The paint is a candy tangerine over a high content metallic silver which was then covered in small silver flake.

[Mistress Maker]

very nice work.....how you getting on with the milling round corners!!! I know where to come when I want my trike repainting

[dixiethedog]

Blooming hell! Is that you Dave????? I was having a shed sort out the other week,and came across your rotary do dah! I nearly crapped me pants! Bugger I thought,id totally forgotten about that!:unsure:
Next,I fealt a terrible sense of guilt,and thought what to do next? It gets to the stage when youve borrowed something,and have forgotten its there,and then you want to return it,but feel like an arse cos youve forgotten.........
If it is you,ive got it,and want to return it!!! If you need any paint,im your man!:thumbu:

Dubmeister,if your confident to paint,use a 1.2 1.4 sized nozzle,and its straight forward in application.
This was my first candy paint job,and too be honest,i didnt really enjoy it,at first,but once i got a panel clearcoated,my mind changed.
I also worked out how to repair (invisible) a scratch in candy,which people say you cant do.:)
If you'd like to find out more,PM me and i'll tell you where i get my paints etc,and maybe you can get to work with a spray gun?:thumbsu:
