Navy Blue Candy 400ml

🏁 Get the exact tone real vehicles wear. Navy Blue Candy 400ml is formulated for scale modelers who won't settle for 'close enough' when the judges — or their own eye — start looking for flaws.

Navy Blue Candy belongs to the candy-colour family, a technique that traces back to the kustom kulture hot-rod scene of 1950s and 60s America, where painters layered transparent tinted lacquer over a chrome or silver base to create depth no solid colour could match. The same principle is used here: this is a transparent toner, not an opaque paint, and its final colour depends entirely on the reflective base coat underneath.

Navy Blue Candy is an aerosol spray paint that is supplied ready-to-use in a pressurised can, formulated for even coverage across larger surfaces. It suits 1:8, 1:10 and 1:12 R/C bodies and larger static models, as well as full-size hobby and DIY respray work where a fine airbrush cartridge would run out too quickly. As a transparent toner, it should be built up in several light, even coats over its required metallic base rather than sprayed heavy in one pass, which would trap solvent and cloud the effect.

💡 Laboratory Application Tips

• Preparation (Primer): A Chrome or Silver metallic base coat is essential, not optional: this is a transparent toner colour, and it relies entirely on a reflective base underneath to generate its depth and colour-shift. Painting it over a plain primer will produce a flat, muddy result.
• Painting Technique: Shake the can thoroughly for at least a minute, then spray in light, even passes from roughly 20-30cm, keeping the can moving to avoid pooling. Several thin coats give better coverage and a smoother finish than one heavy pass.
• Finishing: Allow full curing time between coats and before clearcoating; aerosol lacquers can stay workable for longer than airbrushed paint, so patience at this stage avoids solvent wrinkling later.

⚠️ Chromatic Fidelity Notes

Real Scale vs. Miniature: This formula is adjusted to counter the "scale effect," so light reflection on the miniature stays proportional to the real vehicle or object rather than looking artificially pale or dark.

Visual note: Product photos are for reference only. The full three-dimensional depth and true pigment brilliance only become visible once the model is painted and properly clearcoated.
