3 colors is a time consuming process but I think these are the nicest colors I have done yet. Candies are really hard to do, but I got lucky as this was my first time using candies. I must be getting better.
Step 1, gloss black, step 2 chrome, step 3 candy red.
Total time invested from strip down, media, powder, assemble 16 hours. Time was wasted, due to inexperience with these colors, so I took my time as too only do this once. I had to chase every hole with a tap since candy color gets in every small spot. While single stage powders dont. Its also alot of waiting for the powder to bake/cure. I have about 8 hours in time in the oven today. 3 colors means 40 min in the oven 3 different times, masking off 3 times. I think after I do a couple more I should be able to do this in 8 hours. I cant wait to perfect this color.
A nice new K horn with a smooth surface would really look good in these colors. But for a rough sand cast I think it still came out good.
Sorry for the crappy pics, I am too giddy to share these. Didn’t want to wait till tomorrow when I take good pics.
