hey yall i need KANDY chart. the base color chart the marblizer chart and the pearl chart. thanks
TY, I must say though, the scanned copies do the real chips absolutly no justice. They do give an accurate picture of the color under direct light though. If there is a HOK dealer near you, go there after you pick some colors and take their book out in the sun... it will help greatly when looking for a specific look.Originally posted by BuThatsaCHRYSLER@Jul 23 2003, 11:13 PM
YOURE AWESOME!!
from everything that I have tried with them that is correct... but I have gotten the best results with them by using a metallic basecoat first and then pearl over it. They do cover enough though to get the color shown over a white base. They change colors as well, but they do it like a pearl does... it is really hard to explain, but it is like the top of the paint changes as you move it. The lake violette pearl for instance from one angle is blue, but from another angle it is purple. It isn't a dramatic change like kameleons but more of a change depending on the light source. That is why the GTO in XXX looks like a different color in every shot.. each shot has different lighting.Originally posted by BuThatsaCHRYSLER@Jul 23 2003, 11:26 PM
also these pearls all turn out the same color with a white basecoat right? i mean if i went with white base and 2-3 layers of th paint it would just get darker do to the multiple layers not the base..right?

Have you ever sprayed these before? I am just curious cuz you seem to be talking about something completely different. You seem to be talking about a dry pearl that gets mixed in paint or clear, like this:Originally posted by sabre@Jul 23 2003, 11:46 PM
a darker colour base will dramatically change the colour of a pearl compared to over white and could sometimes really degrade the colour effect ,, and over a mettalic base you would loose alot of colour on the flash ,, due to the brightness of the mettalic underneath ..
stick to the base they specify and you will get the same colour ..
durable to what, like UV or more durable to chipping? The clear is what determines how durable the paint is to chipping... but if you read through the tech book for different paints, some of them fade more easily than others. Neons for instance fade much quicker than other types of basecoats. It is much like getting a tattoo, when exposed to the sun, the color will break down and eventually fade, but if you protect it as best you can you can prevent most of it. Some colors though, like light blue, will fade quicker than others, it is all a matter of what kind of color it is and how well it is protected.Originally posted by BuThatsaCHRYSLER@Jul 24 2003, 12:28 AM
would you say that a kandy is more durable than a pearl?
lol ,, thats what I work with ,, I develope paints for a major paint company using the latest technology in pigments and colorants ,,Originally posted by simple me@Jul 24 2003, 03:20 PM
My father in law thought the same thing, he has been refinishing cars for a long time, 30 some years, and he had only heard of that kind of pearl. The designer pearls though are different, they have platelettes in the that turn a slightly different color in certain lighting. That is why they are a pearl, yet they can be used over a primer, and then cleared making them a nice alternative to a basic paintjob. I have seen a lot of people use them as a base, and then kandy over them to get a very nice finished product.
