Those sound like they would make a good basecoat under the candy.

Basically all you would need to do is spray 'candy' over those color, and presto, you have a tri-stage 'candy'.
Candy is basically a clearcoat with dye in it.

how does one get the dye? Where does the dye come from? The base added to the clearcoat??

I have no idea. You can use standard transparent tints, but they are not as potent and rich looking as the dyes.

Base metallic is sprayed first. THEN you apply the candy over this.

PPG makes candies called Radiance. I suggest you shoot your chrysler color as your base, mask the areas you want to stay "silver" then shoot your candy next. I assume you have access to PPG so I would recommend Romanesque crimson (72723), Sunset Gold (72722) or Wineberry (51811) radiance candy to substitute for the bordeaux red. Peel the masking and clear. I recently shot a similar color on a bike The Boot Bike. Good Luck

Thanks for that info.
Actually if anyone is interested in looking, this is what I want to do in the champagne and red:
