flake/lace question for the lowrider guys

i know most of you guys use silver and black under lace, but does it look really shitty with metal flake under it? im buying back my old 62 cutlass and the roof is already flaked with silver flake. this is going to be my girls car and she really like the look of lace. ive already got the candy for it, but was just wondering if its too "flashy" with too much detail. thanks guys.

 

what color are you shooting over the silver?

you could shoot a light candy over all the flake as a base to calm down the silver, then shoot a dark candy during the lace coat.

Or spray one coat of Candy,then a couple more over the lace,
for a monochrome look.

It's also common to fog the edges after removing the lace.

 

i'm actually using some base that wa made by mistake. its late 90's mustang blue metallic but with red metallic instead of the blue. im adding it to clear. ive sprrayed candys before. im just not sure on the flake and lace together. i was planning on using a black as kind of a fog coat for the lace and then spraying all the candy over it. any suggestions or pics with both flake and lace together. this is pretty big flake sprayed over a silver base.

 

Flake and lace... flake and lace.. You sound like a girl... Jason.

 

i wonder who else is getting a car flaked...jason... but mine is going to be for my girl. not myself.

 

Flake yes...lots of it... No lace though.. a little too lowrider for me.. It does look good on the right car though... so we gonna be putting up the "dust retention tent" again, huh?...

 

if you allow it. i was thinking more at my buddies house, but i would rather do it at the shop...

 

The shops fine....See ya in the morning...keep dreaming about that flake and lace....

 

i don't know you tell me ......

 

any close up pics? basically im wondering if it will look too busy.

 

yeah i can email em to you . i cannot resize the pics . too stupid to figure it out . pm me your address ..... and no it really is not too busy . actually i think it looks better over flake than a metallic or pearl .....

 

Busy is better!!!!

Sometimes...

On the right car...

I like the idea of the monochrome look. For my buddies '63 Impala (very lowrider themed) He wants to panel the roof light gold and off white with gold pearl lace inlays with gold flake over the top of everything. Not very heavy, but enough. He told he wanted something busy. The he said for me to go crazy on it.

 

wow, looks awesome. anyone else got any pics?

 

Here's a few:
