i used candy orange before. first i had to lay 2-3 coats of silver then depending on what shade you want 4-6 coats of transparent tinted candy color than clear. i really dony think it is worth all the exta money and work when you can get a similar color in two stage, also if the candy coats are not perfictly even it will be very noticable

Candy Apple Red?

But seriously, I think you would be better off using a red with a pearl coat. 69camaro is right, ever see a car with shitty tint coats?

Candy apple red goes over a gold base coat. Slowly apply the candy until you get the red to the darkness you like, then clear.
