A lot of customers have asked us about the difference between Auto-Air Candy Pigment Colors and Candy2O colors are. It can be kind of confusing because they are both called candies.
Candy pigment colors are actually the same as Wicked Detail Colors. They are very transparent and use fine pigments. Perfect for fine detail art such as automotive muraling.
Candy2O colors use dye for coloring instead of pigment. So they are super transparent and yet very bright. They are very thin and flow like water. These colors are typically spray over a metallic base for that true candy look and used primarily for graphics and even entire paint jobs.
Activated by ProLong to keep the rich pigment color. For more transparent effect use 91%+ Alcohol. Cracking & air bubbles may be present due to the absence of phthalates (soft plastic). SOLIDS are a heavy dried pigment and may require extra brush working the pigment into desired consistency. May have to scratch the surface on Neons expecally.
Each 6 color Palette includes a 1 ounce bottle of ProLong.
SOLIDS are Phthalate-Free (Contain no Plasticizers). Also Gluten Free, not tested on animals, and skin safe. This formula is similar to powdered mineral makeup. Contents are not flammable and non-combustible.
Do not use on sunburned skin or open wounds. ProAiir is manufactured and packaged in USA.

Chuck Close is best known for his photo-realistic giant portraits. As the name suggest, the intent of a photorealistic painter is to make the painting exactly like a photograph and Chuck Close was one the greatest of all time at doing do. To create his uncanny duplicates of photographs, Close put a grid pattern on the photograph and on the canvas and proceeded to duplicated it cell by cell. His tools for this included an airbrush, rags, razor blade, and a home made electric eraser which he fashioned by mounting an eraser onto a power drill. His first painting with this method was created in 1968 titled Big Self Portrait; a black and white enlargement of his face onto a 9 by 7 foot canvas. It took three months to create.
These “airbrushed” hand stencils have been found throughout the major Paleolithic cave painting sites of Indonesia and Europe, as well as throughout Aboriginal Australia. The ancient paintings were accomplished by blowing paint through hollow bones, yielding a finely grained distribution of pigment, similar to that of an airbrush.
