The candy blue process is as follows-
1st=Ground coat which in your case is just a plain blue
which when applied will dry matt.

2nd=Base coat which is not designed to have any covering properties
meaning it is very transparent, but it contain the mica particals which
give the sparkle to the finished colour and again this dries with no
shine.

3rd=Clear coat which give the protection and the shine which makes
the mica standout.

To sum up I dont think you would get a very good match from an all in one spray can.

You could get all three products mixed up in seperate can and obtain reasonable results.

You could buy the paints in 1/2 litre cans from Brown brothers etc
and then have them put into aerosols.

Anyway I'am off to fit my lowers which I painted yesterday in Y9H
2k.

I think bikepaints.co.uk can supply the various paints needed for a candy, or possibly Banditmania- I know they carry some of the SV colours. But it's also going to be hard to colourmatch from what I'm told as the colour is decided as much by the thickness of the colour coat as the colours used. Not BASAT advice as I've never tried it myself
