from what I understand it's like a transparent paint... when putting it on a car I think it's a tri-coat method where you have a metallic or some sort of base coat and apply the kandy on top of it...

Some of House of Kolor's Kandy's are $200 / gallon or $53 per quart.. HoK can get pricey. They've got 20 different type of Kandy paints

Well since this topic was edited and I did make the NEW one and the informative link I posted got deleted

here is a place that Chromes plastic to get that unique look:

www.thechromedome.com

Just got off the phone with them and they said that the work they did for Mr. tib was in aluminum and if we wanted plastic it would be a lot more expensive. They are taking that part of their site down because it costs too much money and is too labor intensive for them to maintain. They said we can have a local company Chrome instead then Kandy it.

Sorry guys.

Sorry about that, I was going to cut and paste yours and Supermanshark's posts in there but I deleted the thread too soon on accident.

I forgot we have that damned merge function.
