View All Spaz StixSpaz Stix Candy Blue Airbrush Ready Paint is a translucent candy-effect colour designed to create deep, vibrant custom finishes on clear polycarbonate RC car and truck bodies. The colour builds in intensity through multiple light coats, while the backing colour determines the brightness, depth and overall character of the finished paint job.
The paint comes pre-thinned and ready to pour directly into a suitable airbrush. When painting the inside of a clear polycarbonate body, apply Candy Blue first using several light, even coats, allow the colour to develop evenly, then apply your chosen backing colour. White creates the brightest result, Metallic Silver adds sparkle and depth, while Gold produces a darker finish with greater visual depth.

FAQ
Does Spaz Stix Candy Blue SZX15450 need to be thinned? No. This is an Airbrush Ready formula that comes pre-thinned and can be poured directly into a suitable airbrush.
Why does Candy Blue look very transparent when first sprayed? This is normal. Candy Blue is intentionally translucent, and the colour initially appears faint. Its intensity builds as additional light coats are applied.
Does Candy Blue need a backing colour? Yes. Spaz Stix specifies that a backing colour should be applied after achieving an even Candy Blue finish. The backing colour brings out the final colour and strongly influences its appearance.
Which backer gives the brightest Candy Blue? White produces the brightest finished colour, although it provides less visual depth than metallic or darker backing options.
Which backing colour does Spaz Stix recommend for a metallic candy effect? Metallic Silver is a recommended option and produces a bright, rich finish with metallic sparkle and additional depth.
Can I back Candy Blue with Gold? Yes. Gold produces a darker finished colour with greater visual depth.
Can Mirror Chrome be used behind Candy Blue? Yes. Spaz Stix lists Ultimate Mirror Chrome as a backing option for creating a coloured-chrome effect. Follow the specific application instructions for the Mirror Chrome product when using this combination.
How should Candy Blue be applied? Apply several light, even coats and allow the paint to dry between applications. Avoid trying to achieve full colour intensity with one heavy coat because Candy paints are designed to build colour gradually.
Can it be used on surfaces other than polycarbonate? Spaz Stix formulates this paint specifically for polycarbonate RC bodies. Compatibility should be tested before applying it to other materials.
