    First Candy Paint Street Job!

     



    I was always afraid to do candy paintwork for the street, since it is so hard to repair. We decided to use the logic of the factory jobs... and use a base as dark, or darker than the candy color. After shooting 8 color samples, we thought this belonged on a '60s inspired car.

    I already had to spot repair it, and it went very well... which is much better than a light base candy does!!!

    BTW It's a Hemi powered '38 Dodge... just so the name makes sense. :-)
