Description

Grape Cande Base Coat

Grape Cande Base Coat is a deep, rich dark purple Kandy basecoat made by combining our premium Grape Cande concentrate with select pearl additives. This ready-to-spray formula is blended into the trusted Cande Shop base coat maker, creating a vibrant finish with bold clarity, intense depth, and that unmistakable candy paint glow.

This custom basecoat system is perfect for lowriders, show cars, motorcycles, and any project where a dark purple candy tone with metallic flair is needed. It delivers a smooth, glass-like appearance without the complicated mixing process required by traditional 3-stage Kandy systems. If you’re looking for even more sparkle and saturation, check out Grape Hard Cande — a higher load version that offers maximum pop.

FAQs

FAQs

Can I get express or overnight shipping on paint?

Unfortunately, no—express or overnight shipping isn’t available for paint. Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations classify paint as hazardous materials (haz-mat) under Hazard Class 3 (flammable liquids). These classifications mandate that such products can only be shipped via ground transportation—not by air ICC Compliance Center Inc - USArila.org.

The rationale is simple: shipping flammable liquids such as paint via air carries elevated safety and regulatory risks—including fire hazards and complex emergency response needs. Ground transport minimizes these risks and remains the only compliant mode under DOT regulations FMCSArila.org.
