I believe candy is a red clear-coat over silver/polished. Ask Mr. Radman he did that Trickstar I had and it was beautiful.

[Steve P]

You're right Dave ... I'm pretty sure the candy colours use a silver base 

A decent metallic/mica paint match would do the job TBH ... I should've mentioned that in my 1st post really

Call LSN coatings in Castleford - they do a candy red powdercoat, just has a looptail pk done that arrives with me next week...

Thanks for that Steve ... I've already got a painter, I just need the colour code now 

Not to worry folks ... I'll have a cheeky look through my painter's colour guide to find a similar match

if you go into any decent car paint shop and ask to look at the house of color or kandy paint catalouge you are looking for apple red, i have some paint left over, i will try and get to my sprayer to get the code for you, DO NOT powder it as it is not candy, candy red is like a metalic paint, you cant get the correct finish with powder, i can coat a frame set for £75 plus postage, lmk if you want me to do it

Thanks Matt ... that code will come in very handy if you can get it

Kandy paint doesn't have an official code!

house oof kolor only produce 20 kandy colours each has a name, not a code.

i posted this in an old thread if any of it helps. (at the bottom)

candy paint does normaly contain a pearl effect to it, it either glimers gold or purple under strong light.

for me i went for transparent red on a super chrome base coat from caswell plating as i don't want the pearl effect,
i think they can supply for spraying as well.
