Kandy has depth to it, depending on the base and kandy coat will depend on how bright it is. Those aren't the best pics to show it off and kandy always looks better in person.

Kandy is sprayed in layers to give it depth, so it uses more paint, and is more time consuming than a reguar paint job so it costs a lot more than a regular paint job. They have to prep the car, primer it, spray it with the base coat, spray many layers of kandy then a few coats of clear to give it a deep shine.
