Bong water green...Now that's funny!

 

dont know how they can sell it for 13 bucks.HOK and METALFLAKE brand about 50 bucks a jar..see last weeks post about the guy that had a problem with some flake..cheap isnt always best.

 

I intend to try that flake out, it'll be on a test panel though! I do like alot of the colors they have. Theres been alot of talk about it on the Lay It Low forums, but I don't know if anyone there has actually sprayed any yet. For the price it can't hurt anything to test it out.

Guess you decided to do those bike parts yourself eh?

 

Naw, this is a totally different project. My neighbor is trying his hand @ custom paint jobs, he's done a few projects that have turned out nice. He going to paint this stuff for me and he's not going to charge me labor, all I have to do is buy the materials.

let us know how it works out,,post pics

 

did anybody see how many ounces the jars are ?

 

If all you gotta buy is the materials, splurge and buy a known-to-be-good product... you're already getting off cheap. My $.02

 

They're 4 oz. jars.....

 

they had a booth @ nor-cal billetproof last year i think, thats all i know though!

 

Dennis Roth is going to be at Detroit Autoram,.... ( He's staying with a friend of mine ) you can talk to him there or I can try to get the skinny on it when I see him.

 

That's a great point but this maybe a great product..
Harms Way any info. you can dig up would be appriciated.
I'll post some pics. of the roller soon.

Thanks

dont confuse cheap with crap! what that guy was usin wasn't even flake!
ROTH METALFLAKE is quality stuff at a fair price.Exsesivly priced isnt always best!

but what the hell do i know.

 

Here's the skinny,...
If you have seen the Roth tribute trike it was painted with this flake,... in a recent mag they painted the roof of a car with this flake, "Uncle" Bob Spina (Big Daddy's pal and painter) endorses it ,... and Sonny DePalma gives it a thumbs up,....... still worried ?

Dennis , Bob and Sonny will be at Autorama,.... I will get back to youz guyz to let you know where they will be hanging out

 

That's cool.. I'm ordering the stuff today. Thanks again guys!!!

Hey ,
How about posting a testimonial on this thread on how it worked out for you?
But by all accounts if you ever laid down "flake" before you'll love this stuff !

 

looks like a good deal and some cool colors. Only one problem though, bong water isnt that color!

 

seems legit,and thats a great price...any distributors on the east coast or do you have to get it from your website??

 

Don't know a thing about the flake. But what in the world is an "FRC smokin gun"?

 

We are in the middle of a distribution deal and for the time being its Mooneyes.Sacremento Vintage Ford,Double G,Dent. Spec. in Nebraska and Gambino Customs is coming aboard..So to answer your question no ,but we are looking for additional Distributors throughout the states and abroad..Steven

 

i still want to know how many ounces the jars are ?

 

The jars are 4 oz. jars but there is weighed out product of 2 oz.in each jar..We do Quantities not in jars but bags for the guys that want to do big projects...Steven

 

I scored some of the "lime squeeler" and its sick! Really looks to be some quality flake. You gotta love the names of some of these. One of the best is "dog pecker pink" haha... TMI dude!!

 

I just did a motorcycle gas tank using the "Mind Splitter" flake. It worked great and looks bad ass. I've used flake from all the major brands including some old 60's flake and this stuff is right up at the top. They also have colors that no one else has. On this tank I wanted something really wild and out there and it fit the bill perfectly! I'll post some pics tomorrow. I think what your seeing as far as price is the quanity of flake compared to HOK not the quality.I would def. recomend the product!!!!!

 

I just flew halfway round the world and on my list of things to get was some good old roth flake.......got me 2 jars.......I cant wait to lay it on a project soon. Matter of fact I might even sprinkle some on my weeties this morning..........bert

Before candies.




After candies and graphics. This flake is so vivid that you can still see the reds , blues and other colors that are in the flake shining through the green candy.

 

damn dude, lovin that flake job! nice work!
Which method did you use to lay your flake on? bazooka dry blow gun, or mixed in a paint gun or ??

 

I used the Roth Flake on the roof of my 34' pickup with great results. I mixed a solid color flake with a similiar color trippin flake for a better affect.
