so don't go to a powder coaters!
go to a paint supplier (proper car paint) and get it mixed up into a noddy can for a few quid

i could get it done for you if your ever down there.
- or just let you know where it is.
my little secret though, its so cheap! and they do a great job, and will redo for free if they messup.

Who do you use Jesus?
I normally use Powder Coatings on the Tyburn Rd £30 to blast & coat.
Always good to know any options.

place I use is defo cheaper, even for candy colours I think.
they call them "special pearlscent" colours and are a 2 coat job, looks like candu when done.
matt:
i might get shot here guys but candy is not a colour it is the manufactures name, you can not powder proper candy products as they are only supplied in wet paint, many people rip them off saying that it is candy apple red etc but it aint, the finish of candy paints has metal flex in it to give it the metalic kind of finish. When you put two frames together one in candy colours and any other there is a big difference. Im sure the panel beaters will com out and crucify me now
