i might get shot here guys but candy is not a colour it is the manufactures name, you can not powder proper candy products as they are only supplied in wet paint, many people rip them off saying that it is candy apple red etc but it aint, the finish of candy paints has metal flex in it to give it the metalic kind of finish. When you put two frames together one in candy colours and any other there is a big difference. Im sure the panel beaters will com out and crucify me now
your not far off!
o.k lets all go to school!
'candy' or 'kandy' was the term given to a type finish, it was pioneered by 'house of kolor' and they certainly provide the best products. hence the 'k' in the name
true kandy finishes can only be reached by spray application because of the way its done. for metallic kandy the flakes are added to the base coat, which more often than not is silver, gold is good for a different finish. for ease, a base coat of the kandy colour you want will disguise any impurities in the applcation. kandy itself is a clear colour, so kandy red will be a clear red, kandy blue will be clear blue etc, plenty of coats for this! then your normal clear laquer over the top to finish as usual.
there are kandy base coats available now to simplify the process but put next to a true kandy paint the difference is 'noticable'.
powdercoating can achieve some fantastic results, but because of the way kandy is applied, it can't be achieved through powdercoating
