Hey man I hope you're not going to try to spray a REAL HOK Kandy with NO knowledge of how to spray a candy color, the stuff is kinda pricy and you have to know what you are doing, if not you will tiger stripe it for sure, you fog on a candy not spray it like regular paint...remember it's a tint not a base so the more you spray the more the color will differ so you cant overlap the coats.

Oh and I would not shoot it with anything less than a good SATA gun with the right tip

Lol. I was going to advise that you should get someone that has experience with candy colors to actually put the tint on it. Candy is NOT the type of paint to learn on. I'd say you can do the silver or white base, though. A proper paint booth is "required" for the tint too, because of the lighting.

Other threads that were posted after this have indicated that im going for redfire metallic because it is cheaper and easier to paint.

Even redfire is a three stage paint. the third stage, the tint is whats going to be hard for you and you NEED to spray it in a booth, go to a shop and see if the painter will do a side job...I know I used to

OOps sorry I was thinking of E9 laser red, if it's any two stage color, shoot it your self, you wont get runs on the base coat and if you get a small run on the clear you can always color sand and buff
