RE: kandy paint
Hell yeah, its ALOT of trail and error no matter how much you read you need practise to get things perfect, nothing is impossible but it does take loads of time and patience I have spent about 60+ hours stripping, sanblasting, fillinf, sanding and primering. Its insane how much time it takes. As for cost so far with all paper and primer I am at 650 Canadian for all PPG products. Paint and clear will be about that much as well.

RE: kandy paint
mine is going to be at the 200dollar range since i got th ehok stuff for free. as for painting the jambs its really choice but most people do them first. my boss always does the door jambs last on his kandy jobs. it will take a 2-3 day normally to prep a car depending on the body work needed. its not that hard of a project it just takes alot of patience and practice . what kinda of gun do u have? and air compressor and filter for the compressor so it doesnt get contaminents through the air supply

I would really like to get a new HVLP gun but haven't really been in the "loop" when it comes to new ways of doing things.
That's my story. Any advice on a new gun? Also, you shooting around 40psi or no?? I know alot of guys are shooting lower...

RE: kandy paint
Basecoat/Clearcoat would be a 2 stage paint.
You can get single stage paints that are just as nice, but one of the downfalls is that you can't buff it out/colorsand it as much as you would be able to a 2 stage. 2 stage paint jobs are alot more because you can really work the paint surface down to a mirror and the same thing for the clearcoat.
The single stage paints can be less expensive though.
