    SOLID Base or STAIN Base?

    Choosing Your Base: Solid Base vs Stain Base

    Both options are compatible with Kustom Grain and both will highlight the GrainFX effect. The difference comes down to how much natural wood you want to see and how custom you need the base color to be.


    Important to Know

    Both options require wire brushing.

    Both options will show the GrainFX effect.

    The choice is mainly about transparency vs coverage and color flexibility.



    STAIN BASE

    A stain base penetrates the wood and enhances its natural character. It allows more of the wood’s variation, knots, and undertones to show through.

    Best for:

    • Customers who want visible wood clarity

    • Natural or semi-transparent looks

    • Projects where the wood itself is part of the design

    Process:

    • Sand

    • Wire brush

    • Apply stain

    • Seal coat

    • Apply GrainFX

    • Sand

    • Seal coat

    • Sand

    • Finish coat

    What to expect: More depth and transparency. You’ll see more of the natural wood beneath the color.


    SOLID BASE

    A solid base is a tinted paint system. It provides full color coverage and reduces how much of the natural wood shows through.

    Best for:

    • Customers who want a more uniform base color

    • Bolder or highly specific custom colors

    • Situations where a stain formula cannot achieve the desired tone

    Process:

    • Sand

    • Wire brush

    • Apply solid color

    • Apply GrainFX

    • Sand

    • Seal coat

    • Sand

    • Finish coat

    What to expect: More color control and more concealment of the natural wood. The wire brushing still allows the GrainFX pattern to show clearly.

    Kustom Kandy Dye Stain Concentrates

    Ultra-concentrated water and solvent soluble dye stain concentrates for vibrant, transparent wood color. Designed for uniform application, reduced lap marks, strong compatibility with topcoats, and layered custom effects. Built for bold, professional finish work.


    Kustom Kandy Features

    Kustom Kandy Dye Stain Concentrates are ultra-vibrant, professional-grade color concentrates built for woodworkers and finishers who want bold transparent color without sacrificing clarity, control, or compatibility.


    Designed as part of the Kustom Kandy finish system, these concentrates are both water and solvent soluble, giving finishers the flexibility to create custom stains, transparent color layers, and dramatic multi-step effects across a wide range of wood projects.

    What makes Kustom Kandy different is how cleanly and uniformly it applies. The color lays down evenly, does not leave heavy lap marks during application, and stays non-reactive so it plays well with virtually any finish system applied over the top. That gives finishers more freedom to build color the way they want without fighting the product.


    The colors are extremely vibrant, highly concentrated, and designed to be layered for deep, custom effects inspired by high-end instruments, custom paint, and other one-of-one finish work. Unlike many similar dye systems, Kustom Kandy also performs exceptionally well when exposed to UV sunlight, helping the color hold up better in real-world use.

    Whether you are building a bold custom wood finish, creating layered transparent color, or chasing a true show-level look, Kustom Kandy Dye Stain Concentrates are built to bring wood to life.
