Candy Paints or Pearl/Metallic Paints?

Should I go with candy or a pearl/metallic choice thats as close to the candy as I can get?

Candy Pros:
1.) Beautiful Color
2.) Exactly the colors I want
3.) Good quality Paint

Candy Cons:
1.) Cost of Paint
2.) Cost of Labor
3.)If messed up, harder to 'fix'

I'd go with the candy, that's the only way to make it really stand out at the car show's. Plus since it's not your daily driver you can take really good care of it.

Let me translate for those that don't speak pig-latin, lol.

"Since this is not your DD, I say go with candy."

After decifering, I agree :thumbsup:.

it's really a modified pearl, still a nice paint (it's an original style candy which uses real pearl)
