I like GLITTER!!!

I put some paint on my seats, I like glitter.

 

Better glitter pic.

 

Did I seriously just hear a guy say he liked GLITTER? Seats look good, I'm a fan of straight up metal though. I havent seen the car yet, can someone indulge me?

 

I painted them because this car will see a lot of driving and I wasnt to into the rust factor, besides everyone is doing the raw metal thing, so I wanted something different. Heres a pic of the car. there are more in a post entitled " And now for something a lil different"

 

looks killer man...i hope you're going to chop that grille shough

 

men call it metal flake glitter is just too girly...

 

Haahaa!! My 9 year old daughter agrees!!

 

thats all fine, but I didnt use metal flake. I went into my 3 year olds art supplies and took his glitter. It is a little finer than flake, nad more corse than metalic. Its glitter.

 

Neat seats n neat glitter

 

So, your 3yr old boy plays with METAL FLAKE? Nice job...looks good.

 

The seats almost look powdercoated,,,,with glitter.
How did you do it?(paint/clear etc)We need glitter tech !
I like em.

 

All that metalflakes is not gold.

 

Flake by any other name still looks sweet.

 

I like the seats no matter what they're covered in.

 

Glitter is GREAT...except when ya get CAUGHT with it on ya from that chick at the STRIP CLUB by the wife.......

 

Here are some Clovers and Micro Flake.
Hard to take a pic cuz it just don't show up, for me.

The seats are just raw metal, sealed with a thin layer of etching sealer. I then painted them with a thick industrial gloss black coating to cover the grinding marks. After letting it dry for an hour I mixed up some clear and poured a liberal amount of my kids glitter in it. 2 coats of glitter later I left it at that. It was really easy, nd you are right it looks kinda like powder coat.

I like em, nice job !

 

I did some experimentation a few years ago, possible less expensive alternatives to 'flake.

The average craft glitter will lose it's color once exposed to sunlight very quickly. All the colored stuff I've seen turns silver, which I'm assuming is the base color of whatever they make it out of.

Depending on the type of clear you use, a lotta that stuff will melt into a globular mess.

 

Thats bitchin man!! I love it!!

 

Looks great!!

 

This stuff worked great, and didnt clog the tip in a 1.4 gun, which is really pretty small. I really like it.

 

So,,,,did you finally man-up & show your 3 year old where his glitter went?
Ya better replace it so he can get started on some Christmas cards!
Santa's watching.

Nice work, nice seats, nice rod.
