Muffleman Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 IMO a metalflake or any over the top paintwork is going to detract from what you've done. Stick to a strong colour, and not too dark or you'll lose the lines of the bodykit, which TBH is something special ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 How long have you had to chose the paint/colour, talk about last minute decisions I chose a colour and then they took on another range of paints that do metal flakes etc so it's changed things. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with the metallic still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopite Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 NOT METAL FLAKE!! sorry but gotta agree with the others - go candy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 I don't even know what candy/kandy MEANS! I've seen candy/kandy cars and they just look shiny and metallic to me. What defines them as being c/kandy? Anyway, decision made- no metalflake!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Candy is sprayed over normal paint, its like a coloured clearcoat. Anyway, with the colour you're planning on going with (if its still that purple) I wouldnt worry about candy as its got enough shine/sparkle to it as it is.

Supragal Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 That just looks like a red shiny car to me! Just a darker red so it's more acceptable than bright red Bobbeh- thanks and yes pretty much that purple, bit darker but still the same effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 This is a better example.. on a car that actually makes it look nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 The only candy apples I've seen are red- is there a reason for that? That car, although lovely, just looks like a red car with an odd pink sheen to it- is that the candy part of the equation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Yes. Thats the sparkle/flick/shiney bit added to clearcoat that goes over a normal base colour. Red looks nice and I guess is a common colour for it, I've seen cars in Green and Blue and they lokl look nice. I think red gives a better effect.
