Thread: candy paint kits from minitrail still available?

has anyone ordered the $128.00 candy kits from the link @ minitrails .com? i was wondering how the paint looks and should i have any concerns?

Question was just asked 2 days ago.

ct70 paint kits?

Depends on the color. Which are you looking to buy?

I used Don's kit on my '72 K1 resto, and couldn't have been happier with the results. My bike is Candy Ruby Red, and, while the original color had long-since faded to memory, the new paint sparkles in the sun like it's on fire.

The kit came with everything you could possibly need -- primer, base, candy, color, clear, gun cleaner, mixing buckets, stir-sticks and strainers. The instructions were excellent. While a friend with a ton of painting experience did the actual work for me, the paint went on easily and looks super.

Check this thread for pictures of the completed bike, if you want to see it. http://http://lilhonda.com/webboard/...-project-9576/

Oh, and I had an issue with shipping whereby the Post Office said the box was delivered, but it wasn't, and no one could find the thing. I emailed Don and he promised to make it right with me. The PO found the box and eventually delivered it three days later, but I was impressed that Don stepped up, even though it wasn't his fault at all.

I'd buy from him again, in a heartbeat.

I used a Candy Emerald Green kit and it turned out fantastic too. Some other colors are hit or miss.

Candy Blue-Green and Sapphire Blue kits were spot on correct!

What about Topaz orange?

My 70H is the orange. Don't remember if that's topaz or not. Here's the color

I used one of these kits to paint a Topaz Orange, I am not if it's dead on match because I have never seen a dead on match, but it's damn good looking.
