Candy Concentrates – Vanderslice True Color

True Color Candy Concentrate – Maximum Color. Total Control.

Create deep, transparent custom color with Vanderslice True Color Candy Concentrates. These highly concentrated automotive candy dyes are designed to be mixed into a compatible clear binder or carrier, giving custom painters control over color intensity, depth and layering.

Unlike our Ready-to-Spray Candy, this product is a concentrate and must be properly mixed before spraying.

⚠️ CANDY CONCENTRATE — NOT READY TO SPRAY

Recommended Starting Mix Ratio:
8 parts compatible clear binder/carrier : 1 part Candy Concentrate

The 8:1 ratio provides a strong starting point while maintaining the transparent characteristics that make candy finishes unique. Color intensity can be adjusted depending on the desired effect. Always prepare a test panel before spraying your final project.

Why Choose True Color Candy Concentrate?

• Highly Concentrated – A small amount delivers strong transparent color.

• Customizable Color Intensity – Control the depth and strength of your candy by adjusting your mixture and application.

• Transparent Candy Effect – Allows the underlying base, metallic or flake effect to show through the candy color.

• Buildable Color – Multiple properly applied coats allow you to gradually develop greater depth and intensity.

• Made for Custom Work – Excellent for custom automotive finishes, lowriders, motorcycles, bikes, helmets, artwork and specialty paint projects.

How to Mix & Apply

1. Shake the Candy Concentrate thoroughly before use.
2. Start with 8 parts compatible clear binder/carrier to 1 part Candy Concentrate.
3. Mix thoroughly.
4. Strain the mixed material before spraying when appropriate for your paint system.
5. Apply in controlled, even coats.
6. Allow proper flash time between coats.
7. Continue building coats until the desired color depth is achieved.
8. Finish with the appropriate automotive clearcoat system.

PRO TIP: Candy is transparent. Your base color directly affects the final appearance. Metallic silver, gold, flake and other custom bases can create dramatically different results beneath the same candy concentrate.

Always create a spray-out/test panel using your complete base, candy and clearcoat combination before committing to the final project.
