Candy Enamels:
Candy paints require candy base primer (Bright Silver Candy Base).
Bright Silver Candy Base:
Shake thoroughly before use. Do not thin. Surfaces must be completely clean. Apply 1 medium coat at 20-30PSI to clean bare plastic. Dry time 15-30 minutes. As the carrier evaporates the shine will develop. Allow to cure for 1 hour before coating with Alclad Candy Enamels. Avoid using in excessively damp or humid conditions. Finger marks on the bare plastic will appear in the final finish.
