Never heard of any problems doing this, plus it's nice for the painter to work with a clear they're familiar with. I talked to a few painters who have used HOK bases with PPG and Dupont clears. PPG clearcoat worked fine, with PPG primer beneath. The KBC was sprayed with a touch-up gun (good gun was broken), and it still didn't show any signs of the blotching or tiger stripes I've seen on some real candy jobs. But over a consistent sealer color, there is little color difference between 4 and 5 coats. KBC isn't totally opaque, so the sealer color makes a difference (I used black and silver). It should take about the same skill as laying down any of the latest high-pearl factory colors. The idea with the KBC line is that the finished job looks like a real candy, but it's actually applied like a base/clear. I agonize over these things, so I bought a pint and had a painter buddy spray a fender with combinations of two sealer colors and 3,4,and 5 coats of KBC. I'm contemplating their Kandy Basecoat (KBC) for one of my cars. The car sat outside for a few years, when it wasn't in a garage (unattached), so it really WASN'T pampered! The bodywork underneath is beginning to go bad before the paint. I painted my 55 Olds in Candy Cobalt blue almost 20 years ago, and it still looks pretty good. AND the HOK looks much better, as it uses a real silver or gold metallic base, instead of a red pearl base.more glitter = more better. I priced out painting a 66 GTO with Ford's version of Candy Apple Red (I think it was called electric red) in Dupont paint and it was actually more expensive than using HOK's REAL Candy Red. It really isn't that expensive, either, anymore. There are also lots of tricks you can do to make you paint different form any one else's. Color choices are almost unlimited, due to mixing base coats, pearls, and topping with candies, flip-flop, etc. I liked the 'old' clear more than the new one (UC-35), but I got used to the new one. Very durable, easy to use (technically), and looks great. The typical method for producing a candy apple finish is to apply a metallic base-coat, followed by a translucent color coat.I've been using it for over 20 years.

Stir well until the mixture is one solid color with no streaks of clear coat.Д¬andy apple red (occasionally known as apple- candy red) is the name code used by manufacturing companies to define a shade of red similar to the red sugar coating on candied apples. Mix the paint into the clear coat with a small paint stirrer. People also ask, how do you mix candy paint?ДЄdd a few drops of the candy paint to the clear coat. It is important to note that virtually all pre- made candys are lacquer, and as such need to be applied over and under similar lacquer surfaces. Secondly, how is candy paint made? Candy paint is a tinted transparent coating that is usually applied over a highly reflective gold or silver base coat and then overcoated with clear. Avoid dry spraying, as loss of adhesion is possible. Allow each coat to flash dull (Typically 5 to 15 minutes) between coats. Subsequently, one may also ask, how do you spray Kandy base coat?ДЄpply 3 to 4 medium coats of Shimrin2В® Kandy Basecoat with a 75% pattern overlap.
