What is the difference between candy paint and regular paint jobs...price too?

I'll try to give you the quick and easy description.





Normal paint jobs are 2 stage.... base color and clear coat.


Candy paint jobs are 3 stage..... base color, translucent candy color, and clear coat.





Cost deference is great.


Candy paint jobs start around $4000 and can go up as high as $10k


Thy do require more materials, longer work time, but mostly you are paying for the skill. There are very few painters that can do a descent candy job.What is the difference between candy paint and regular paint jobs...price too?
Alot more mixing and matching paint is involved with the differences of base and metallic paints. I should know my brother own's a Body Shop.What is the difference between candy paint and regular paint jobs...price too?
The difference in a candy paint job and a standard one is the with the regular paint job you just have a base color covered with a clear coat. But the candy job consist of a base color covered by a semi transparent mid coat which gives the candy paint its deep color then finally it is clear coated. Expect to pay a good bit more for the candy job since there is a lot more work involved and the paint is more expensive. Hope this helps
Candy paints are very expensive and look way better than standard paint jobs.
