Sorry no digital pics, its hard to match a black that goes with the vibrance of the candy and purely comes done to a personal preference
It had the GT style stripe down the bonnet, my painter wanted to go with a flat black, I wanted gloss black, thing was neither really matched
Candy coloured cars look great but totally unpracticle on a regulary driven vehicle, a bit of advice don't do it, leave it for motor cycle fuel tanks

Plus with every coat of candy the colour/depth changes. It does look very nice though.
My wife used to have a candy LH and the bonnet flew up on the bruce highway. Was a pain to fix.

Because the candy is transparent you could paint the hole car silver, do all the blackouts and then put the candy over everything.
I've always wanted to do that to a Torana but that's way to much work for me.

Plus the painter wanted to put as few candy coats down as possible, I guess to lessen the chances of stuffing up the paint job
Where you overlap the paint on a panel it will show up as a darker colour in the sun light.... if that makes sense
Few painters in Cairns would even take on the job
