If you're dead set on spraying it yourself, a dark basecoat may be a *little easier. Spray the base black or black mettalic. (For example) Maroon kandy over black base for black cherry. Candies need flawless bodywork to look right. Do yo have bodywork experience?

•not much easier, just a little.

Sounds discouraging HUH? It's not impossible, improbable maybe, but not impossible. Try it , nothing ventured nothing gained. Do some small jobs or test panels to see if you can develop a knack for spraying Kandies. Get comfortable spraying the stuff before you spend time and the big bucks for enough material to do an entire vehicle. Keep us posted...
