Mr.t Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 I just got some and watched a video of a guy shooting candy2o and he mixed his with 4030 balancing clear, I didn't do that I sprayed mine straight from the bottle. That may be a no no but I did it! It's very thin from the bottle, it is a dye more or less and has a very dark appearance, you'll have to spray light coats to get desired color, the more you spray the darker it becomes and dont get your airbrush to close or spray to heavy in one spot or you'll blow it around and get flood lines. I touched my bait after a few days and the red was on my finger, slightly but it come off, I usually heat set but these I didnt. Now I'm worried if I dip the baits in kbs that it might bleed red over other colors on the bait, maybe that's what the 4030 helps I dont know. I really liked the flow and the color, I sprayed it over a pearl white and you could still see the pearl under the red. I know this probably ain't much help but I hope others with more experience can help us both out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverotter Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 you need to cover any coat of candy with the intercoat clear or the candy will bleed through every color over it. other then that its good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.t Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Thanks, so I dont have to mix it with anything first? So I can spray the 4030 over the candy and it's good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverotter Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 No you need to mix it with the 4030 then put a transbase over it before putting another color over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.t Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Oh ok!!! Since I didnt do that do you think I could spray it with createx clear gloss top coat then dip in kbs to prevent it from bleeding, this is the bait , I dont want the red to bleed over the gold.

riverotter Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 If the candy was the last coat your good dip it and done. You just can't put candy directly over candy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverotter Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 The top Candy will reactivate the color below it and cause bleed back, you can dust coat 4030 over the top but not necessary. A coat of 4004 or go straight to clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
