I was looking at smartshoppersinc.com and saw kirker came out with a candy paint line. I've used the primer and it works very well.... but havent had the chance to try any of their paints, and i'm interested how this candy paint would look... so anyone with the balls to try this stuff, post some pics

I used PPG clear for the topcoats, cuz of the UV protection. Cut and buffed, put all my trim back on and put the teal phantom top on.



hey also.how does that paint flow.is it easy coverage.does it lay down nice.is it user friendly or is it just like hok

Anyone use Kirkers 2K Primer/Surfacer? If so, how good is it? How is the coverage and shrinkage?

I am going to be spraying out their Quick Silver Base on my VW. I want to see how well thier paint shoots, and this is the sacraficial vehicle for all that. :biggrin:

Hard to see but the top also has green pearl.. it was a last minute *bam* to kick it up a bit lol

and there you have it guys.. conclusion.. kirker candy works.. but I'm sticking to HOK.. there is a defrence and though the car overall came out good, HOK candy has more of a.. well I don't know how to say it except it's more "candylike" lol.. but still you can still have a descent candy paint job with kirker and it's also perfect for beginners.

^^^Impala were born to 3 wheel mayng ..... Just need the right weight - Even with a 2 pump - they were Born to 3 ..........





What up Mi Estilo ? Car looks good ....... I Like the 3-d effect on the sail panels.....


You can tell the differences in kandy between other companies.... I like PPG's radience Indy Green color..... Not a catalized candy color but it os a transparet mid coat .... I have that going on my 51 truck.
