I got a 79 chevy truck C-10 that I just had painted candy red, well it cost me about $8800 but it is sharp as hell and it is worth it, candy is so much cause the paint is expensive aout $300 a quart, and you have to lay down a base coat and then go over it and there is so much labor involved, you can't stop in the middle of painting you have to walk the whole length of the vehicle or when you overlap your paint it will be darker, candy paint is ver transparent and hard as hell to blend in right.

Can the public buy straight out from HOK ? , or gotta be a shop, or dealer, or somethin?

Also, is there any other people like HOK, that are kind of known, or anything,... for custom paints, and such?
