Damn guys I'm sorry, I just saw this thread...
You can tell that it was this guys first attempt at a candy... I can almost guarantee that he tried to just connect the ground and shoot the frame cold over the top of the original chrome base with a hobby gun that does not adjust voltage. That's why it's thicker and thinner in spots. He should have at least hot flocked if not stripped it bare and shot a new chrome base and then hotflocked the candy over that.
It's not a lost cause at this point necessarily (unless it's worse in person than I can see in the picture). It's still possible to hotflock it again and even it out (sometimes!).
Don't give up on the color that you want though, but those guys are correct, candies can be difficult. Do me a favor and take a look at the finish REALLY closely and tell me if you see "spider web" looking cracks in the candy and let me know.
