neil @ maxpower used to own this, bloomin lovely in the flesh, candy blue im sure if i remember rightly, full karnage kit,
Pop along to halfords they do this paint now, and mix it up on the spot, or can get from a proper supplier also!
halfords have got many colours tho worth a look!!!!

yeah might do. i know someone who can get me paint at trade price. And he will possibly spray it for me in his garage over a series of weeks. Hes a proffesional sprayer. I'd jsut pay for paint and the a nice amount for him spending the time to do it
just need to know the paint i need and what method is need. so is it just one colour that is sprayed ontop to do that?

if i remember rightly this colour needs a base paint (like rage paints) im sure this colour needs a base paint of silver!!
i know halfords aint the best for info but as its a new product im sure they will be able to help u out fully!
nice one with the mate doing it, always nice to be in the know!!

rofl.
so its not kandy apple blue iirc by house its Cobolt Blue House of Kolor Kandy! Is House of kolor a company? would i have to get it from them or would halfords be just as good? what would i be looking at to pay for a litre?
Would it be expensive in all to buy the silver base coat and the candy to go ontop?
i might have to pop into halfords and have a look at the colours they do when i get the chance. busy with exams this week
