Nice! Kind of a candy apple colour, try the 'house of kolor' paint range.
I think its spelt a bit quirky like that.

ok ok candy is like a type similar to that of a metalic.....
hhmmm this is kind of hard to explain. candy's are pretty much a tinted clear over a base color which is mostly silver.
candy apple is one color of the candy range

cheers everyone, looks good on its own too, was going to go a two toned thing with white between the guards style, but it looks better textured in a
real pic than on a paint drawing. i better not see 100 other bugs gettin red resprays now, ive noticed that theres usually a mass of bugs @ shows in
very similar colour, usually one major stand out, last few years have been green, blue, hope red isnt this years/next years thing:simlegrin: also you
would think i was happy or something hey

yeah dark, rich, pearl, metallic candy ass ... you'd better prepare yourself for the ticket price...not to mention just how well you'll have to prep
the car to get it looking as good as that one...which is stunning...

I'm painting my bug Candy Apple pink, i'm doing everything else but one thing i wont do is the paint job. Its already going to cost $4k to get it
painted with candy apple, and if the prepping is all wrong etc it'll all turn to shit and i'm not gunna pay more on top of that because i choose to
do it.
Just be very cautious 1stcarbug, its not the sort of paint you should really use if you havent done it before (incase you havent?) I've seen how my
panel beater painted my dads car in Candy Apple Red, and whoa, i think i'll leave it to the pro's. I'll do Acrylic and 2pack... but not candy!  Bloody nice colour when done right though!

ive done sprayin b4, just not candies, ill do it myself, and yes practise/experimentaion will happen before i go spray the whole thing, i aint stupid,
yes i admit that im not a pro spraypainter but im like dasdubber in a way, dont mind if its not 100% perfect just so long as its the absolute best i
could possibly do, some people find thats an admirable quality to have, others think you shouldnt bother, each to their own, im the hands on type, id
get no satisfaction from payin someone to do it for me

if no-one stocks the colour see if you can get the code off the guy in the photo, so you can get the candy mixed exactly to spec.

dont, nor do i wish to, you cant say its my car i built it if you just paid for it, and yes i understand that to get it to look good you have to be

Dude get of the defensive, for the most part people were trying to warn you that candys can be a total bitch to paint and were trying to be
helpfull..They are a style of painting that a novice shouldn't attempt but thats not saying it cant be done and done to look good...
Your last post said it all *to your standard* mate as long as u r happy with what it looks like that go for it but u must see that people will look
and if its not a top job(not saying u cant do such) they will pick it and nobody likes to hear people say bad things bout there pride and joy..
People were only trying to give u some advice so that u dont get to the end and having spent a heap of money blood sweat and tears and have a car
thats not quite as good looking as the amount of effot you put in should dictate ..
As for the colour .. top choice... personaly i am not a fan of reds but the real deep candys look bloody fantastic...
As for where to find it look in the house of kolor range, there are a line of reds that should be what your looking for but be warned they
cost.......
best of luck
steff.............................................

Actually no, Helbus's comment is obviously a joke - take a look through the paint and body section and see how much time he devotes to helping people
unlike yourself. The difference is he has demonstrated time and time again his assistance and willingness to help, therefore a comment like this is
not viewed as serious (hence why only you viewed it that way and no one else). It is your assumption/inference that he "thinks he is the only person
who can paint or knows anything about paint" - I am sure many others on here will strongly disagree with you including myself.
I agree with your final comment although would have phrased it differently (but hey thats just me), I urge people to give things a go and have a crack
themselves. We shouldn't be discouraging people to DIY regardless of how difficult a process may be. The exception of course is modifying something
that will put them or others in danger (eg. having a crack at welding on a new frame head but not really knowing what you are doing). If the candy
paint gets screwed, so be it, its the best way to learn (when it costs time and money) - rarely will you make the same mistake again. Who knows, it
could come out perfectly.
Louis, your attitude sucks balls (to quote your highly intelligent evaluation of moderators) - if you hate us so much, and have nothing useful to
contribute apart from insulting and criticising others, please go elsewhere.
