supraspeed Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Ok. My mates thinking of getting his skyline sprayed up and is using the same guy i used as he did an awesome job for if i recall about £1000 mark (not inc paint). Now my mate wants a candy colour but just wanted to know how much candy paint would cost for a full respray (all inside bonnet etc) and if anyone has candy paint on ere then could you give me a ballpark figure? cheers peeps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraspeed Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 LOL, i have told him all the downsides to candy paint but some people are just not worth arguing with... Plus i told him if he gets candy apple red then he'l end up with chew and bite marks all over it from his fat neighbours lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiten55 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 iirc candy needs a lot of primer coats, then base coats and loads of lacquer. it can get stupidly expensive, but it depends on the finish you want too. have a look here for an idea of how its done, certainly put me off doing it as its a hassle if you get a scratch etc... http://www.houseofkolor.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraspeed Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 thanks, ive seen some peoples quotes around the 4-5k mark! just ridiculous. when i had my supe sprayed focus ST Orange, that had quite a few more layers as apparantly its not a normal paint scheme. Did look nice in the sun though. Does anyone else get the urge to take a bite out of some of the candy cars or is it just me? they just look really tasty lol.

crashoverride Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 house of kolor are the best, yep i agree could eat some of them lol. i got quoted £4500 last year for a candy respray so im thinking 4k to 5k is the going rate its all the prep and layers.
