Alclad II ALC701 Bright Silver Candy Base 1 oz by Alclad II

$16.64
  • Bright Silver Candy Base: Alclad II ALC-701 is the bright silver base coat made for the Alclad II Candy Enamel colors, laying down the reflective silver ground that the candy color coats are sprayed over.
  • One Medium Coat on Bare Plastic: Apply a single medium coat at 20 to 30 PSI to clean bare plastic; the shine develops as the carrier evaporates, with a dry time of 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Ready to Spray Without Thinning: Shake the bottle thoroughly before use and airbrush the base as supplied, with no thinning needed, onto surfaces that are completely clean.
  • Clean Surface Preparation: Finger marks on the bare plastic will show in the final finish, so handle parts carefully and avoid spraying in excessively damp or humid conditions.
  • 1 oz Bottle: Supplied in a 1 oz (30 ml) bottle; allow the silver base to cure for 1 hour before overcoating it with the Alclad II Candy Enamel color of your choice.


Lay the foundation for a candy color finish with Alclad II ALC701 Bright Silver Candy Base, an airbrush base coat made for car modelers, aircraft builders, and hobbyists who enjoy custom paint effects. This bright silver base is the undercoat for the Alclad II Candy Enamel colors and is applied before the candy color coats. Shake the bottle thoroughly before use and spray it as supplied, without thinning, onto surfaces that are completely clean. A single medium coat at 20 to 30 PSI on clean bare plastic is all that is needed; the shine develops as the carrier evaporates, with a dry time of 15 to 30 minutes. Because finger marks on the bare plastic will appear in the final finish, careful handling matters, and excessively damp or humid conditions should be avoided. Allow the base to cure for 1 hour before applying candy enamels. Supplied in a 1 oz (30 ml) bottle, it is the essential first step for the candy range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to thin this paint before airbrushing?
No, do not thin this paint. Apply it straight from the bottle at 20-30 PSI to clean bare plastic.
Can I apply candy colors directly, or do I need a base coat first?
You must apply this Bright Silver base first. Allow it to cure for 1 hour before applying any Alclad candy enamel colors on top.
How long does this paint take to dry?
Initial dry time is 15-30 minutes. However, allow a full 1 hour cure time before applying candy colors. The shine will continue to develop as the carrier evaporates.
What surface preparation is needed?
Surfaces must be completely clean and bare plastic. Avoid finger marks on the plastic, as they will show in the final finish. Do not apply in excessively damp or humid conditions.
How many models can I paint with this 1 oz bottle?
Coverage depends on model size and number of coats. One 1 oz bottle contains enough for multiple applications at 1 medium coat per surface, though a smaller model may use just a portion.
Is this paint suitable for scale modeling and detail work?
Yes, this is designed specifically for scale modeling and detail airbrush work. It's formulated as a base coat for Alclad's 7xx series enamel candy paints used by modelers.
