Black Candy Concentrate Powder – True Candy Paint
These pigments work with any base clear, blender or binder for a fantastic paint job!
What is a Black Candy Concentrate? It is a powder that dissolves COMPLETELY in paint to give a True Candy colored transparent paint. Candy paints originally got their names from rock candy. It has color, but you can see right through it. It has been a staple of custom paint for years, but now we can help you make your own without a bunch of paint shipping and extra storage.
We can ship our Black Candy Concentrate anywhere in the world. If you have paint and a good reducer / Thinner, you can make candy paint just like the stuff sold at the big manufacturers.
Here is how it is done: if you have a paint that takes a 1:1 ratio of reducer to clear paint, then you have what you need to make candy paint. One of our 25 gram Bags will produce a gallon of sprayable Candy Paint. Watch your ratios! A little bit goes a long way. Pre measure the amount of REDUCER you will be using. Let the appropriate amount of Candy Concentrate soak into the reducer for at least 30 minutes, and stir occasionally. Strain your newly colored reducer into your actual base coat clear or binder. Mix and spray.
If you have any reservations about whether our products work in plasti dip, you should know that we were the pioneers who introduced Pearl and Pigment and Plasti Dip Pearls to the world.
Be sure to top-coat with a high-solids clear. This is very important because all candies have been known to have less of a tolerance to UV rays than pearls, candies, or metallics. The more coats of topcoat clear, the longer the candy paint will last. Some painters have used as many as 16 coats of clear!

Black Candy Concentrate: Looks great when sprayed over reflective silver, gold, and metal flakes. Makes perfect candy tinted paint. Will work in most reducers (not Naptha). Attention: Powders appear different in the bag than when mixed (like the dark green looks blue in the bag).
The Beauty and Versatility of Black Candy Concentrate Powder
For years we have been selling metallic paint pigments, pearl pigment, candy paint, and Temperature Changing Paint for your custom paint projects. One unique product is Black Candy Concentrate Powder. In the world of custom paint, few effects offer the depth, richness, and touch of mystery that can be achieved with a carefully crafted candy finish. For the most seasoned painter or someone just starting their DIY custom paint journey, one additive stands out with it’s unmatched capabilities: the Black Candy Concentrate Powder from Paint With Pearl.
But what exactly is a Black Candy Concentrate Powder? Unlike traditional paints that rely on opaque pigments for their color, Candy Concentrates offer a stunning transparency that allows light to interact with underlying layers. This creates a luminous effect, that seems to glow from within, with a richness that the paint pigments by themselves could never acheive.
At Paint With Pearl, we are here to help inspire you to create something one of a kind with all of our unique offerings.
What are its distinct benefits? In the world of DIY custom paint, the most popular include:
- Unique Transparent Finish: Unlike opaque paints, candies allow light to pass through, creating a luminous, three-dimensional effect.
- Customizable Intensity: Control the depth and darkness of your candy finish by adjusting the concentration of the powder in your mixture.
- Unparalleled Versatility: Perfect for creating vintage-inspired finishes, subtle accents, or bold, eye-catching statements.
But what about a specific process for applying this unique material? You have to follow these steps:
- Start with a Base. It is always a great practice to spray your Black Candy Concentrate Powder over a black basecoat. This will help to provide you with an excellent color base for the unique color to shine.
- Even Mix It’s important that you mix this powder in the right ratios, otherwise the color will not appear as intended. It will take a bit of practice, so make sure you do small test areas before you start the custom painting process on your item.
- Spray Evenly. As the heading suggests, you must make sure that you have an even spray pattern for each coat to ensure that the unique effects shine!
