no worrys man, let us know how ya go. ive used one of their candy concentrates and was pretty impressed. im spraying a car in the alsa corp mystic chameleon in the next few weeks.

post some pics when its done, i'd love to see how it turns out.

nick; pm me, i wanna spray my mrs car, outside only, in the same sorta colour. give me hand/spray it and i'll work out some cash Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

here's a few other colours i've played around with over a black base and the other half of the panel is the same colours but on a silver base. the pics are rather big. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

is that the purple we spoke about? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

nah that's good.. that's the kinda colour im lookin for.. you seem handy on the gun mate, keen on giving me a hand later in the year?

we'll work something out Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hey lowbstvl have you got any more pics you could post up of the purple in day light, i have just ordered some of this candy with gold shimmer pearl to paint my vl and would like to see some pics of how the purple looks. i will definitely post some pics of my car when its finished. Thanks Macheda

i'll try to get some up soon. it looks the same on an overcast day, but in the sun it looks pretty flash. i'll take some more if its sunny on the weekend. you know how melbourne weather is Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Over a black base is the way to go they look really good, what colours are they? Roughly how many coats are on?

lowbstvl: I want to get a cheapish car shell, probably VH (Coz they r cheap ) and spray it up. If I screw it up I'll just take it to scrap metal, but im pretty keen in learning to spray myself. I'm off to the library in 10mins to get some books on panel beating and spraypainting to try and learn as much as I can. I've been having a look on the net too and have a bit of info. Candy's are meant to be much harder to paint than acrylic and 2pak. I want to paint in 2pak. You said you only do this as a hobby? Do you have any tips on being able to turn out a top quality looking job when not being a professional in the trade? I'll be trying to learn as much as I can over the next month or 2 then probably try and tackle a big job in the second half of the year. Any tips from someone who has learnt to do this sorta stuff themselves would be a great help...I figure if I screw up any layer, I can just rub it back and start that layer again, so theres no big deal? If I take care and do some practise first I should be sweet yeh? Cheers, Allen. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Cheers, Allen. hey allen, its good to hear other people are actually trying to do some of this themselves. the candy is the type of colour and the acrylic and 2 pac is the type of paint. i used acrylic cause it was easier for me to work with. problem being if you stuff it up its hard to fix imo. i'd suggest you go to your local house of kolor dealer and pic up some tech sheets through them and they have all the info you need.

Hey all, my painter just finished painting the engine bay, insides of doors, rocker cover and underside of boot and bonnet. I am using the candy purple powder with gold shimmer pearl from paintwithpearl. i used 2pack and am very happy with the results so far, he will be painting the rest of my car later next week so i will post some pics up of the car all finished when he finishes it. I thought i would post some pics up of how the paint turned out on the rocker cover, feel free to leave your thoughts and comments. here are the pics Click on the the links to open them. http://img139.imageshack.us/my.php?i...oto00242gn.jpg (http://img139.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo00242gn.jpg) http://img139.imageshack.us/my.php?i...oto00254xx.jpg (http://img139.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo00254xx.jpg) http://img126.imageshack.us/my.php?i...oto00269dx.jpg (http://img126.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo00269dx.jpg) http://img139.imageshack.us/my.php?i...oto00276xq.jpg (http://img139.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo00276xq.jpg) http://img126.imageshack.us/my.php?i...oto00296vl.jpg (http://img126.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo00296vl.jpg) http://img139.imageshack.us/my.php?i...oto00330es.jpg (http://img139.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo00330es.jpg) http://img216.imageshack.us/my.php?i...oto00346qj.jpg (http://img216.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo00346qj.jpg) http://img126.imageshack.us/my.php?i...oto00390hk.jpg (http://img126.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo00390hk.jpg)

good stuff man, that colour will look very nice over silver

Thanks SYKO3L i would like it a bit of a darker purple i told my painter that and he sed he will try and get it darker but i am happy with the way it turned out like that by the way i thought i better add that it was over a black base.

That looks great macheda.

Yeah, that's a nice colour. That would look hot over silver as above, but we don't need to see 8 pictures of a rocker cover How much is your respray gonna cost you? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thanks for the comments guys, my painter is chargin me about $700 to sand, prime, black base and paint my car in that colour, but i have spent about another $700 on paint and stuff, so its fairly cheap.
