Alclad II Candy Colors Transparent Lacquer Paints
Alclad II Candy Colors are transparent, high-impact lacquer paints designed to be layered over metallic base coats for deep, vibrant finishes. These paints are popular for automotive builds, aircraft accents, custom projects, and display models where depth and light reflection matter.
Unlike opaque paints, candy colors allow light to pass through the color layer and reflect off the metallic base beneath, creating rich tones and a true layered finish.

Why the metallic base matters
Candy finishes get their depth from the interaction of a transparent color layer and the reflective base below it. A brighter metallic base generally produces a different effect from a darker one, and additional light coats can increase the apparent color depth. Spray sample panels to select the base-and-candy combination before applying it to a finished model.
