Candy lets the base color show through somewhat, so the car can get different effects when the sun hits it depending on what color the base and what color the candy. Three stage paint is harder to match and a bit harder to spray then just basecoat clearcoat.
Thank you so much for the reply. But can anyone let me know if this R81 on my 95 acura is indeed tri-coat or it will be fine to do 2 stage with akzo nobel.
