I want to paint my tank and side covers Candy Ruby Red and would like to know how many Ounces it will take.

Much Thanks!

Are there some Boyz hanging out on the street corner in your neighborhood sellin' that good stuff by the ounce. Pick me up one of its good            Remember though with that paint you need the correct base color and other goodies. Usually comes in a kit.

Hey wish there were selling by the oz!  These guys seem to want me to purchase an entire brick. 


I know the kits like vintagehondapaint.com or ct70paint.com look really nice, but if you got to paint a few tanks looks like the cost could add up.  I alreay got some DBC500, hardner, white/silver pearls for the base so if I could just get the right candy I would be able to save some money by repainting a few tanks at the same time.

Alsa Corp also has blood red concentrate that can be added into the DBC500 to make candy. 1 oz per quart.

Is this a feasible idea, or is there just no way to save money on a candy paint job.
