Blood over silver base.. Kandy's are exhausting and a pain in the ars. You can get almost the same effect with some 2 stages....

he's 100% right. newyorksc & i have the same kandy color but different bases, and you can definatly tell when parked side by side. (shout-out newyorksc- keepin it clean!) the darker the base the darker the outcome. i used a mercedes silver. also if you scratch your paint your done. kandy is almost impossible to blend. and if your not painting it yourself, $$$$$$. (shout out 2 twizted- car looks great bro, did you tint ur front window?)

Yeah I wouldn't do a candy color, too hard to fix. I will probably be laying the paint myself. I like that mica color, although the one I saw on an sc looked a little different?

i used the gamma gold base. It you ever have to repaint a section you should go back to the same painter if you can.

did u guys use HOK brand kandy?

Alsa blood candy concentrate, They are always going to look different. Not only the bade color but the candy how much pigment you add, how many layers are sprayed. They color changes with each thing...
