If I paint the metallic colors onto (brown) chocolate candies, will it make the surface completely the metallic color or only add shimmer?

I've done both...If you dry dust it on the chocolate it will only add a shimmer. If you mix the metallic color with either lemon juice or vodka (no trace of alcohol will remain as it evaporates) then paint it, it will change the entire surface of the chocolate. Hopes that helps.

To clarify my previous answer....I have put the color in a separate bowl and allowed it to dry out and then used it as a dry dust to add shimmer. Yo u can use it directly out the bottle but I usually dilute it and paint it on to change the entire surface.

Not really it is even a little more pink than coral. I use another cover over it that has a pinkish tint to it and has sparkles in it as my second coat and I get lots of compliments on it. I have not found any of the colors to have a shimmer to them they are all just like a color polish but they are shiny after you put your clear coat over it.

I am so glad that we used the glaze. IMO it made a huge difference in the Cocoa finish. They went from brown cabinets that looked painted which I wasn't completely sold on to cabinets that I love that look a lot more natural.

So far I've used the peach to pink. Which I thought was more of a hot pink to pale pink. The green to yellow, which is quite neon. And the metallic purple to pink. I'm disappointed with the metallic purple because I didn't see any change in color. It's ok as a regular polish.

It didn't mess ours up when we baked it. I think they recommend baking it to make the paint permanent? I honestly couldn't tell the difference between what the pieces looked like before and after we baked them, but baking definitely didn't mess anything up. Good luck!

No- as susanne said, the inside comes in contact with your food. You want it to have a somewhat matte look - just the copper - the polish is on the outside where it doesn't react with food. Patina is an entirely different thing - that's the darkening that occurs naturally with copper. As you use your pan, you'll usually use an acid (i.e. lemon juice) that will keep that part touched by food very "clean" looking - if you want the rest to look that way, just use lemon juice and salt (or copper cleaner).

You can certainly make the highest quality chocolate using our cocoa butter.Depending on how glossy you want for your final product to look like, cocoa butter will give you so smooth ourersurface but not too glossy.thank you

If you are airbrushing, you can paint directly on the cookie but it won't be all that pretty. I would suggest at least a thin coat of color flow or royal icing, let it dry then paint on the while smooth surface. The color would have a true and clean look. If you paint directly on the cookie, it will have a very distorted color and surface apprearance.

I don't think I could help you out much. I used a light gray/white color but I added metallic color and glitter...I love it and I have had mine done over a year now. I wish I could post a picture for you.

It needs a very smooth black base coat underneath. I tried it on a hammered black finish on metal and it lost almost all colorshift, so I doubt a vinyl color/surface would provide the desired effect. I would also worry about paint cracking.

The metallics take a bit longer than the flat and gloss finishes in my experience. You can thin it for better results, but using thinner coats of it straight from the bottle may work for you as well, depending on your painting technique (hand painted Vs. airbrush, etc.) Try thinner coats applied to the plastic model and doing multiple coats where applicable, first. If that doesn't/already isn't working, then try thinning it out progressively. You can practice on plastic spoons/knives to get your method down without running any potential risk with your model pieces.

I successfully added a pearlescent product to it. I don't know why you couldn't add a tint that is recommended for lacquer. It would be a good idea to mix a very small amount and test it first.

This is the mold. You can melt candy melts and pour them into the mold to get colors or you can temper chocolate and use.

The metalic colors are plain gold,silver,copper etc no brilliant but very pretty I use them a lot in my crafts. The glitter metallic is kind of shine that with the light you see sparkling,glitter. Sometimes I use the plain metalic and when still wet I put some shine clear or silver glitter power and looks wonderful. Hope this information help you .

I have never had a problem with the colors bleeding onto the cupcake pan. Of course, I am using an aluminum pan. And the colors do not bleed onto the cupcakes either.

I've only ever mixed it with resin which turn out quite well, i do have a paint product as well which i discovered is simply the powder in a translucent once dry paint but the powder was gritty not dissolved in the paint which is how I found out, so I'm not sure if it would actually disolve, though you have my interest, I make fairies that glow and a snow globe type of trinket would be very interesting, I believe I will do some mixing this afternoon and relate my findings
