Using House of Kolor paints, It is started with 3 coats of BC25 (Black Base Coat) paint. Then 3 coats of KBC11 (Kandy Apple Red Base Coat) paint. The first coat of KBC11 just looks like you sprayed more back paint. It isn't until the third coat is applied do you actually have the color POP. Painting with Base coat Kandy paints is much easier than with painting a candy top coat with much less tiger striping (IMHO).

Many people paint Candys on top of Silver or Gold base coats, but mine is over black. You can not achieve the paint on black without a Base coat candy.

We painted a Trailer to match my Street rod and got pretty darn close to an exact match.
