Why are these candy paints so cheap compared to house of kolor or PPG??

Trying to justify the amount of money on materials and ran across this today...

Thanks

Someone from LIL offered this product instead of HOK...Ever heard or worked with this?

Candy= Sem universal candy concentrate, you just mix it with some clear. I used hok and ppg radiance both are good but the sem gives you the same results with way less cost. One pint should be enough to do a interga with jambs trunk and hood. It cost me about 30-35 dollars. Heres there website it dont tell you much about the paint though <a href="http://www.semproducts.com/." target="_blank">http://www.semproducts.com/.</a>

all kandy concetrates fade quickly, and dont have a deep shine.

UCYI3WL · 01-19-2003, 05:38 AM

Is there anything you recommend for a deep and non-fadable kandy?? Is there a type of painting system that would be better than kandy for getting the deep, wet look??

Thanks for the help this guys

Actually there is nothing to replace or change the way the original house of kolor kandy looks, always remember you get what you pay for.

There is a guy out in cali at Salmanzanocustoms.com. He is coming to Florida to paint my 66, and he says that he uses a similar product that has won several awards including Lowrider of the year. More than anything it is the person that lays it down.
