The X-otic Colours Custom Design and Styling Book comes with 44 Candee colour overlay transparencies.  By placing these Candee colour transparencies over a light, medium or dark shade of illustrated metallic and pearl basecoats, an endless array of colours can be viewed and then formulated.  No other system allows the custom painter to work with such precision and variety to create truly unique custom colours.

Note:  Candee Mid-Coats are filled to 23 ounces in 32-ounce quart containers.  This allows room for the direct addition of catalyst and Candee tints.  Candee Mid-Coats require urethane catalyst product number 40-100.  Our urethane catalyst is sold in an 8 oz container and is mixed directly into the quart can.  The Candee Mid-Coat will then be slightly over catalyzed for faster curing.  Direct mixing of the catalyst into the quart container reduces common mixing errors.

This is a fast drying product that can be applied within trunks and under hoods.  Jammin Coats will dry to a semi-gloss finish. A high gloss finish may be achieved by following the directions contained in our Product Applications Directions Booklet.  One or two coats of Production Cleer, product number 32-200, should be applied over Jammin’ Coats in areas susceptible to damage or chemical intrusion.

Note:  Jammin Untinted Neutral Base product number 34-200, is a multifunctional base that is also used as our Protective/Bonding/Jammin’ Cleer with the same product number 34-200 — See: Cleers & Urethane Catalyst in this Product Information Guide.

Note:  Most custom painters apply their Pearl and Metallic Basecoats in door jams and door step-plates followed by two to three coats of Production Cleer product number 32-200.  The application of Production Cleer to these Basecoats will increase gloss, increase scuff resistance, and assist in limiting damage from chemical intrusion.

This means that our neutral base products may receive any combination of our tint pastes, toners, or dry pearls.  This compatibility allows for the design and formulation of experimental colours and products.  We encourage the experimentation and creativity that is now possible with the
X-otic Colours Custom Paint System.
