This was EXACTLY what I needed to see! Thank you SO MUCH for pacing that through the whole process and sharing such a great talent with the rest of the world! Well done!
Sounds like the orchestra from the movie, ‘Last of the Mohicans” when they were trying to get up the edge of the mountain to get away from “Magwa”. Love the soundtrack, but, love your painting better. Very nice, great Videos.
Fantastic job ole boy!! Just watched you for the first time and with your explanations of your process and steps I actually feel like I learned something!! Thanks 👍
I'm getting ready to paint a 69 gto this same color thank you so much for all the help and info plus all the part numbers for all the paint supplies that I will need
Beautiful ! I just bought the whole shebang from HOK. But I will have two more steps, as I am doing a marbleizer under the Candy, plus two coats of intercoat, and then a first clear with some flake, and then the final two coats of clear.
First off I would like to say that the work you did on the tank and fenders was awesome. I want to do the exact same color on my 98. But I want to do it over a Black metallic. To get that deep dark dark red so dark that at night it looks black. I was wondering if you had ever sprayed this color over Black metallic ?
Yes over black will give you the dark look you are looking for. You can also thin the KBC down and apply less of the red color. This will give you more black.
@@troykane I just finished painting a model car in a candy and basically the same thing happened to me, as well.. although, not with the edges, as I did those first but with the entire front bumper. I needed to paint it off the body, as other parts needed to be glued on after paint. Even though I did the same amount of coats, it came out a little bit lighter than the body. Guess my distance wasn't as close or I sprayed it lighter. I would love to paint full sized cars one day but man, the chance of errors stress me out at just the thought of it, haha.

What a great video. Thank you so much for taking the time. It takes a ton of time to not only shoot the video, but also edit it. Thank you for explaining the process. I believe I’m going candy apple red but I would imagine the process is the same?
LOVED THE COLOR! Someone else did "similar "....zte/apple red over black.... everyone was saying, nice... but do it over SILVER. (He seems to do Everything over flat black!) My dream car is a 70 Chevelle.... and THIS is THE Color I'd want!!! Black interior w/stitching to match the paint.... black, sliver, white pin striping!
I Love it w/the silver. Black interior.... I wouldn't want the outside so dark. I'd want the Sun to hit it.. and make everyone go WOOOW! Look @ that thing Sparkle & Shine!
Great video, I referenced this multiple times to paint a '78 Honda CB750 tank and side covers. Just completed 1 day ago. I used aerosol cans and it worked out great, have a few niggles(gnats) to sand out, and apply some decals before final coats of clear. BTW, I couldn't find the day after walk around?
Very Nice ----- I am hoping to use HOK on a project ------- Question ------ Can you explain a little about you shop there ----- what you use to get the Fumes out -------- Filters -------- and the big thing -- explosion proof lighting ------ Would appreciate it if you could talk a little on your set up ------ You explained the technic very well ------ really enjoyed the video ----- and I subscribed tonight ------- Hope you will talk a little on your shop ----- Hope you have a Good Week -------- Rodney
I have 2 fans thru the wall. I run all led lighting. I have never worried about explosion proof lighting even at my Dad's shop back in the seventies we had regular flourescent lighting.
TROY, very .very, good video !! Do you mind sharing with us the tip size and working air pressure; used to spray each product?? the ballpark would suffice; !!having this info cuts down on experimenting which= $$$; this stuff,s not cheap;thank you,Patrick.P
Question If I was to spray 2 colors or do artwork requiring masking on the Orion Silver, should I spray a coat of SG 100 to protect the silver as not to pull any metallic from the Orion Silver? Or just mask directly over the silver, spray candy, then pull the tape off the Orion Silver?. Thank you
Hey Troy..again I appreciate your videos..I was recently spraying silver sealer..I went to mix my kbc teal and it seeded...my question is when I get my new paint how to prep the silver sealer..scotch Brite have you ever had to come back and respray your ss01
Hi when you use your finish line with the brandywhine what pressure at the inlet to the gun. Do you use a variable volume or a tru pressure regulator. It was a great video i am doing a 55 pick up that color……thanks john g
Thanks for the great detailing on the process. I'm looking to spray this exact color on a dually and came across your video. Can't say how much I appreciate it.
This is by far my favorite color. Quick question, what about the underside of the fenders? How do you tackle them? I wrecked in 2013 and haven't been able to fix my bike since, (I have 4 kids, and being a disabled veteran it's a bit hard) either way whenever I get to it this is the color I am planning on using.
Great video. What do you do for the gas tank tunnel and the underside of the fenders? Also would black graphics show through the candy? Would you recommend a candy black? Thanks for the step by step.
Okay, I generally paint the tank tunnel and fender undersides a flat black. Second question, a straight black will shwo thru the Kandy. A Kandy black would be more like a Ghost Flame you would only see it in certain lighting conditions. Hope that was helpful. Thanks for the comment/question.
KBC is a Kandy Base Coat. It is not a single stage. Single stage would be color only, no clear coat required. Single stage colors are usually require a hardener. KBC is a Base Coat that emulates a true Kandy. Kandy base coat is easy to spray and easy to repair. Kandy concentrate over the silver is a true Kandy. Kandy itself is translucent, you can see thru it. So when Kandy concetrate is applied over a silver metalic base, the base provides the metalic effect. You are looking thru the Kandy at the metalic base. The base color will change the effect and color. The amount of coats of concentrate applied also change the color. Therefore overlap areas are darker than areas not overlapped. This is where the difficulty comes in. It takes a lot of practice to get an even color with a true Kandy. Also if you have to repair an area it can be difficult to match the color. Hope this was helpful to you.
Troy...Questions please. You might have said and if so, I totally missed it. 1. What size spray tip are you using here? I have a 1.7 but I can buy another one if needed. 2. What is the air pressure you are spraying with? 3. What is the cost of all the stuff you used in this video? I have a 2008 Goldwing that is the "black cherry" color and I want to repaint it. I am still pretty much a beginner on spraying, but I am learning and when I do spray, I am not racing thru it. Great video and I wrote everything down that you said on mixing. I need to go to your web site and look at all the other colors as I might just change the color of my Goldwing to something entirely different. Thank you again, Paul
Hi what is best products to use to maintain fresh new paint job I just had same color kandy put on my precious bike and what you recommend for give the protection and great shine to show quality ✨️
Troy approximately how much would I have too pay too have a candy brandywine over black paint job. Now the finished job is just like the 1967 Elenore mustang paint work . I want the major paint flip like that. What I'm having painted is the 1990 Harley Davidson FXRS SP TINS AND DASH .PLUS A SET OF SCALLOPED SIDE COVERS FROM FXR DIVISION.
Thanks, for the tips and techniques that you used in this video. Color is exactly what I was looking for!!! Painting a old school drag bike that touch up is just a manner of time…. But planning on taking it one step further with sand-wedge ghost flames between the two clear coats. Thanks again.....:)
Witch type model drag bike I got Classic Legend of all Motorcycle stock OG drag bike show Room Condition first prize winner 🏆 workmanship with same color 🖖🤟
Hi thanks for the video, I shall be repainting my 12 year old spy-racing quad panels soon to Renault candy apple or Mazda soul red. Do I need a lot of heat in the spray area please?
Great video. I am getting ready to paint a truck. Mixing instructions online say to use a catalyst with the kandy base but i see you didnt. Is the catalyst not necessary? Why does HOK say to use it?
Love ya videos ! Thank you ! Have liked and subscribed… let me ask you, I’m spraying brandy wine and was wanting to do gold leaf and the bike will have gold/brass details throughout the bike… what would happen if I used a gold sealer and or gold instead of the Orion silver? Is it doable? What would the end color look like? And if it’s all good , could you refer a house of kolor gold or whatever tint you suggest? Thanks a lot man
I wouldn't recoment going over gold for what you are doing. Using Brandywine and Gold accents gives you an excellent contrast of colors. If you spray over gold, it's going to muddy the Brandywine and make it look less red
Hi Troy, Love the video! I’m thinking of getting my Harley Tri Glide painted with this. I wanted some graphics done, and actually thinking of doing a “Marbleizing” done all over. Would I do a black sealer, then Orion Silver (with a slow reducer), then use plastic to get the marble texture… then cover 2-3 coats with the HOK KBC-01…. Then clear coat. What are your thoughts? I definitely want those metallics to help “pop” that color. Maybe a metallic added clear coat over the Brandywine first, Then full clear over all? Or will that Orion silver max be good enough? Your thoughts please? TIA. -Brett
Your plan sounds good. I would go easy with adding metallic. You can always add a little sparkle to an additional clear coat application if you want more. But, you can't go back if you over do it. Good Luck
I am not fussing, but yoou did not list the KBC01 Kandy Brandywine on your products listings at Amazon. Is it possible to list this please. I want to paint my Goldwing as you have done here. Thank you, Paul
The pot life is in hours. So for a three coat application one batch is good. If you allow your clear to dry and sand it for a recoat, then of course you would need a new batch. Good Luck!
@@troykane Thank you for responding quickly. When you say Recoat, is that what others are calling a Flow Coat? And is it a lighter and thinner coat. No one is explaining that method. I have not heard details of this process. I’ve always was in the understanding that sanding with 1500+ and buffing was the final step.
@@jamescaneda9515 Flow coating is a re-application of the clear coat. So sand the surface and re-clear the surface same as the first application. You can add additional reducer to the clear to get more "Flow". Thus "Flow Coating"
@@troykane Thanks, I really appreciate your quick response for information. Apply three coats clear, let cure, block sand with 1500+, apply quick clear coat but not a wet coat.
@@jamescaneda9515 I would use 1000 grit. Make sure your clear is dry. I'd give it a week. Sometimes you can have lifting problems if the clear isn't cured. Good Luck!
If you are using an HVLP gun I would spray at 25-30 PSI at the gauge on the gun inlet. Set it while you pull the trigger. This will give you 10-14 psi at the air cap. Good Luck
Great video Troy, the paint job looked great. You said if you spray over black it would look like black cherry, is that the way to do a black cherry like back in the day? You can't find anyone that really knows how to do a black cherry paint anymore. Thanks for the video and any info you can give me. BTW I dabble in paint in my garage, use to paint trucks at GM so I have some basics, Thanks again.
Do you have any tips or tricks for cleaning the guns? How to use minimal thinner to clean or possibly reuse the lacquer thinner for cleaning. Or is it something you just use once and purchase in bulk?
You can't completely reuse the thinner. But you can conserve. Use a small amount to wash the gun first time. Use that batch to clean the mixing cup too. That batch is to be thrown away (properly). Then the next couple batches can be saved as it won't be too dirty. Use your own discretion. I usually keep some in a container with my paint sticks. Also use this gun cleaner. The Naked Gun amzn.to/3Rqre1h This stuff is great. Good luck.
I’m hoping you are still reading coments because having a problem covering a scrape in my 68 Vette hatch, We used glazing putty and sanding it smooth with 400 grit. but it still shows up.
Make sure it's a scrape not a crack. A crack you need to use fiberglass from both sides. If is just a scrape, prime the area with Evercoat Featherfill. Allow to dry and block sanding should take care of it. good luck
Good question. If you want the factory cleared over look. I would apply SG100 intercoat clear over the final color. Then apply the decals. Then apply clear. Sand and apply second application of clear.
I am so inspired! I really want to attempt this color! It is phenominal. When you are letting it dry between coats will waiting longer affect color? I just love this outcome thanks for sharing!

Thanks! Go For IT!
Troy I love watching you dude. Keep it up!
Wish i could see this with a gold base..The flow coat was the last coat or after wet sand?
After I wet sanded it
yes....600 grit

I don't think I heard you say what the mixing ratio was for the base coat and what did you mix the base coat with
Base Coat is 2:1 ratio. Mixed with Ru310, Ru311 whatever temperature is appropriate.

My dream car is a 70 Chevelle.... and THIS is THE Color I'd want!!! Black interior w/stitching to match the paint.... black, sliver, white pin striping!
Over black makes it darker. Like Black Cherry. You can spray it over White too. That will make it lighter. But the silver gives it a sparkle 😎

It will be over kill this is specific for motorcycle only not for cars GM you may want put something more brighter and follow up with stripes

Hi when you use your finish line with the brandywhine what pressure at the inlet to the gun. Do you use a variable volume or a tru pressure regulator. It was a great video i am doing a 55 pick up that color……thanks john g
True pressure at about 35 psi

Yes absolutely! It will make it a Dark Cherry Color
Good job!!!

Really good in-depth video I just subscribed also

really late but I was wondering if instead of using orion silver I could use Galaxy Gray which is a HOK color as well.

I wish ghost flames could be done using black cherry, then finishing up with kandy brandywine
Black Pearl over the silver base. Then Kandy over the top.
They could
Just use a different base underneath
Like a darker or lighter color for the flames/artwork
Then shoot the candy

Please can you tell me how the KBC01 factory pack single stage base coat compares to the silver base and brandywine concentrate over the top?
KBC is a Kandy Base Coat. It is not a single stage. Single stage would be color only, no clear coat required. Single stage colors are usually require a hardener. KBC is a Base Coat that emulates a true Kandy. Kandy base coat is easy to spray and easy to repair. Kandy concentrate over the silver is a true Kandy.

Therefore overlap areas are darker than areas not overlapped. This is where the difficulty comes in. It takes a lot of practice to get an even color with a true Kandy. Also if you have to repair an area it can be difficult to match the color. Hope this was helpful to you.
Loved watching it, getting ready to have my 1948 jeep willies overland panel done in that color, would like your opinion on that .😅
That's a lot of Kandy! It will be pricey, but pretty.

Nice work..just curious why they recommend 3 coats of sealer?
Rule of thumb is 2-3 coats. You need at least 2 for coverage. three to be sure.
Great presentation, I love it. Question! Between clear coats what’s the Pot life or do have to mix a new batch every time??
The pot life is in hours. So for a three coat application one batch is good. If you allow your clear to dry and sand it for a recoat, then of course you would need a new batch. Good Luck!
@@troykane Thank you for responding quickly. When you say Recoat, is that what others are calling a Flow Coat? And is it a lighter and thinner coat. No one is explaining that method. I have not heard details of this process. I’ve always was in the understanding that sanding with 1500+ and buffing was the final step.
@@jamescaneda9515 Flow coating is a re-application of the clear coat. So sand the surface and re-clear the surface same as the first application. You can add additional reducer to the clear to get more "Flow". Thus "Flow Coating"
@@troykane Thanks, I really appreciate your quick response for information. Apply three coats clear, let cure, block sand with 1500+, apply quick clear coat but not a wet coat.
@@jamescaneda9515 I would use 1000 grit. Make sure your clear is dry. I'd give it a week. Sometimes you can have lifting problems if the clear isn't cured. Good Luck!
What's a good psi while spraying this process
If you are using an HVLP gun I would spray at 25-30 PSI at the gauge on the gun inlet. Set it while you pull the trigger. This will give you 10-14 psi at the air cap. Good Luck
Love the video! What was the Primer you used?
I use House Of Kolor Kd3000 series primers. Thanks for the comment and good luck
Great video Troy, the paint job looked great. You said if you spray over black it would look like black cherry, is that the way to do a black cherry like back in the day? You can't find anyone that really knows how to do a black cherry paint anymore. Thanks for the video and any info you can give me. BTW I dabble in paint in my garage, use to paint trucks at GM so I have some basics, Thanks again.
That is one way. Or you can use a darker Kandy Color. Kandy Concentrate darkens with each coat.
How much of each product did you use? Especially the Kandy? I'm building my cart and not sure how much Kandy paint I need
No more than a quart. You may get away with a pint of the base and kandy. Good Luck
Waiting 2 weeks to polish and buff is a new one for me. The other ones I've seen say 24 hrs is doable for that. Not sure though
You can polish it after 24 hours. The longer you wait the better.
Do you have any tips or tricks for cleaning the guns? How to use minimal thinner to clean or possibly reuse the lacquer thinner for cleaning. Or is it something you just use once and purchase in bulk?
You can't completely reuse the thinner. But you can conserve. Use a small amount to wash the gun first time. Use that batch to clean the mixing cup too. That batch is to be thrown away (properly). Then the next couple batches can be saved as it won't be too dirty. Use your own discretion. I usually keep some in a container with my paint sticks. Also use this gun cleaner.

This stuff is great. Good luck.
@@troykane I appreciate the info. Thank you.
I’m hoping you are still reading coments because having a problem covering a scrape in my 68 Vette hatch, We used glazing putty and sanding it smooth with 400 grit. but it still shows up.
Make sure it's a scrape not a crack. A crack you need to use fiberglass from both sides. If is just a scrape, prime the area with Evercoat Featherfill. Allow to dry and block sanding should take care of it. good luck
This was a very informative video, just wondering what step you would have taking if you wanted to add factory vinyl decals to the tank?
Good question. If you want the factory cleared over look. I would apply SG100 intercoat clear over the final color. Then apply the decals. Then apply clear. Sand and apply second application of clear.
I love that color!! Have you ever used a different color base coat flat white or gold? Would be awesome to see the final product in sunlight 🙏
I have in the past. Can't go wrong with HOK
That color is cool, TE 20 air cap from silver to clear ??
Yes!
What size fluid tip and air cap are you using on the tekna. My DV1 is 1.3 and my DV1C is 1.3 would that work alright
Yes that will work fine. Good Luck
I am so inspired! I really want to attempt this color! It is phenominal. When you are letting it dry between coats will waiting longer affect color? I just love this outcome thanks for sharing!
Good Luck! Glad I could help
What’s the difference between using silver or black before spraying the brandy base?
