YUKISM Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Well first there is no such thing as candy black. What is black that looks candy called,would it have to have another color added to it to make it candy? I had seen a pic of a F150 (I think thats what it was)that said it was candy painted black with a splash of red.I was a black cherry color(Lookin' REALLY nice) leaning more towards black.

therattrodder Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 That's you. I imagine you don't have a shop that you paint at? So you don't have the overhead a shop would have like paying employees, rent, electric, water, keeping paints and chemicals in stock, advertising, etc. A decent candy job will cost you upwards of $6,000 IMO. Maybe some other places charge less because of more competition, but around here there aren't to many places to go. Actually I do have a shop that I paint at. It's not my shop but a buddy of mine owns it and lets me use it nights/weekends. I won't do candy paint actually. I stick with strictly single stage and base/clear. A good candy takes a whole 'nother level of skill to lay it down properly and honestly....I don't like doin all the extra work that comes with doin candy. I don't even like to color sand/buff but I will because it makes such a difference. If it were up to me I'd just do the painting and let someone else do the rest lol.

Planet Color, in their Barrett Jackson line, makes a tri stage black that's pretty damn decent looking. You lay down your black base coat then follow up with a clear midcoat that has pearl added to it. Not terribly expensive and honestly it looks pretty damn good.

YUKISM Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 ^^^ That "Black Cherry Pearl" would be my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the Black Cherry Pearl as well and it looks damn good if applied properly and color sanded after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YUKISM Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Well I went to check some shops out today.2 places said the didn't do candy,one place quoted me $12,000 and that was "Because you don't need any body work",and another place was "Around $10,000+" but when he showed me some pics,IMO I could have done better with a few cans of Krylon,LOL. Unless I take a road trip to Florida or something I'm gona have to put this idea on hold,for now at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
