Hello,
I am building a 72 race car and need to pick a color. The wife wants candy apple red but this is my first attempt at painting and everyone says it to hard to paint. Anybody know a paint code for a bacse clear coat thats close to a candy apple red or am I just screwed? Vince |

BigDan3131,Dryseals
Both of your suggestions interest me but the easier the better. This is the first time for bodywork and paint. I got a sample of Flame red from Dupont it's way to orange. The car is very close to paint and I really need to make a decision. I will check on the brilliant red next week. How hard are tri coats to paint? We are willing to pay for the right color but if it's out of my league i may stick to something simple? Vince |

That color looks like my '81 TA.
Color code is L77, sometimes called Dark Maple Metallic

I could help you out with some codes. I have available to me formulas of custom BC/CC reds that were matched to true candy's and are very hard to distinguish from the real thing.

I hope those of you who have been helping him are steering him into a Solid red shade and not a pearl or metalic.First timers should stick with solid colors till they get used to painting.How much of a budget did you set aside for the paint?if its alot you might want to look into House of Kolors Candy Basecoats.It shoots like a normal base but gives that regular candy look.

Thanks Miker129
First time painting. I sure have learned allot and I also have a new respect for the time an effort people put into body and paint not to leave out color sanding and polishing.
