hotrodpaint- the car will be a weekend cruiser for the most part. if i paint it candy apple i know i will want to put the car in a bubble in my garage and never take it out, but i will slowly learn to deal with chips.

i have been trying to convince myself i like some of the metallic maroon colors that are coming out on new cars, but none of them have the same pop as a true candy color. i would like the car a dark shade of candy apple so maybe i would want a gold base. the reason i ask is i saw a mopar painted candy apple with a silver base and it was dark, but it was also a little overcast out so i knew that was part of it. is there a way to make it much darker than a normal shade or does anyone have a dark red candy color?
