It will take a couple of weeks because of other commitments, plus it allows for the paint to really dry out.

    Inspired by these

    thats candy apple dedman if you want a red closer to candy apple you can get color Shanghai Red you can get it in 1 350m tin is pretty darn close to a candy apple can also get a candy apple in the small tin 150ml but will need 2 to do a body if you want at shoot colour with a gun its a cat 4 color due to the mica and pearl in it so expect a hefty price you can shoot the color with a can and shoot to clear in a gun and do a flo coat and it will look amazing just off the gun.

    if you want to do clear over base like the original expect $250 to $350 for paint only, just try to help ded 👍

    Well, IIRC, the rattlecan said "Camel Yellow", but a friend dubbed it "Wino Piss".
    Seemed more apt to me.

    That's the way I paint everything Phrozin

    the picture was more about the style than the colour, Candy is too expensive for me!

    Despite the different colour, you'll still need to stand with your legs wide apart to play it. It's mandatory.

    Wear it low enough and you find you have no choice anyway.
