Premium Quality Candy Paint At Amazing Prices

Candy paint is typically offered in a relatively small number of colors because it's easily customized. For example, transparent candy paint is applied on top of a reflective basecoat that's typically silver or gold, but can be any color. By combining different basecoat colors with different transparent candy colors, an infinite number of colors are possible.

Likewise, with candy concentrates, any paint can be dyed to create a custom color.

The cost of a candy paint job is largely based on the application process: An artistic process that includes several layers of taping and painting along with graphic effects and customizations can easily cost $30-$50k dollars.

However, a good quality activated or pearlized candy paint job can cost anywhere from $2,500 to $15,000, depending on how much additional body work may need to be done and the availability in your market.

Of course, the best way to find out how much a paint job will cost is to get a quote from your local painter.

Finally, remember that buying quality paint from TheCoatingStore (instead of buying it thru your local painter) can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Like anything, the longevity of your paint job will come down to care. If you can keep your vehicle parked indoors, avoid weather, and keep the surface clean the paint will last longer.  Candy paints are more sensistive to sun fading than typical automotive paints so keep them in a garage or covered with a UV blocking car cover when not in use to maximize life.  Furthermore, using the UreChem glamour clear provides more protection than most other clear coats due to the high UV absorber content in the glamour clear.

Because candy paint is so popular, it's easy to buy from several places.

While we're obviously a little biased, our recommendations are:

1. Buy direct from the manufacturer. Paint resellers and paint shops typically charge several hundred dollars more than manufacturers. Our site is the retail division of UreChem paint - when you buy from us you're buying manufacturer direct.
2. Buy from a reputable company. If you're not sure about how reputable a company is, check out their reviews. Our reviews are excellent, and there are a few other companies with great reviews as well.
3. Beware of marketplace paint retailers. Marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, and Walmart can be a great place to find good deals (we've been selling our products on eBay for years), but they're also rife with counterfeit or shoddy products, unfortunately. If the product you find on Amazon or eBay isn't sold by a reputable company, it's probably not worth the risk of a bad paint job.

There's an old expression that's especially true about paint: The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

No one wants to spend thousands of dollars on a paint job that starts to look terrible in a few months.
