i've done 2 kandy jobs its not that bad...keep the coats light and even i did 2 coats silver base (some like to use black) 4 light coats of kandy color ( if you get a run you have to sand the whole side with the same grit and re-due dont just sand one spot you will se it), 3 coats of clear came out good...keep the coats as even as possible and dont do a drop coat(final mist) like you do for metalics.
