Projects Color question

Does anyone know who owns this car that was at Detroit Autorama ? Or know what color he used? Thanks

 

Don't know the car, but on my screen the color looks near to 60s GM Honduras Maroon. One of my favorites.

 

Can't help with the color either, but it is knock your eyes out beautiful and the pinstriping is extraordinary.

 

Just found out that this car was built at Bob Fryz Kustoms located in Detroit. He does all the Shboom cadillacs. Have no contact info. If someone knows him or has contact info would be appreciated . Would still love to find out what color this is before I paint my car it would be great thanks

 

notaford1 just goooo0oogled Fryz Kustoms and came up with a load of info including Shboom
Cadillacs.

Take a look at the OT PU top
Right of the pic, looks like the same color from the distance.

 

I know the owner Bob Fryz. It was painted by Boogieman. I see him every Thursday night. I'll find out.

 

If that is the "Root Beer Float" Cadillac; that would be a hint.

 

Having taken a lot of photos under that type of lighting you are seeing a shift from the real color so what the car looks like in person is totally different. Root Beer is more brown in person and these images are looking a bit redder so take that in to consideration

 

That would be fantastic!! Thank you

 

Not same car. This one is 48 ford. Front end is white with red flames Although that is a cool color also

 

I texted Boogie and he says it is House of Kolor Candy Brandywine.

 

The base can change the final look as y'all might know. I have an old HOK color book that shows each Kandy over each base offered. This can be a big deal, a "no room for error" decision. Hint, if it's the color more than the effect there's options. HOK also has Kandy basecoat which removes a lot of "risk" in gettin what appears to be kandy the hard way. It too can change over selcted bases. More if anyone wants, I'll see if I can find my book later.

 

He also wrote "gold days" but I don't know what that means. But sounds like Highlander might.

 

Transparent candy over a silver or gold base. Base will change the color, number of candy coats will definitely change the color.
If there's ever a paint issue or damage, just plan on shooting the whole car.

If you're able to shoot it yourself, go for it, if you have someone else do it, better have good communication.

 

NO CUTTING IN! Now that I said that some will notice the dark edges on some true candy cars, even from some "stars" of the custom world back in the day. There's a few tricks and secrets to getting it right, not the least of which is spot on body work. Any low spots on the horizontal surfaces, the top coat will pool there and be darker. Any slight "gravel" in the metallic, it will soak and be darker. Get a cramp in your mojo while spraying and stop the gun for just a moment, light spot. Can I do it? Sure, but no thanks. Maybe a bike, a part, but a whole car? Not me. Props to the guys who've mastered it and they have my utmost professional respect.

 

Thanks Moriarty, that makes more sense.

 

Yes,it is. Very good looking.

 

Thanks for that much appreciated !

 

I'm digging the striped taillight lenses.

 

I tried real candy……once.

 

Yes I agree. I had a feeling it was going to be a candy color. I had originally painted my sedan candy cobalt blue. Was a huge pain and color faded in just 4 years. Then I just went with a nice stock blue color. I guess I’ll keep trying to zero in on a similar stock color to that nice deep red wine tone

 

That 61 is real real cool. Beautiful car Mark. I never get tired of seeing it. Mark I had a friend eons ago that had a 61 like yours, chrome reverse wheels but wasn't lowered, but it was aqua like my 62. It had white interior. He always kept it waxed up and spotless. At night coming down main street it just sparkled under the lights.

 

HOK does Kandy Basecoat (KBC) that is a regular bc/cc paint that is supposed to mimic their Candy colors without the issues of spraying a true candy. They do their Brandywine colour in that line so you probably won't find anything closer than that without spraying the actual candy.

 

^^^^Pretty colorfast too.^^^ Doesn't fade that I've seen.
