Default Thinning Pactra Candies

Seems like most people thin their Pactra lacquers 50/50 or 60/40 and shoot it at around 20 psi. I'm in the middle of a body and decided to do some candy detailing. I'm sure I read somewhere that you don't thin Pactra candies as much, but I can't seem to find it now. Also, should I use the same psi?

candies are already very thin. just remember to back them with silver if painting on the inside of a body or paint over silver if painting on the outside of the body. It will really make the colour pop. As far as pressure it depends on your needle size. 20psi is a good starting pressure. if you have any empty clear plastic bottles they work great for getting your spray pressure where you want it.
