Below you'll see some examples of the different Pearl, Metallic & Kandy Guitar Finishes we have done.  If you don't see the type of finish your looking for below please contact us, chances are we can do it!

What is the difference between these finishes?

Pearls come in a variety of colors and are simply added over any color or finish for an added effect in certain lighting conditions & angles, many times referred to as a "Shimmer." Generally Pearls are used over Solid Colors, Black & White being the most common, however they can be used over any color.

Metallics are simply colors with Metallic already added in and are generally not as bright, bold & concentrated as Kandys. Silver for example is considered a Metallic. 

Kandies are Transparent Colors applied over a Metallic base, like Silver for example. The Silver gives the color its sparkle & luster & the Transparent Color gives the finish its Tint.
