Candy Magenta

Introducing Vanderslice Candy Magenta, a premium, high-impact candy color engineered to deliver exceptional depth, brilliance, and clarity. This vibrant magenta strikes the perfect balance between rich red and bold pink tones, creating a luxurious, eye-catching finish that commands attention. Designed for professionals and serious enthusiasts alike, Candy Magenta offers smooth application, predictable color build, and true show-quality results.

Professional Formulation & Application
Vanderslice Candy Magenta is formulated as an intercoat candy, allowing for superior control, even coverage, and excellent consistency from panel to panel. It sprays clean, lays out smooth, and minimizes streaking or mottling when applied correctly. This makes it ideal for full resprays, custom panels, motorcycles, helmets, and high-end accent work.

Mixing & Compatibility
Candy Magenta mixes at a 1:1 ratio with reducer and performs exceptionally well when paired with our XPrime Premium Grade Reducer. This pairing enhances flow, atomization, and leveling, helping the candy lay down evenly while maintaining clarity and gloss throughout the process. Suitable for use in both professional spray booths and controlled home shop environments.

Color Control & Build
One of the defining characteristics of a true candy is its ability to build color gradually—and Candy Magenta excels here. Each additional coat deepens and darkens the color, allowing you to dial in the exact tone you want, from a bright, lively magenta to a deep, rich jewel-like finish. This progressive color build gives painters full creative control while maintaining uniform transparency.

Basecoat Recommendations
For best results and maximum visual impact, apply Candy Magenta over a silver, fine metallic, micro-flake, or standard flake basecoat. The reflective base enhances light refraction, producing that signature candy glow and depth that high-end custom finishes are known for.

Finish & Visual Impact
The end result is a wet-looking, high-gloss finish with exceptional depth and luminosity. Under sunlight or show lighting, Candy Magenta comes alive—delivering vibrant color, rich saturation, and a smooth, glass-like appearance that turns heads from every angle.

Formula Options

Regular Formula
Our standard industry-grade candy formula uses the traditional balance of dyes and toners to achieve classic candy transparency, smooth color build, and long-standing reliability trusted by professional painters.

50% Tint Boost Option
For those looking to achieve full color faster, we offer a 50% Tint Boost option, which includes increased dye and toner content. This allows you to reach your desired depth in fewer coats—saving time, material, and labor—while maintaining the clarity and brilliance expected from a premium candy finish. Available for a small additional charge.
