How To Make a Candy-Pearl Black Cherry Color

Hey guys, welcome to another

color

mixing session with Chris, we're going to talk about a caramel

pearl

base coat that goes along with a

black

cherry

color

. Some of you have seen or may have seen Craig's quote video on

black

cherry

candy

color theory. were two variations of their black cherry blend, we're going to

make

the second one, which is two parts Brandywine

candy

on top of one part dark purple and Loki purple candy, so we already mixed a little bit of that in this cup for this one, I actually used our forty-fifty, our gloss clear, the UV LS clear.

We found that for caramel the only difference is creating a

pearl

ized caramel base layer. We quilted about 20 percent with the overall mix of bright cosmic red and 20% bright cosmic blue, so give us a little bit to create a sweet pearl face, so we like it, I said 20% to the overall mix, I got it mixed, we will show you what it looks like on silver, that is our evil silver that is called born black and our evil gold. So those are the base layers. I'm going to use my eighth water or my eighth. For this one I love this little gun, the fan pattern is great, this brand we'll show you how it works with light layers. layers, see how far I am.

You can see on the white paper behind here this nice first layer. One of the other benefits of working on lighter layers is how quickly it will draw, so we blow some air over the surface. It will be a big help in terms of getting the first few coats applied and dry. This is a 75% overlap. It's nice that those few burnt layers look worse overall. Get your second and third code, that's when you're really going to Start seeing the color value by looking at the color of your model, so don't be afraid of your first coke lips again, we'll let this dry and if we go to approve the units of code number two, we will continue with ve three, yes, it is the same technique, build it.

I like those real awareness of your end, like I said in the third code, now you can really see, let this dry in Ko number four, be gentle, okay, coat number three is dry, this is the code number . four, this is going to be our last layer, it looks pretty good before I fray it and

make

it clear so the guys can see what they look like and really start to see that color on that paper in the background, you can see how even that is pretty. Great, you don't see the cosmic right now, you'll see a pop when it has some shine.

Hey guys, just a quick little preview here. I don't think and see how that's still a little bit. The big difference is a little bit. of cosmic brilliance Nate is on that call okay we're back in the cabin our panels are dry it's very hard to see them here because of the nature of this color this black cherry color so we'll take them outside in a minute and I will show them what they look like under the sun. I think that's going to give you the most visual impact, like the wow factor of the color and what we have.

Before we do that, we'll just recap our color and our terrain. very quick coat for our black we used our Auto Bourne black sealer for the gold we had our evil gold and a silver was our evil aluminum so those are the base coats and we did our black cherry color with our Brandywine caramel or caramel for a Brandywine and our candies to a deep purple color, so we mixed two parts Brandywine with one part deep purple and then we mixed our Cosmic Blue, Cosmic Sparkle Blue, and Cosmic Sparkle Red, one by one, and added about 25% to that candy mixture and then we wrap it.

In total, we have our 4050 ru VLS clean, so we clean six to six parts for one part of that overall mix and I think it's very important to touch on it to build up these colors and layers that you really want to be able to control. the depth of the color and the amount of code, so we did it, I think with four because this color is very dark, you just want to have that control and it helps without having any kind of pigment here, it's just the cosmic ones that are kind. to give you a little bit of color but it's a mini flake so it doesn't really give you coverage in terms of covering up spots or streaks so it's really imperative to build this up and the light coats again make sure they're dry. every time dry completely between coats and you know, if you think it's good, maybe waiting a minute more won't hurt you, so we'll put them together and put them out in the sun so you can check them and see and take them out.

Well guys, we're outside, we managed to get some sunlight here so you can see this. I think the best way to really see these colors is outside. This is our black cherry on silver. Our evil aluminum was the. base for that I'm going to show you the gold so this is our black cherry on the evil gold and these two are very similar in color what's happening is with the gold it has a tendency to bring out the warmer tone so We're seeing a little bit more of the Brandywine color, where the silver tends to bring out the cooler tone, so we're seeing a little more of that blue from the purple, so it's a subtle difference, but definitely a difference, and I'm going to I show you the last one that's on the black, this is the autonate black and this one is really cool, you can see it, you know, wherever the curve is, it really pops, but wherever it's flat, it almost goes totally black, so this would be really cool. effect if you had something that had a lot of curves or a lot of edges to break up that color, I think this would be a pretty spectacular color, so I think that's what we're done with, thanks for hanging out with us and I'll see you next time.
