Is there a site or some kind of catalog I can get that shows different shades of paints like Candy's I want to paint my truck a candy red but I want to make sure which shade before I go to do it in the spring.

best bet is to go into your local paint supply store and get actual real life color samples. cause lookin at paint over the internet is just plain stupid...

There are not alot of different shades of candy red. The way it appears different shades is in how it is applyed. Candy is a transparent base. So the more coats you put over your base color the darker it will be.

Yeah, you should probably get a let down panel/card sprayed, which will show the difference between the number of coats that are applied.

I'm actually still going there. Just got done with collision/refinishing so I'm halfway done, and now onto the real reason why I'm going there; Chassis Fab and then Trim and Upholstry. You're right, it's a pretty kickass school.

Thats cool. I took collision/refinishing and then sheetmetal fab. It was awsome. Who are your collision instructors?
