Candy and graphite

RalphsRacers Thursday, 9/19/2024

I got told about graphite by Dr Dodge a short time ago and finally bought some. It took me a short while to get it done well, my car at the moment im doing is the Renault Megane Trophy. My previous car which was beating everything when using graphite an 18' Dodge Challenger SRT Demon was only just winning against the Trophy so i thought i would graphite the Trophy as well. Ive now taken the Trophy apart and is currently in paint stripper. Im looking at a new paint scheme and like the Spectraflame.

Ive bought a couple of cans of candy, brown and Green, but need sparkling silver. These are my results without on two other vehicles

. Is sparkling silver the needed undercoat or is it primer, sparkling silver then candy. Advice please

Would either of these be classed as spectra flame

They look pretty like Spectraflame to me — ManiacMotorsports

Thats just paint stripped, undercoated white with candy green on it. The internals are just candy green sprayed direct.im happy with them all, doing a toyota GT next. Not sure which method. — RalphsRacers
Green over white is nice, I’m gonna try it. Thanks — alva1370

I have had good luck with this over polish, but it needs a good clearcoat over,

because it chips/scratches easy

I have to admit, the title was misleading. I was looking at it like, "This guy is using SUGAR as graphite??? I gotta see this ..........." Only when I opened up the thread did I realize you were making two separate posts about candy PAINT and the benefits of using graphite.......
