New paint job

Recommended Posts

Lo all,

 

ive just finished talking to a couple of mates about the C and ive decided to get a total respray done.

 

Its currently red but i'd like to go for Candy apple Red like this car

What are your opinions?

 

Ive also thought about a dark purple colour, maybe a black base coat with metallic purple over the top.

 

Would this look ok or too "in your face" for a C?

Very nice colour. Not too unlike one of the standard colours actually. Forget the name.

very nice, i bet that photo doesnt do the colour justice at all. out of interest is it a 'Kandy' colour or is it just called 'candy apple red'?

I believe its a Kandy red, you spray it over a yellow base cost for the sort of effect that you get above!

 

As far as im aware the Kandy red over yellow is just known as candy apple red! this bike frame is the best example of the colour!

Candy is cool. But mega expensive and very hard to do. Go to a bodyshop with experience of candy paints.

Ive been doing a little research into it and a couple of mates have offered their services for free. They want to learn to use Kandy colours and need a car to practice on. My car + i buy the paint and they'll do the whole thing for me, if it goes wrong they'll do a complete respray in another colour for free inc paint!

 

They've got loads of experience so it should work out well.

 

Im also looking at experienced spray shops, will keep this thread updated! :)
