spray can version of candy apple green?

[ryan68bug]

Just looking for a good aerosol can version of candy apple green paint? Just wondering what's available out there and what folks recommend for a quality rattle can respray. Working on my Toyoco project and want to try to preserve the original color as close as possible.

I bought a duplicolor burnt orange metallic spray paint from them, it turned out great.vyou have to bury the pain in clear to get it to really pop. They might have a green I can't remember.

Krylon X metals has a candy green color. sold at walmarts..

Thanks, guys! For a quickie recondition and not necessarily full on respray, how would you recommend I prep the frame? It doesnt' look terrible, just a bit used and in need of some refurbishing... If I have to sand it all down and start from scratch, so be it, but for a minor cosmetic refurbish I was just curious what my options are...

I would scruff the paint with some find sandpaper then spray a couple coats of a high build primer then I'd wet sand the primer until it's nice and smooth. That's what I did with my minibike and it turned out pretty good.

With any candy color you need a silver base coat first.. if your paint is nice, just wipe it down with a scotch pad to rough up the paint.. or a steelwool pad with soap & water..
heres a link to the paint i'm talking about. most walmarts sell it

Just pressed it on there. It's a tight fit, one smack with a rubber mallet and it ain't going anywhere.:hammer::thumbsup:

You're trying to match the green on it now, and not doing the whole thing?

not to take away from the original question..........
gbones , another cool chevy orange color they use in the early 70's that was very close to the corvette burnt orange was the 1972 camaro flame orange, code 65........:thumbsup:
