Re: Best way to shoot candy colors and clear
I fully cure basecoat as well. I have half cured base before, and got mixing of the 2 coats. SOme pieces I shoot hot, others cold. Pieces with alot of contours and hard to reach areas, shoot hot. alot easier to see.
Callmej, sounds like you are not applying enough powder. If you are trying for a real light candy coat, then you will have to shoot hot, and half cured, so the thin coat will flow into the base and be a smooth finish. I have had mixed success with this. It's also real easy to get shade variations throughout the part with a light coat. I put a diecent coat on all my candy works now. Customers are allways happy, and its real easy for me to match up in the future.
BTW, out of personal experience, Lolly Blue seems to be the hardest to get even shade for me, and really shows shade change with thickness. Lolly Purp and red are way easier IMO
