candy colours, sure their not metalics

right heres my opinon ;D metal flake is nothin like candy. metal flake is big lumps of silver in the lacquer. cany is coloured lacquer sprayed over silver or gold. i paint my bikes myself and as it happens i painted my early 90's hawk this week..... stripped it with morse, sprayed etch primer, sprayed 2pac ducati silver left over from a guy at my work diong his monster. so at this point it was silver, i wanted it to be black but lok funky in the sunlight so i mixed up some clear 2pac lacquer and chucked loads of pantone ink in it. the ink is black(red) the black inks in their range come as different colours ie: black red, black green, black violet etc... if you put some on a bi of paper it loks black but if you put it on a bit of perspex and holdit up to the light you can see the colour. so anyway, i put a couple of coats on of my red black clear lacquer over the silver and hung it up to dry... the bike looked black and i thought i might have put too much ink in. when i held it in the sunlight it glowed a deep dark metalic candy red. to say it looks amazing is an understatement. its exactly as i planned and hoped, i dont think photos will do it justice but it should make an appearence at MK.. sorry about the essay, just thought you lot might be interested. :daumenhoch: joe
