The real way of achieving a candy coat is spraying a translucent coat over a silver or gold etc,
Depends on youre budget but if you want good results go with HOK they are the candy masters.
Thanks for the advice man, like I said, I know pretty much nothing about paint, lol. I dont think I'm gonna bother going with candy anyway, not till I turn it into an all out show truck. For now I think I'll just go with metallic or something. I just want it to look good enough to take to shows and turn heads, but since it's still my DD, I dont wanna take a chance on candy...btw I been following your build thread, you do some amazing work!! Cant wait to see how it turns out
