Title: Brodak Candy Color
Post by: Dave Lajb on September 29, 2023, 04:35:10 PM

I am going to do a plane with Brodak Candy Pink, which I have never done before.  I know its a challenging task but I am going to do it and use the Klass Kote clear over the candy.  The question I have is can I use a white primer as the base or do I have to put a white dope down first.  As always, thank you in advance for your assistance.

So, I figured it out on my own.  If anyone else ever considers candy colors, a good quality etching primer wet sanded to 3000 worked very well.  The candy lays down great, but it is not forgiving in the least bit. If you see a flaw in the primer Candy will amplify it 10 fold.   But with the Klass Kote clear the color looks beautiful.
