Hi Guys!, [
]
Hope you don't mind but a number of modelers have asked me about the Alclad2 Kandy colors in action, so I'm sharing the photos below as samples.
I teach Collision Repair & Paint Refinishing at a high school. Since painting is part of the curriculum, I brought the Alclad2 Kandy colors to my class and generated some excitement. One of my students first airbrushed a layer of the Bright Silver Kandy Base, then proceeded with thin layers of a few of the colors on to a seascape mural that was painted on to the deck lid (trunk) that came off of a Toyota MR-2. He had fun with it and the results, imho, were quite nice! The deck lid was then sealed with a PPG clear coat. (Sorry for blurring his face, but he's under 18).
I know it's hard to see in the photo but if you look carefully you'll see a whale "underwater" on the right side:
Here in the classroom, I taped several unwanted compact discs on to masking paper on the board and demonstrated how to apply the Kandies with an airbrush. Before hitting the CDs, I drew some squiggly lines to test the airbrush and show my students how easy it was.
(Kandy Violet, Kandy Red, Cobalt Blue, and Emerald Green with a layer of Electric Blue).
Cool factor is that in addition to scale models, this can be used for other applications too! My wife already likes the idea of spraying Kandy accents to some of her decorative "knick knacks" (statues, etc) around the house!
