Default Brandy-wine paint....

I know this isn't a tech question, but I'm getting to repaint my car...... I want something really different from the normal magnetic reds or blues. I saw a car painted with what the owner called "brandy-wine candy". He didn't have any information on the makeup of the paint. Anyone heard of this color or where I can get a sample?

Go to a dealer that handles the " House of Kolor" line of paint.

Final color of the paint is determined by the color of the base coat. If you use gold, it'll be like Kandy apple except darker. If you use silver, it'll brighten it up. If you use black, it'll come out like a dark black cherry. These are over white just to give you an idea.

Very Cool paint and would look sharp!

Here's the House of Kolor site.
