing budgets based off exorbitant costs of race and show sponsorships.

How good is your product?

It’s excellent!

We conduct advanced testing on every coating to verify that it meets our standards for durability and wear. Our testing process utilizes expensive equipment that simulates several years of extreme weather. The weather is we simulate is very hard on paint: high heat and high humidity, wet freezing rain, and extended UV exposure. While our testing device can simulate 2 years of weather in just a few weeks, most paint companies don’t bother with this type of testing becasue of the effort and expense.

We’ve always believe the quality of our products will be the key to our success, and we’re proud to say we have thousands of 5-star reviews on both our website and our store on eBay.

Does this product meet local VOC requirements?

Local VOC (volatile organic compound) requirements can vary, so you should check local regulations before purchasing. We know there are some areas that require the use of a “low VOC” automotive paint, and we offer an extensive line of low VOC paints for customers in these areas.

What color is candy paint?

What exactly is candy paint? Candy paint, or sometimes Kandy paint, is a clear paint with translucent pigments in it. It is typically applied over a metallic base coat and allows the metal flakes to be seen through the tinted candy color layer.

What makes candy paint different?

Candy paint is a mid-coat type of paint that is always applied over a base color. Simply put, candy paint is basically a clear coat that is tinted with a color (and sometimes contains a metallic or pearl) to give it translucent properties. This is why you need to put a base coat down first before a candy paint.
