I have a price of $1,800.00 for KANDY in my area North Carolina. That was for spare set of panels plus labor if I don't change them of $200.00. This was thru the dealers body shop. I am going to get another price.

Stupid question, but what is KANDY?

Oldtimers called this Candy Apple paint. Very deep rich look in all colors of the rainbow.

I got a quote of $800 from Edison smart center to paint my extra set. Why is KANDY double the price? Thanks, Regina

Multi-step base coat sand, first color coat sand, and on and on lot of labor. Problem is these are show paints for the most part can't touch them up. BUT!!!! they are beautiful to look at.

not just the panels, the entire car. I don't want the shell to be silver or black, that would look stupid. I need the whole car to be Kandy. Bumpers, everything.
