Kandy Kolors...what's your favorite if you were buying

Planning is everything in a build of a rod or kustom. I'm committed to painting my truck in a true kandy with an off white (Wimbledon white) frame, interior, and some details here n there. Here's the thing...this is not the end-all kustom for me. While I love it, have a vision for it, and plan for it to be perfect, it will one day be sold. I love kandy green. Perhaps one of the best era colors for a kustom as well. But will it sell?

Blue is wrong for it all together. Gold might work. Perhaps a true kandy apple red? If you had the dough, wanted a super AD Chevy kustom truck detailed in every way, what color would roll your socks down? It has to be a kandy paint as I don't think any opaque colors will highlight the body and fender features as well. Your opinions are welcome.

 

Medium green, close to the Alexander Brothers shop truck "The Grasshopper" but a bit lighter. A gold color underneath instead of silver would do it for me.

 

I love candy pagen Gold... it rules... over that HOK titanium real flake its crazy...

Candy apple red over gold flake is the shit- but 8-10 coats of candy so at night it looks like brandywine- but in the sun it glows bright and deep-

I'd spray your frame in off white and coat it with silver pearl in clear base/ then clear it... thats period pearl white-

those are my favorites.

 

I've always been in love with Kandy Black. But then I've always favored black in all of it's rich tones. Someone recently told me that there are OTHER colors than black, obviously someone blind or mentally challenged.

I'm doing my 62 Buick in Candy Lime with some lace panels in another color green. I love HOC candy lime.

 

why not take a couple of yer fav HOK kolors and mix a lil of this w/a lil of that & a drop of that over there...make yer own krazy kandy kolor......def go with a green color though with that white frame that would look pretty cool...just my $0.02 for what it's worth

 

I have to agree I did the motor in my 53 Chev with HOK pagan Gold and flake it rocks..I would love to see the Red sounds wicked !

 

heres a pic of C/apple over HOK F-15 flake on the roof of my old 60 El Camino-
over gold flake is where its at...

 

another good one...

ROOT BEER...
root beer candy over gold or silver flake all out rules. It looks like copper in the sunlight-

 

they don't call it resale red for no reason,
I'd go with brandywine over gold base, and
leave the frame etc gold. personally I hate
red, but dammit it sells better than any other
color.

 

haha... so true...
I guess I did sell my camino right after I painted the roof?

 

oriental blue over heavy white pearl.....theres a local car that was done like this back in the 70's.......bitchin ride.....but showed the tell tale signs of a 70's laquer candy job.....but still bitchin.....or is that just shiny car patina.....lol brandon



another favorite......candy lime gold....like the testor spray paint....

 

Organic Green from HOK over a silver flake is absolutely the shit.

 

yes it is ....the dash in my first a was like that......shimmered like a bass boat on the river.....lol.....brandon

 

HOK Pagan Gold with the gold base..........
Looks bright gold in the sun, but when the sun goes down looks like a burnt gold.

 

I like Kandy Tangerine. That might look pretty good

 

HI here is a couple of pic of my merc and the 57 olds I did for john d agostinothis year, Both cars are hok,hope that helps Later Oz

 

for some reason it wont let me download the pic, Ill try later

 

I guess I'm not the only one that likes green. OZ, I saw the Merc in the LaSalle thread. Outstanding. If I did red it'd be similar to the "Gable" Packard, maybe.

 

my last one was candy wineberry over pure gold flake,..looked great,....but honestly, I think you could make a turd look great covered in candys of any shade!

 

Here is a link to Riksters album of your merc:

And Gable for good measure:

If I was payin', red would be the first color to lighten my wallet. Candy blue would be a close second.

Doc.

 

Correct me here if needed...the Caddy looks to be over a silver base and the Packard over gold. I know they're 'net pics and not dead-on true. That Merc is gettin it done.

 

kinda close the cad is wine over a dark gray base
the packard is wine over a almost black pearl base
later oz

 

My favorite, of all the ones I've done......Brandywine, over galaxy gray base, with a tiny bit of gold miniflake mixed into the first 2 coats of candy.

 

I sprayed PPG O So Sexy on my old truck. gold base with a dark red candy.

 

Brandy over the gold flake would be tits up! My 1st choice. About the green, I've heard green is one of the toughest color to sell.

 

Purple Candy like the Chevy on this links...

I really love that color
