CANDY TANGERINE

Fender introduced the Candy Tangerine color to its guitars from 2002 on. Widely used by the Fender Custom Shop in Relic work. Inspired by the Candy colors of Hot Rod and Custom cars.

Candy colors at Fender were developed in the mid to late 1950s.

Candy Tangerine is a translucent orange to make a bilayer process, you must apply a metallic base prior to color. This base is usually made in a gold color (GoldTop), although a silver (Inca Silveror Silversparkle) can also be used.

Application guide:

• We begin to apply the color once the guitar has been primed with Nitorlack Primer.
• When we start the painting work, the pores should be closed and the grain should not be marked.
• We apply the product either by spray or spray gun at a distance of 25 cm.
• When applying we must follow an application pattern, first horizontally and then vertically, applying the paint uniformly.
• We apply several coats, letting dry between them about 24 hours and sanding between them, to remove any remaining impurities.
• This work will be finished when the surface is completely smooth and without imperfections.
