Awesome Video Simon, info for anyone reading Simon gives top class service when buying products from him keep up the great work Simon Thanks for the videos
I have a metal chrome part that I'm wanting to make into a gold/bronze chrome part. Would I need some type of clear primer before spraying the chrome metal? Also like I said I want more of a bronze tent gold instead of a yellow tinted gold so is there a way to achieve that look? Clear coat after spraying I'm guessing?
Holy and moly ! Those turned out pretty nice , always liked candy , now candy chrome ,,,,,, unbelievable , I tinted my sealer on my carbon fiber spoiler and turned out stunting , You just entrusted me to a new lvl ty Do you have any diy candy chrome on carbon fiber ? Ty and keep up the nice work
Man I've been out of the loop for too long. This looks awesome Simon. I've got a life size R2D2 head to spray up to look like metal... will shoot an order over to you for some of this soon
I bought a pile of Createx candy and other Metallics along with spaz chrome kit. I’ll be painting Lexan rc bodies from the inside. I have 4040 and 4030 and normal reducer and fast reducer and some other brand of clear sealer… I know the candy needs to be pancaked with bleed checker before and after color layering to prevent bleed & blotch. I also know the chrome itself does not hold the same shine if clear coat direct over the chrome am I right? I noticed you didn’t use checker or sealer over the chrome prior to candy… did you seal the candy with anything prior to clear coat? Since I’m painting the RC body shells from the inside, I obviously do not need a clearcoat because the plastic has a shine of its own. But because I will be performing custom paint jobs in reverse order I wanted to ask if you had any practice with painting RC bodies and these paints. Because the first material to be laid onto the Lexan plastic is the candy color, and then chrome and then black. Now… Should I use a transparent sealer on the Lexan body before shooting the candy and will I also be using the bleed checker or sealer after the candy color right before spraying the Crome over the candy? I’m going to practice on glass or some other plastic first bcs this paint is expensive as you know lol and the rc bodies I have are $100+ each.
Great vid. I’m doing a helmet with multiple candy colors. I intended to mix 4040 bleed checker with all of my candies , would that be enough to stop any bleeding or would I need to spray 4040 directly over each candied area ? Thanks !!
What about metallic flake on top of the candy? What would i need to mix to do flake on top, or what combination would be good to get the same color saturation/reflection but also get some flake in there?
All I have is a 15 gal compressor... What's a good gun for a beginner... i want to anodize my motorcycle forks.... or is there a spray can version I could try ?
would this work on a 3d printer plastic material ? , and if if you wanna do som patterns on this you do that first or last and then gloss over ? with patterns i mean freehand something on there like letters or something like that in a different coulour ? great video thanks
Do you have a recommendation on how to apply a chrome finish to automotive components? Mainly grille and door handles. Trying to get my ride to conform to current trend of Impalas, Altimas, Hondas having shiny door handles and trunk lid strips.
Just a quick question I’ve watched many vids of yours and they got me into art, Anyway I am looking into spraying a motorcycle tank and never used top coat, when do I remove my mask from the gas cap once I have applied the clear coat! Luving the chrome that’s amazing,
Hey mate, been searching for black chrome vs black candy over chrome effects and you've done a killa job man!! Love your style of vids, very easy to watch!. Looking at your black chrome effect vs the black candy annodised effect - what would you say the difference is? The Black candy certainly looks to have a purple tinge or is that just the reflections? It's a bit hard to tell through the computer screen. Thanks again and keep killin those vids!! 🤙📽️🔝💯
You mention clearing them.... what clear do you use? I need a waterproof (not resistant) clear for my application and haven't found one that's all that compatible with quicksilver chrome yet.
Hello, why when you paint the color the reflection is blurred but later in the cut it looks much more reflective? Is it more reflective again when it dries?
Do you think this might work on 3D prints? The prints don’t tend to have a super-smooth surface, but I’m wondering if a thickish primer would smooth them out sufficiently to facilitate a shiny result?
What are those body shells called? I'm just getting into Airbrushing for RC bodies and I believe what you're using to demo these paints would suit my needs. Thanks
@@joeyalvarez3857 Thank you so much! I've been taking 20oz Coke bottles and cutting them up to test paints,now that I know what speed shapes are called maybe I can finally order some lol once again a big thanks!
I'm fairly new to painting and have been reading and watching for research. My question is if you're not supposed to scuff the surface how does the chrome and candy stick? Thanks in advance.
I have another question I thought I already asked along with my original one, but must've forgotten: Did you need to prep the speedshapes at all for the gloss black or is that also made to adhere without sanding/priming?
Remind people that the tape on your left arm is too keep the lint from getting blown off your sleeve and land on your paint job since the item painted is so close to your cloths. ….. it may seem far fetched to some of you watching but… to achieve PERFECTION you must create the PERFECT conditions or environment. All it takes is one tiny microscopic error to go from PERFECT to “oh that’s cool” anyone can get lucky doing something perfect but the real question is can you get it perfect every single time no matter what. I’m enjoying this video bcs it hasn’t made me cringe lol. Once a pan painter reaches a level of perfection, anything short of perfect is a nightmare lol.
I just bought a new Beretta gun. Slide is Stainless which I intend to polish to a mirror finish but, the frame is anodized aluminum that I want to shine like the slide. Will it work on the gun frame? Also looking at the colors I may do the frame in one of the blue colors but in any case the question still is will it work for a scratch resistant finish on the firearm ? I am in South Ms.. Do you know a place that will do it for me ? Hope you have time for this. Thanks
Yes our paint will stick to aluminum but I would recommend shooting some 6000 sealer clear first. Im afraid I dont know of anyone in your area who could do it for you.
Im very sorry I missed this! The Quicksilver will stick to just about anything but always do a tape test after you have applied it. Im afraid I dont know of anyone in your area who could do it for you.
I'm looking to do a set of forks for my motorcycle, and I am going to need to tape off where the triple tree clamps onto the forks because it is a very tight fit. How long should the paint cure be for I start removing the tape?
Ratio: candy2o 1:1 4030 Balancing Clear. 4104 Quicksilver Chrome and 4258 Gloss Black are applied out of the bottle without reduction. A 0.5mm airbrush tip-size is recommended with psi set somewhere between 25 - 30 psi, adjust as needed for your specific set-up
Hey, so I have an Airsoft M4A1, and I am planning on giving it a nice orange chrome look, just like the Atomic Alloy skin from CSGO. I have a mix of plastic and metal surfaces, will this work on both types? Also great tutorial btw.
sm designs airbrush Would you mix the 5092 with the gloss black and the silver and the candy or just before the gloss black. Where in the process would you spray the 5092? Also can you just mix it into the paint Instead of having it be it’s own coat
Hi Simon just wondering if there's a video how to clean out the candy out of your spray gun also how to clean out the waterborne sealers thank you very much
4012 High Performance Reducer works as a cleaner to rinse a spray-gun or airbrush of AutoBorne Sealers, candy2o, or anything mixed with 4030 Balancing Clear. Having some 4008 Restorer handy also helps www.autoaircolors.com/paints/4008.html
We just made a new video on how-to clean after painting with newer Auto Air Colors products such as AutoBorne Sealer, ua-cam.com/video/JBPh_ZhO5WY/v-deo.html.
I’ve seen people selling custom chromed lego bricks and ended up here lol anyways do you guys think this would be the same procedures on how they do it?
If the chrome is applied to plastic “knobs” and then handled will the finish get worn off? I’m trying to get the look of chrome knobs without the cost of actual metal!
As always, Simon Murray the absolute water borne paint go to man...and a super nice guy to top it off

Hey man i want to paint a brushed aluminum fuel door to look gold, if it’s already pretty reflective would I need to start with the gloss black paint?
Great vid. I’m doing a helmet with multiple candy colors. I intended to mix 4040 bleed checker with all of my candies , would that be enough to stop any bleeding or would I need to spray 4040 directly over each candied area ? Thanks !!
Really looking forward to using these mate.
can you use white spray paint for the primer or do you have to use black for better results of color?
Wil this work on headlight relflectors
Great video Simon .
Thank You!
What about metallic flake on top of the candy? What would i need to mix to do flake on top, or what combination would be good to get the same color saturation/reflection but also get some flake in there?
Looks stunning. Thanks for sharing

My God, this is great. I want to spray paint on my Sennheiser microphone. How can I do that sparkly effect?
Metal flakes
Basically adding glitter
We need a video on how you sprayed the black!
would this work on a 3d printer plastic material ? , and if if you wanna do som patterns on this you do that first or last and then gloss over ? with patterns i mean freehand something on there like letters or something like that in a different coulour ? great video thanks
yes it will work on 3d print however I would shoot a coat of UVLS 4050 first....and do the patterns first and then gloss over
Can you polish this out to get closer to a mirror finish before the candies?
Hi Matt. No I would not recommend trying to polish the quicksilver as it is a base coat and will not polish.
@@SMDesignsAirbrush I guess I meant buff. I know some "chrome"paints can be buffed a little to bring out a more mirror like reflection.
Do you have a recommendation on how to apply a chrome finish to automotive components? Mainly grille and door handles. Trying to get my ride to conform to current trend of Impalas, Altimas, Hondas having shiny door handles and trunk lid strips.
The methods I used in the video are the same as any automotive application. Just be sure to sand/prep the surface to be painted.
What clear coat did you use ? And is it airbrush ready or does it need to be thinned
How much would you charge to change my drums' lug casings and rims from chrome to gray chrome, the first one you did after the black coat?
Just a quick question I’ve watched many vids of yours and they got me into art,
Anyway I am looking into spraying a motorcycle tank and never used top coat, when do I remove my mask from the gas cap once I have applied the clear coat!
Luving the chrome that’s amazing,

Hello, why when you paint the color the reflection is blurred but later in the cut it looks much more reflective? Is it more reflective again when it dries?
Hi Abel, its more reflective when its clearcoated.
Thanks Simon! Good stuff for sure.
Thank You!
Do you think this might work on 3D prints? The prints don’t tend to have a super-smooth surface, but I’m wondering if a thickish primer would smooth them out sufficiently to facilitate a shiny result?
Hi Jesse. Impossible to say without seeing the surface but we do have clients that use our products straight over prints.
AutoBorne Sealer applies direct o 3-D printing plastics with excellent adhesion
There are some tricks about making 3d shits smoother, check that out
@@SMDesignsAirbrush plz contact nampar me iam Prasad from omam Muscat I want this paint please
But does it have to be smooth gloss black?
Its very important Lamar that the black is gloss and smooth.

Can we paint this on a plastic material(Gundam) and still get this amazing shiny effect?
Yes the paint will stick to just about any surface.

Any issues with your results from not reducing? Comparing differing information from the TDS and videos like these.
I'm fairly new to painting and have been reading and watching for research. My question is if you're not supposed to scuff the surface how does the chrome and candy stick? Thanks in advance.
The Quicksilver Chrome has been formulated to adhere to the surface without the need to sand, unlike most other paints.
Thank you I appreciate the help.
I have another question I thought I already asked along with my original one, but must've forgotten:
Did you need to prep the speedshapes at all for the gloss black or is that also made to adhere without sanding/priming?

I'm looking to do a set of forks for my motorcycle, and I am going to need to tape off where the triple tree clamps onto the forks because it is a very tight fit. How long should the paint cure be for I start removing the tape?
I would leave it at least overnight.
sm designs airbrush sounds great, thank you!
Fantastic explanation, thank You master!
My pleasure Jorge.
Thanks for this video Simon! Do you know if the Candy2.0's would work over silver nitrate spray / hydro chrome?
You should have no problems with adhesion.
What kind of clear Matt you said ? What's flash time for clear ??
SSR Matte, approx 15 min flash off.
How much do I need to spray a complete car?
Hello just a quick question:
Would there be any issues spraying candy2o on top of another brand/product of clear coat?
none whatsoever.
Thanks a bunch!
Is this coating conductive to the electrical current Thanks
Hello I want to use the candy paints but my tether car releases methanol. Does methanol wear the paint down and what clear coat should I use?
You will need to shoot a reputable 2pack clear-coat over any base paint.
Do you have bulk to do a whole car
Yes. If you follow the Airbrush Paint Direct link. Thanks!
He's been in the states a while but I can tell he's either north eastern European, or from maybe South Africa, or some remote area of Canada.
If I wanted to get this done professionally to my motorcycle any recommendations on a shop in Texas?
Llll

Where you buy the colors and clear you used ??
Follow the links below the video.
Wow! If only I could put one of those on my RC car!
What is the ratios, airbrush needle and air pressure if am using an Iwata Eclipse airbrush?
Ratio: candy2o 1:1 4030 Balancing Clear. 4104 Quicksilver Chrome and 4258 Gloss Black are applied out of the bottle without reduction. A 0.5mm airbrush tip-size is recommended with psi set somewhere between 25 - 30 psi, adjust as needed for your specific set-up
Thank you.
Hey, so I have an Airsoft M4A1, and I am planning on giving it a nice orange chrome look, just like the Atomic Alloy skin from CSGO. I have a mix of plastic and metal surfaces, will this work on both types? Also great tutorial btw.
Can I spray any kind of spray paint?
Scratch that!
How could you apply this process to RC Car and Truck painting since the coats would be done in reverse order?
Start with candy-chrome mix, then apply 6003 AutoBorne Sealer Grey as the backing color
CreatexColorsCo ... As in mix the candy and chrome, then spray??
Where can I find the quicksilver chrome paint
Hi Samuel. If you click the links below the video it will take you to our shop. Thanks.
Does anodized paint work on metal, and steel, like cars, mini bikes ?
Yes you can use our paints on any surface. Be sure to apply a self etching primer first if you are painting on bare metal. (mild steel)
sm designs airbrush what is a self etching primer? An do they sell it on the link?
Will it work on a wood cane?
Yes if it is non porous and gloss black.
What size needle are you using in this video it was hard to hear
And what PSI was your compressor set at
are these colors possible with just spray cans?
No they are in bottles only
how much would paint ? can i send you the item i wanna coler
Can you do this on leather shoes?
Its possible but not ideal, really intended more for hard surface, if you are going to try it I recommend spraying 5092 flexi adhesion promoter first.
sm designs airbrush Would you mix the 5092 with the gloss black and the silver and the candy or just before the gloss black. Where in the process would you spray the 5092? Also can you just mix it into the paint Instead of having it be it’s own coat
How many mnts between coats?
depends on conditions but typically 10-15 mins.
@@SMDesignsAirbrush thanks for the info sir
I would like to do gold chrome then lay my candy
Where do you get the mini car shells from?
how would I get a matt candy blue effect?

What clear coat you use in this work? Thank's!
MaxMayer 2 pack, high solid.
Thank's!

Are all your colors non porous?
I have a cylinder head that I want to anodize candy blue it goes on top of a cylinder on a ATV
should be fine
This work on iron or aluminum?

So how long did he wait to anodize the chrome 👀 till it dries ?
several hours after quicksilver applied before Candy application.
I’ve seen people selling custom chromed lego bricks and ended up here lol anyways do you guys think this would be the same procedures on how they do it?
I would imagine so.
no, probably vac metalised
Can you do this to a cool head it
Dave I dont understand your question.
Very cool. Kinda looks Like a satin finish
would this be ok 4 helmets
Perfect for helmets.
But steel is heavier than feathers
Is this possible on any material such as plastic, metal, or even poster board?
Yes Hugh. The quicksilver will stick to just about anything. The speed shapes Im painting in the video are un-sanded plastic.
If the chrome is applied to plastic “knobs” and then handled will the finish get worn off? I’m trying to get the look of chrome knobs without the cost of actual metal!
You will have to apply a clear-coat after the chrome.
