Kandy paint is like painting a car with 4x the materials.....all the materials cost me $695 dollars, and i paid the painter i know $750 to shoot it, cuz its time consuming, and u have to be good with the paint guy..so a total of about $1400+


edit=paint guy=paint gun* gun* sorry lol

The painter does the sanding n stuff also, all the minor dings n dents before the paint, he sands it n all, hes not really a good prepper though, if i take closer shots of my car, theres some defects, but other than that, he sands it, tapes everything up, n shoots the paint, and another reason why its cheap, my door jams are teal green like the color i first had my teg lol, and the engine bay and inside the trunk lid are still teal green.....you cant tell from the pic, but only the outside of the car was painted

Nice paint, but it seems like the front bumper's paint is darker than the fenders? (in the 1st pic)

Yea the front bumper is a little bit darker than the fenders, but you can't really tell in person...kandy paint already comes mixed for you, the reason that happened was because the bumpers were painted 2 days after the car was painted, theres alotta factors with that, temperature changes, shooting kandy to closely, too far, thas why it happened..one of the minor defects

no, because you still have the sides (that are not bad) and rear (that is just as bad as the front), IMO i think it will look worse with a lip'd front and still ricey side/rear.
