Neptune Candy

Luna Candy Paints deliver the deep, liquid-glass brilliance that defines true custom candy finishes. Each translucent color layer adds rich tone and depth, creating a dazzling effect over metallic bases, color shifts, or blended into midcoats to craft one-of-a-kind hues. Designed for maximum vibrancy and control—your creativity is the only limit.

Yes, Candy Paints are only used two ways:

- Applied over a metallic basecoat or midcoat to add a translucent color intensifier

- Mixed into a midcoat to enhance or change the hues of that particular midcoat

Yes! All of our Luna Permanent Paint products require a TopCoat. We recommend the VHS Crystal Premium Clearcoat or the Standard Gloss Clearcoat.

Preparation

• Apply only over Luna Basecoat or Midcoat
• Environment: Ideal temperature 65–75 °F (18–24 °C). Relative humidity 40–60 %. Spray in a well-ventilated area or booth to avoid overspray buildup.
• Personal Protection: Wear a properly fitting respirator rated for solvent vapors. Use nitrile gloves and safety goggles. Keep working area free of open flames or sparks.

Mix Well

• Mix the Paint well as pigments may have settled during transport.
• Test-spray on a disposable card or scrap piece to check atomization, color and coverage before applying.

Spraying Technique

• Spray 2 x 75% Wet coats for full coverage with a 10-15 minute flash between coats.
• Use smooth, even passes, overlapping each pass by 50 % for uniform coverage.
• Check color carefully, as candy effect will intensify after each coat

Drying before Clearcoat

• Flash Between Coats: Allow each coat to fully flash (no longer tacky) before recoating to prevent runs and orange peel.
• After the final coat of color, wait 30 minutes before applying our VHS or Standard Clearcoat

Shake & Test

• Shake the can vigorously for 45–60 seconds, inverting several times to mix pigments and metallic flakes.
• Test-spray on a disposable card or scrap piece to check atomization, color and coverage before applying to the final part.

Spraying Technique

• Hold the can 5–6 inches (12–15 cm) from the surface, perpendicular to the panel. Do not tilt.
• Use smooth, even passes, overlapping each pass by 50 % for uniform coverage.
• Depress the trigger fully for consistent flow; release fully between passes to avoid drips.
• Move the can at a steady speed

Layering & Coverage

• Candy effect will intensify with each coat
• Flash time 5–10 minutes.

Drying before Clearcoat

• Flash Between Coats: Allow each coat to fully flash (no longer tacky) before recoating to prevent runs and orange peel.
• After the final coat of color, wait 30 minutes before applying our 2K Clearcoat Aerosol.

Cleanup & Storage

• Cap Clearing: turn the can upside down and spray until only propellant comes out - his keeps the valve and cap clean.
• Nozzle Care: Remove and clean with solvent (do not soak)
• Storage: Store cans upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid freezing or temperatures above 120 °F (49 °C).
