Attn: The King!! Candy Lime Green translucent problems !!

[JHForman]

There is something seriously wrong with the candy lime green, I have shot about 20 DIFFERENT parts! I produce the same result!! I have shot candy color all day, and this is the only color that will not lay out and has a problem EVERY TIME!! I even went through the process of completely cleaning my oven and making sure there was nothing contaminating the parts!! I am at my wits end, I would honestly like to trade it out for another color or something please help!!







Here is all the other candy colors I shot along with the green again!!

I hate to say it, but I'm starting to see a trend here. Either we are all doing something wrong or there is something wrong with the powder. I had the exact same issue with that candy and I tried EVERYTHING, shoot it light, shoot it heavy, hot flock, bring up temps fast and slow, cure low, cure high, everything I could think of. The only way I can get it to look good is to shoot an incredibly light coat, partially cure, and then shoot a second heavier coat. By then, there's very little candy effect left to speak of. Like shown on those wheels I just did, it's basically bright green with about 5% of the base coat visible.

When i shoot it light, I get a good color, but extremely uneven!! If i shoot it heavy it doesnt achieve the color I had hoped for I have shot it over a TON of different base coats, Silver Vein, white, silver, chrome, and grey metalic, the base coats come out nice and smooth then i get this when i apply the candy. I have even shot it over the part the INSTANT it comes out of the oven. The green turns way way too dark once applied.

Glad to see i am not the only one getting this problem.

We are checking into this and will keep you updated as soon as possible. The candy lime green, red, blue, purple, raspberry are all from the same manufacturer. We have forwarded this information on to them to find out exactly what the problem is. In the mean time we can request a new batch and get the new powder out to you ASAP.

Any way i can trade it for a different color? I mean i really dont want to run another chance of having bad powder. Let me know if we can work something out on this.

Thanks,
