About product

Candy Ruby Red from AMMO of Mig Jimenez

Candy Ruby Red is an acrylic modeling paint of the Candy range. The whole range rests on a single principle: the paint is not applied to a gray primer like an ordinary covering shade but to a smooth glossy metallic base, which shows through it. That is how the candy effect comes about, that is a finish with an inner depth that changes its saturation according to the angle of view and according to how many coats you have applied.

Where ruby red comes in

A saturated ruby red is a classic of custom finishes. It sits well on the bodies of hot rods and lowriders, on the tanks and fenders of motorcycles, on helmets, on the parts of racing cars and on modern sci-fi machinery, where you want an expensive deep finish instead of a flat red. It works just as well on small details that are meant to look enameled or anodized.

How to work with the paint

  • First prepare the base: smooth, polished, with no score marks. The candy effect emphasizes every irregularity.
  • Apply a glossy metallic coat for the paint to work over.
  • Spray in thin coats and let the surface become tacky between them; add the saturation gradually.
  • Check the shade on a test piece rather than straight on the model — every further coat shifts the tone darker.
  • Let the finished paint rest and only then mask or overcoat.

Who it is for

For modelers of cars and motorcycles, for builders of sci-fi machinery and for anyone who wants a finish that cannot be made with an ordinary covering paint. It is applied mainly with an airbrush; an even translucent coat is difficult to make with a brush and the marks of the strokes are clearly visible in a candy finish.

Work in a ventilated room, use respiratory protection when spraying and close the container well after use. Keep out of the reach of children.

FAQ

It is not advisable. The Candy range is built as a toning coat over a glossy metallic base; on a gray primer it looks quite different from the way it is intended.

A smooth glossy metallic coat. The better the base is polished, the more cleanly the candy effect comes out.

By adding further thin coats. The saturation grows with every coat, so try the tone on an offcut with the same base.

Yes. On small parts it looks good as an imitation of enamel or anodizing; the base only has to be as smooth as on large areas.
