This past weekend didnt go as welll as planned. The plan was to finish prepping the engine bay and put some rust encapsulator on it and paint. But i realized the rust damage under the battery was just to bad to even think about painting over it. So in about two weeks im going to haul the car to the body man and have him replace the inner fender peice there. He has 2 cars he needs to get out of his shop first or i'd bring it to him now.
But this gives me 2 weeks to pick the paint color also. Which this kind of works out better because he really wants to paint the engine bay the same color i am going to paint the car. So it saves us some us some work but not money. He said not to worry he's not going to charge me that much for it. He's a pretty good guy. Ok i can get any kind of paint job i want. But the basic metallics i've seen dont look good except from house of kolor with the bigger flakes and the way the paint almost flops. So im considering going with a Kandy paint job. A kandy red even, although the paint guy seems dead set against red but like he said its my car and he'd paint it pink if i wanted.
So what do you guys think of a Kandy red paint job. One thing about kandy paint jobs are that if i ever get a scratch the only way to fix it is to repaint the entire car. With the other types of paint its not that critical and be matched. What do you think?
