oh n jenna do i have 2 call him directly?

Prob best if you speak to him personally, as if he knows that you know me, you will get a better deal. He always looks after me and my mates.

sorry been really busy these days....candy job huh?They are great fun to do :D.Most of the motorcycles that we repair are candy colours......Candy's are what you call a monumeric colour Most have a silver metallic ground coat underneath...although what i like to do is lay a ground coat metallic colour thats close to the colour that i am chasing....eg if i want a yellow candy i make a yellow metallic pearl colour thats almost the same as the original colour inside the shop(you can never get the effect that candy colours give by trying to cheat with pearls/metallics...what happens is you can make the colour to look right under fluro light but under sun light its complety wrong or vise verser)then i will spray it out on a test card and wave coat by coat of the correct candy thats been broken down with clear and thinners....after each coat i check to see if i can get the correct flip in colours....when i have got it right i note the amounts of candy that has been applied to the card and transfer it to the job at hand......its a very lengthy process and one spec of dust in a candy job spells dissaster....the dust breaks the surface tension and candy pools to the low spot leaving a dark ring in the job.....A candy job really sorts out the men from the boys.....

yeah im gonna hold off for a while n def get a candy job done

thanx for the reply 2 troy i understand ur busy, u know 2 much!

wat i was gonna get is the silver metallic base with the gold metallic colour put on top... was using the House OF Kolor books to decide...
