finally decided on a colour
yup finally decided to paint the fifty 2 candy apple red pearl I think it will go nice with the wood box I seen the colour at powerama a car show here in Edmonton it looked great on this 57 nomad The interior is a toss up between light tan and dark charcoal grey The red will be accented with gold you know the fancy old school pinstripping Me and my painter decided at the car show now we are at the mock up stage and into final wet sanding I will have pics soon

What's it off of? Dodge? Should look sweet! ^_^
Though some of the names drive me nuts, lol I think this one is the worst, cause candy apple makes people think it's a Kandy type paint (even though it's off the red candy apples) and pearl, well thats in clear coating, lol.
But yep, I'm going with a kandy candy apple as well, just no other red like it

mine is a candy green, metallic base + candy + clear. House of Color also has pearls, but the fleck was smaller than I wanted.

The stuff I'm thinking of is used after a the color is put down, but it's just pigment, could go in anything. If you put it on after, in the clear coat, it does some amazing things (another pure clear coat after). It's fairly translucent, like a watered down candy that only shows in highlights. Subtle, but makes a strong end effect.
This guy has a good example right on the front page; orange base, copper candy then gold pearl.

Haven't had a chance to, was planning on using it over white on a rocker panel stripe for my car after I moved. For the price it's worth a shot to say the least. I think they can be so inexpensive because it's not in a clear already, but just a bag of pigment. Which is kinda nice as it allows better control and not having a bunch you didn't use.
