Candy Red Paint

[dhutton]

If you are a novice doing it yourself it might be easier if you went with a tri stage paint rather than a true candy. I used House Of Kolor Kandy Base to paint my GTO. Stages are:

black sealer
3 coats silver base
4 coats Kandy Base (color was Brandywine)
3 coats clear
wet sand
2 flow coats clear
cut and buff

True candies are hard to paint. The Kandy Base was similar to painting a metallic paint. Just have to be careful to avoid tiger striping.
