If its proper three stage Candy you have a problem, i would be tempted to blow into the Quaters if it was me doing the job.

But as its already said you need to know 1. the base colour 2. How many coats of candy 3. what make and Ratio to Binder 4. how many coats of Clear (and usaly what make)

How i do it is get a load of test Pannels and Base colour them all (as long as you have the correct Colour this won\'t change the end product) then start with two light coats on them all then put two to the side, three coats, two to the side etc until its gone way dark. Now let them all go off well and of the Two of each colour clear 1 with two coats of clear and two with three coats and dry (don\'t forget to mark up which is which). After all thats Dry you can get a good idea of How many coats of Candy you are going to have to put on and how many coats of Laqure to achive the correct sort of colour. As an example on a Candy car i recently painted i did aprox 20 spray out cards before i got a Colour i was happy with.  

candys great fun if you do decide to Blow into the Quaters do some research, its important you reapply the base coule to the tops of the Quaters (where it mates up to the Gate) or it will just keep getting darker.

Bit of Advice, G3 is Messy and its hard work by hand

Its often best to leave the Masking on or rough mask the area you are buffing, lots of people will tell you to add water as well, i use an old Window cleaner Sprayer bottle to keep it down to a Minimum (Water = Lots of spray = MESS) plus it waters the G3 down and it does\'nt cut as well.
