Anyone have any experience with these products?

I am considering using them on my Impala, but have not really looked into their price or availability in and around Toronto.

Any info would be much appreciated.

I am hoping to either use one of their 'marbleizer' products and/or a blue kameleon or Kandy with gold or orange flake, etc..

Basically trying to work out the best , cheapest way to get a 'lowrider' paint job without the airbrushing, etc..

As everyone has stated: HOK paint is possibly the nicest paint you can buy. Some would disagree...but anyone who has used it knows it is nice. BUT....it is pricey.

You may be able to get it through Davenport's automotive supply. There is a location in Bradford and one in Orangeville I believe. As for a sample book, the retailer may have one but other than that, you may have to go to an actual painter. I know of one who has a book and it is pretty awesome. As for pricey, I have heard anywhere from $200 a quart to about $800 a quart for the crazy stuff but that may be the wholesale price. Just curious, have you ever seen an entire car done in marblizer? I checked out a motorcycle tank and unless you are up close, it give the appearance that the entire piece is covered in some kind of dust that has been swirled around, especially if it is a dark colour, but that is just me. Their metal flakes on the other hand are the cat's ***.

Yeah....HOK metal flakes are well known to be the BEST. Period. I don't know if you can buy it off of this site......but they do sell it here.

Yeah, thanks guys.
The prices on that site would work out to about twice as much as my paint man half-heartedly quoted me last week.

I need to find somewhere in the city that deals in this stuff.
